The Fight

"THAT IS MY TOY!" shouted Meryem.

"NO IT IS MY TOY!" shouted Meryem's twin sister, Fatimah.

"I don't like you!!" said Meryem. She hit Fatimah and then her mom came and said, "What is all the commotion about?"

"Meryem said that is her toy when it is mine. Then she hit me!!!" sobbed Fatimah.

"No! That is my toy," said Meryem, starting to argue.

"Now settle down, I am going to give both of you a punishment," said their mom. "You will be grounded for a week. You will also be in your room for a day."

After their punishment they knew never to do that.
