HUGO DEANI RUNS LATE

Hugo Deani was really, really, really late!

His grandmother told him to pick up an ice cream cake and flowers-and don't be late!

But Hugo Deani had stopped to play, and the afternoon turned into a disaster!

The cake was melting, and he had a handful of stems instead of flowers.

Play had seemed more important than a cake and flowers.

Join Hugo Deani as he learns the harsh lesson that some things are more important than play.

"The best stories paint such vivid images in your mind that you feel yourself in the action and unable to stop thinking about it once the story ends.
