And, of course, she put her shoes on their proper feet. She remembered to feed her hamster, Humbert, his favorite food, broccoli. And when she made a sandwich for her brother Carls lunch, she used exactly the same amount of peanut butter as jelly. When she stepped outside to greet her fans, she didnt forget to say "good morning" and "thank you." They asked if she made her bed. She had. They asked if she forgot to do her math homework. Nope. "What about tonights talent show?" they asked. "Im ready!" said Beatrice with a smile. After all, her juggling act had won three years in a row. Most people in town didnt even know Beatrices name. They just called her "the Girl Who Never Makes Mistakes," because for as long as anyone could remember, she never did.
