Question

Although the sun was shining brightly, tall buildings cast dark shadows across the playground. Kelsey approached the plastic structure, checking inside each tower and tunnel, but there was no sign of her younger brother, Spencer, anywhere. Once more, Kelsey scanned the basketball court and saw only older kids playing there. How had Spencer wandered off so quickly? Kelsey wondered as she began to grow nervous. She ventured out to the street corner to see if Spencer was waiting for her at the bus stop, but the small shelter was empty.

Kelsey gazed up at her apartment building across the street. Spencer wouldn't have gone back home without telling her, would he? He knows he's not supposed to cross the busy street by himself, and besides, they needed to catch the next bus to make it to their movie in time.

Just then, Kelsey heard Spencer calling her name excitedly. In his arms, he cradled a scruffy-looking stray cat. With a sigh of relief and a roll of her eyes, Kelsey led her brother to the bus stop. Now, it was just a matter of talking him into letting the cat go.
