DM Edith's Bad Day

It was very late at night in the Gru residence and it was bedtime for the three girls, Margo, Edith and Agnes. But Edith was still up. She was the middle of her new book that was called The Ninja Express.

It was all about a group of ninjas who rode about on their very own steam train and Edith thought it was the best book she'd read in her life so far and it was just too difficult to stop reading, even after lights out.

So Edith got a torch from inside one of the drawers and switched it on under her duvet. Edith read on and on until she fell fast asleep. Next morning Edith didn't hear her parents trying to wake her up ready to go off to school.

Gru shook her franticly ''Edith, come on!'' he hissed ''Get up, you've overslept! School starts in five minutes! You will have to eat breakfast while we walk to school now!'' He quickly gathered some cereal bars and pieces of fruit so that Edith wouldn't get hungry.

Then While Lucy headed off with Margo to Despicableburg secondary school, Gru, Edith and Agnes ran all the way to Despicableburg Elementary school. They were just in time as the bell rang!

Gru quickly kissed Edith and Agnes on the head and said ''Goodbye girls, have a good day'' before he left. That morning it was rather hot inside the classroom and that didn't help Edith's lack of sleep at all.

She just dropped off to sleep with her head on her desk and Miss Brown had to shout to wake her up to pay attention for the morning's lessons.

But Edith still struggled to keep her eyes open, They felt so heavy and were full of sleep.
