Read the play and answer the questions.

Place: A child’s room with white walls, a white door, and a white bed. On the bed, there are some clothes.


Character: A doll, who looks very old and dirty, is sitting on the bed and speaking.


The doll: She should be here soon. We will play some games today.

(Three hours pass. NO ONE knocks on the door.)

The doll: Just a few more seconds. We might play “try-on-new-clothes” today.

(Five hours go by. NO SOUND is heard.)

The doll: Maybe the school bus is late. Soon she’ll be here, and we will sing and dance together.

(One day has flown away. The doll is still sitting on the bed, waiting.)

The doll: Maybe tomorrow.... I’m sure she’ll come tomorrow, and then we will play.

(There in the room, the doll repeats the same story every day …)
