12. "Try that story on Principal Pringle", said Scheming Suzie's school teacher.  Suzie stood before Pringle and began, "I was on my way to school, and I cut through the park like I always do.  Since I was early, I got down on a bench to rest.  I put my essay in my lunch bag, and set it beside me.  Just then I noticed a black sqirrel run past and scamper up a nearby tree.  He was halfway up the tree when he suddenly froze and slowly backed down the tree trunk before taking off.  I was curious to see what had frightened him so I looked up the tree and saw a red scarf.  I climbed up to get it and just then a big dog grabbed my lunch bag with my essay in it, and ran off".  Pringle sighed and replied, "Suzie you can't possibly expect me to believe that one can you ?"  Why not ?
