I was getting dark. Paul looked out of the window and sighed*. Dad had promised to play1with him, but he still didn't get home. Paul was so disappointed that he walked into his room and threw his baseball into the corner. He tried to do some homework, 2he couldn't.
Then the phone rang. It was Dad:" Paul, I'm 3, but I couldn't play baseball with you tonight. I'm still at work. Maybe we can play next weekend?”

The next day at school, Paul didn't hand in his homework and5 a test. Mrs. Green, his teacher, asked him to stay after school. "Paul, you didn't do your homework. You didn't pass the test and only got a D. What's wrong?”
Paul just sat there6. "Paul, if you don't want to talk, I will. I know that7 is worrying with you, but you have to get it out. You need to tell someone. ”
