jumped up, ran up the __4__ to the stage, and grabbed the bill from his hand.As I was launching myself

As I got the bill from his hand, he turned to me and said, "Yes, that"s it! We can"t wait around for

leaving until he sings to his sister!"

sunshine,you make me happy when skies are gray. . . "Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate
becomes calm and steady.
