On a hot Summer's Sunday in June, Gloria, the maid of the Queen of England, woke up from sleep. She had a pink nightgown on. Gloria woke up because she heard. . .some kind of drill! It sounded horrible! It was coming from the new neighbors who were very mean.
Gloria leaned out the window and she shouted to a six foot man holding a scary drill. "What's with the drill?!" Gloria asked.
The man shouted back to Gloria. "It's none of your business!" he said in a mean voice.
Then Gloria went back to bed. It was morning now and Gloria wanted revenge. So she made a plan. A very good plan. This is how it went. "I am going to put bugs in his ice and in his bed!"
The next night that is just what she did.
