Exercise 3.6

Sally McMullen is a 9-year old girl who loves adventure. She loves to check out old black-and -white adventure movies from the library like Tarzan and The Swiss Family Robinson. She first got in trouble for her adventuring when she was four years old. She crawled inside the dryer at her house and had her big brother turn it on for a second. She was not hurt, but her mother had never been madder at her brother, and later, her brother had never been madder at her. She was smart in her adventuring, and would always read up on a scheme in the encyclopedia before going out to try it. When she was 8, her family went to Africa where she made a pet of a dung beetle, and persuaded her brother to jump out of their tour bus with her to get a closeup look at a wildebeest. Now that she is 9, she has plans to build an underground fortress out behind the backyard shed.
