Our June Experiment (Tragedy!)

Hooray! Aunt March and the King family left for vacation! That means that Jo and Meg will be free for a while. They decided to do nothing during their freedom, and Amy and I, agreeing with decided the same thing. We just did want we wanted for a whole week, ignoring our chores and everything!
Well,  on Saturday, we woke to Mother very tired in bed. There was no breakfast waiting or fire in the fireplace! Even Hannah wasn't home! We decided to do our chores and we fixed breakfast to bring up to mother. Later, when I went to check on my bird, Pip, I found that he was dead! He starved to death, with his claws reaching out for food! Oh, Pip!
We had a funeral after a terrible dinner! It was so sad. Later, I wanted to just lock myself in my room, but the beds weren't made. So instead, beat pillows and cleaned.
It turns out that mother was teaching us a lesson! That we have to do our chores to keep everything in order. Well, alright Marmee! We'll do our chores and never have another experiment like this again!
