When Tim got to school he knew he was late because the playground was empty.

He sneaked into his classroom and quietly sat down.

Mrs Brown looked at her watch and said, "You're late again Timothy Hunt."

Tim looked at the ceiling and then down at his shoes. I'm sorry, said Tim.

What reason do you have for being late this time? asked Mrs Brown.

My dog followed me to the bus stop and I had to take him back home. Then I missed the bus and I had to wait a long time for another one to come, said Tim.

Mrs Brown snapped, This has been happening far too often!

I know, mumbled Tim.

You will have to catch up the work you have missed, said Mrs Brown, and you'll have to do it in your own time.
