第25章 Lesson 24: Oops

Mandy went on a vacation in the mountains with her parents and little brother Austin. They stayed in a little cabin without any electricity or running water. It was fun to have lanterns at night and bathe in the cold mountain stream. The biggest problem for Mandy was that she missed her best friend, Annabell. Mandy found her dad's cell phone and called Annabell. They talked for nearly an hour! When Mandy's dad tried to call his office, the cell phone was dead. He was very angry!
