A job whispered Ivy A job called Bean Very good the Principal said That's right At today's Career Fair you will meet people who have many different kinds of jobs so you can learn all about the wonderful interesting careers you can choose when you're grown up
Bean stopped listening She already knew what she wanted to be when she grew up an arborist Arborists climbed trees They climbed trees and cut off their dead branches with huge chain saws She could hardly wait The Principal was still talking the PTA has spent many weeks organizing this event and it is an important learning opportunity so I expect you children to be polite and respectful Emerson emissaries Finally she stopped and took a breath Does anyone have any questions Are there rides asked Emma 15
