That was where she worked. Mrs. Grander gave her a basket. While she was picking apples, she was doing some thinking. She got a dollar for every bushel she picked. She needed five more dollars before she could buy her bicycle. So, she decided to pick two bushels today. When she was done. Mr. Grander went to get her pay. When he came back, he said, "Something strange is going on around here." “What is it?” Tina asked in a surprised voice. "Last night when I put the apples away, there were 20 bushels. Now there are just fifteen.” “Who do you think took them 0 " Tina asked.

"I have no idea.” said Mr. Grander. "What time did the thief take the apples?" asked Tina. Mr. Grander replied that he thought it must have been around midnight. As Tina was w alking home, she was pondering the problem. She decided to go back at 11:20 that night to see if she could catch the crooks She slipped quietly out of the house and went to the orchard. At about 12 she heard someone whispering under one of the trees. Then three figures went into Mr. Grander's building. Just then Tina sneezed! "Sad" By Jill Haab It was the month before the state finals when Summer first noticed the small swelling on her leg. Summer Ann Saunders w as a pretty, blonde-haired, blue-eyed senior at Franklin high. Fort Wayne. Ind. She had worked her way up to the state finals in gymnastics Summer had never noticed the bump before — probably because this w as the first time it had ever given her any pain. Somehow, she made it through practice, and when she got home she show ed the bump to her mother. The next day after school Summer sat in the little hospital room waiting for the doctor to come and look at her leg. She had to miss the next few days of school to undergo a lot of tests. A week later the tests came back — positive; Summer had cancer. Now she had to decide if she wanted her leg 7 amputated now or if she wished to wait until after the gymnastic meet; she had so wanted to compete in it. The doctor advised that the leg be amputated — the sooner, the better, but she just had to take part in that meet. Summer knew it could be a matter of life or death, but she chose to compete. In the few weeks left before the

event Summer practiced hard, even though her leg did hurt. The day of the meet Summer was so nervous that she almost forgot about her leg. but the pain was too great to forget it completely. Finally, the meet was over. Summer had finished in second place, but she didn't even care. All she cared about was getting her leg off. for it really hurt badly now. The accident happened on the way to the hospital. Summer screamed as she saw the speeding car cross the center line and come straight toward her mother's car. Summer and her mother were both killed in the head-on crash.
