Short Summary: The Rescue By Mr. Plummings
The Rescue
As he got out of bed, John, who has pale skin, dark hair, and blue eyes, rushes downstairs and eats his breakfast. Pondering where his parents could be, John gets dressed, ready for school. He sprints to his formal, spacious, neat private school, Wisconsin School of Arts, and walks to meet his best friend, Mike, who has dirty blonde hair with beaming brown eyes. John and Mike walk into their school, enter their untidy, dirty, unpleasant classroom, and find a seat. All of a sudden, Mrs Plummings, the Principal of the school, who is enormously fat, with fiery dark eyes, and short untidy hair. As she struggles to fit through the door of the classroom, the class start to laugh, making Mrs Plummings very sad. Mrs. Plummings silences the

She calmly tells the students that the school is having some budget problems. Surprised by the news, Mike ponders what will happen to the school. The next day, the students walk in the classroom, getting ready the class to begin. Not two minutes later, Mrs Plummings bursts into the classroom, telling the class that there won't be any school today nor next week, so everyone could go back home. As the class leaves the classroom, John and Mike start to realize that something is definitely wrong, other than the school’s budget problems. As John and Mike busily do their homework for the weekend, Molly, Mike’s brown-haired, blue-eyed, tall, muscular older sister walks in to tell the boys that dinner is ready. John and Mike race down the stairs to the kitchen table to meet Mr and Mrs Palmer, waiting at the kitchen table. Mr Palmer, Mike’s dad, had perfectly trimmed brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a bushy beard. Mrs Palmer, Mike’s mom, had long, wavy blonde hair, and gleaming brown eyes. As the two adults welcomed the boys, they served dinner, spaghetti and meatballs. The boys raced to finish their food, and spant back to Mike’s room to finish up their homework. When Mr and Mrs Webber, John’s parents, arrived, Mike and John say goodbye as John is …show more content…
When school break was over, and everyone returned back to school, Mrs Plummings made an announcement on the intercom that the school will be running a marathon for the entire week. Everyday was exhausting as the school kept on running and running until they stopped. Mike and John knew that they were doing all of this because of the school’s budget problems. Over the break, they were thinking of running a doggy day care service to raise money to fix the school’s budget problems, but they already knew everything would be alright, since they were running in the marathon. As the school approached the month of May, the school was gathered to the theatre to hear an important announcement. All of a sudden, as Mrs Plummings couldn’t contain her emotion, she exclaimed in the microphone that Wisconsin School of Arts will be closing down by the end of the school year! Shocked by this announcement, Mike and John looked directly at each other, knowing just what to do. They had to start the doggy day care service, to save their school. When they were released for the weekend, the boys raced to John’s house to start making a plan for their doggy day care service. During the weekend, John and Mike started taking care of their
