Keeping My Word

Written by Natasha Andersen and illustrated by Kayela Larsen

The service activity is on Wednesday to help with the park cleanup, Will. Can I count on you being there?

Yes, Bishop. I said I’d help, and I’ll keep my word.

I’ll keep MY WORD.

Isn’t the football game on Wednesday? I was going to watch that …

Maybe I should do my homework now while I have time so I won’t be tempted to do it later.

Hey! Come hang out with us on Wednesday!

I could just take a quick nap before I go—I’d still have time, right?

I kept my word. I’m ready to work!
