Room 6 lined up quietly outside the school office, each student holding a small backpack. Ms Patel checked the list twice before smiling and saying, “If everyone is ready, we can leave early and beat the traffic.” Jacob looked at the cloudy sky and tucked his jacket under his arm. He had not brought an umbrella, but he kept glancing up at the darkening clouds. By the time the bus pulled away, the playground was empty and the first cold drops had begun to fall.

He is worried about rain and wishes he had brought an umbrella. He is unhappy because he does not want to go on the bus. He is excited because he has packed extra food for the trip. He is late because he forgot to bring his backpack.
