She looked up into the ladder and saw that someone was coming down. Wearing a purple dress and had blonde hair like Jennifer, she turned around and saw the girl, still shocked from the ladder coming down.
“Oh, Jennifer, you’re here,” she said.
“Hey, mom,” Jennifer said to her mother, not very pleased that she didn’t make it to her room in time.
“I’m glad that you’re now here,” her mother said, “Since you’re finished with the exams and won’t be having class for the next week, I want you to go into the attic and bring down a couple of boxes for Goodwill.”
Jennifer let out a loud groan, not wanting to do any chores. Unfortunately, her mother didn’t seem to care.
“And when you’re done, I want you to come downstairs and dust the furniture while I clean out the garage,” she added, “Just look for the boxes that says ‘Goodwill’ on it and bring them down for me, okay?”
As her mother went downstairs, Jennifer said to herself, “Great.” She wanted to chat with her friends online, but now it will have to wait. Mumbling to herself, Jennifer climbed up the ladder and went into the attic.
The attic has boxes, shelves, lamps, vases, picture frames, and a really old globe. What’s not in there were dust and cobwebs. Jennifer figured that her mother must have finished dusting the place. On the floor was a feather duster covered with dust and cobwebs. “Must be for me,” she said to herself. She looked ahead and saw three boxes stacked together, each of them saying “Goodwill” on it. When she picked them up, something fell out from a hole underneath the bottom box.
“What’s this?” she asked herself, putting down the boxes.
It looked a purple gemstone with pink streaks on it. Jennifer picked it up off the floor and took a closer look on it. After gazing at it for a few seconds, she thought that is looked pretty so she decided to keep it. She placed it into her pocket, picked the boxes back up, and carefully walked down the ladder, not forgetting the feather duster that was on the floor.
