Fortune And the Golden Trophy (2009)
“Mrs Brown decided that it was too late in the evening to cook dinner and bought them takeaway fish and chips as a treat. “Why don’t you have a bath and get an early night?” her mother suggested. “You got up at six so you must be tired, and you’ve got school in the morning.”
The mention of school made Issie panic. Upstairs in her bedroom two weeks’ worth of homework was sitting on her desk, still unfinished.
The last thing Issie felt like was hitting the books, but tonight was her last chance. T...wo of the assignments were due in tomorrow and she had to get them done. If her mum found out that Issie was slipping behind on her homework, she’d be bound to blame her riding. And so Issie readily agreed to the suggestion of an early night, and sat down at her study desk to try and do a fortnight’s worth of work in one evening.
By 10 p.m. she was slumped over her maths book, unable to go on any longer. At times like these, she decided, there was only one thing for it. She needed chocolate.MoreLess
