Ronnie Isn't Clumsy

[For children]

EDITH F. CHRISTENSEN

Crash!

There went the brand new bedroom mirror in Ronnie's room. Now he was in trouble! Mother had worked all winter to earn enough money for his new bedroom furniture, Ronnie remembered. She'd also given him the new belt he had been swinging so carelessly around his head when the buckle hit the mirror.

Ronnie felt very bad as he sat down on his new bed and thought about his many scoldings for carelessness. He remembered the new truck he'd gotten for Christmas and had broken in just a day. And the time he'd gone to a friend's house and had broken a new game. Dad had gone all over that strange town to find a toy store and buy a new one. That really made Ronnie feel clumsy. 'Well, everyone was always telling him he was clumsy! But no one told him how to stop being that way.
