''Go girls!'' Gru cheered from the crowd. Edith and Agnes's school were practising for a football game. ''To me'' he heard Edith shout. Agnes ran to kick the ball, but she accidently ran in to a rabbit hole nearby and caught her foot! '''Oww'' she yelped so loudly that even Edith came running up to her sister. ''What's the matter?'' she asked. At that moment Gru had arrived on the scene himself.
''Ok Edith, there's a good girl'' he panted, ''Agnes what happened?''. ''My foot really hurts'' Agnes moaned her eyes filling up with tears, ''I can't get up''. ''Oh boy'' Gru said, ''I think dat I'd better take you to de hospital''. He gently picked Agnes up and headed over to the coach was and explained what had happened. The he hurried off with her.
''Agnes Gru'' a nurse called out. ''Mr Gru, what happened?''. ''Well'' Gru began, ''Agnes was practising football and unfortunately ran into a bench''. ''Ok then'' the nurse began, ''Agnes you will need an x-ray on that foot''. Agnes nodded. ''Your sisters have both had this'' Gru reminded her. ''Remember when Edith broke her leg and when Margo broke her arm?''.
Agnes did, she remembered Edith falling out of a tree and Margo falling off her bike. ''Does an x-ray hurt?'' she asked with puppy dog eyes. ''Oh no, of course not'' Gru reassured. In the x-ray room Agnes lay very still as the picture was taken. ''This picture Agnes'' the doctor said, ''shows that you have a broken foot, so you will need plaster cast to help the bone to mend''.
Agnes looked nervously at Gru who nodded reassuringly. ''Could I have white like a unicorn?'' she asked hopefully giving her best puppy dog eyes. ''Sure'' the doctor nodded,
''This is the easiest cast that we'll ever make''. Seconds later Agnes arrived home with crutches. ''Remember'' Gru said, ''Lucy and I will be around if you need any help''. ''Ok'' Agnes nodded. Just then Edith [who had come home with Lucy after football practise] came to look at Agnes's cast. ''So you broke your too?'' she asked, remembering the time she'd fallen out of a tree.
''Yeah I broke a foot'' Agnes replied. ''And I broke a leg'' Edith said. ''Dat means'' Gru answered, ''that you have both broken lower body bones''. ''How'' Edith asked. ''De leg and foot are the two lower parts of your body'' Gru said, ''But de ankle joins de legs and feet together ''. He showed the girls some pictures of the human skeleton on his laptop.
[Several weeks later]
''You can do it Agnes!'' Gru cheered from the stands. Agnes wheeled round up to the ball in a wheelchair and kicked the ball with her foot that wasn't broken, and scored!. ''That was very good Agnes'' Gru said on the way home, ''You got around a lot faster in that wheelchair''. Edith however sulked quietly to herself with jealously. But Gru and Agnes paid no attention.
The End
