Sarah Sues Santa – P.J. Leonard
Sarah watched in horror as Mum's eyes became shiny with tears. Uh oh.
Mum turned away, and Dad laid an arm over her shoulder, whispering softly in her ear. Then he
turned to stare at Sarah, his face twisted with rage.
"You see what you've done?" He growled, "Well, I hope you're happy now you made your Mum
cry. It's time you learned a lesson!"
Dad reached up to the edge of the doorframe and took a key.
"You will stay in this room until the dinner party is over," he said, inserting the key into the door,
"You will learn to appreciate what you have."
Dad slammed the door shut, and with a click locked her in the bedroom. Sarah listened, frozen to
the edge of the bed, as she listened to her Mum’s sobs disappear down the corridor.
Sarah was alone in her bedroom. And just like before, it had ended with her Mum in tears.
