 “This is the third time that you have been late , Julia . Why?”Mr. Malone stopped Julia as she walked by his desk. Julia explained , “I’m sorry . I was cleaning the tables in the science room . Someone spilled（洒）the chemical , so cleaning took me longer than usual . ”

Mr. Malone replied . “I’ve talked to you about your lateness . I am afraid you won’t be able to go with us in the field trip .”“But…” Julia cried . Mr. Malone stopped her . “Unless your parent comes in to discuss this with headmaster and me , you won’t be attending . ”

After dinner , Julia found the courage to talk to her dad . She told about the messy science tables and how her science teacher would deduct（减去）points from their daily grades if they did not clean up . Her friends’ next class was on the opposite side of the building . Since her class was nearby , Julia volunteered to help clean up so that her friends would not be late . Then she explained how this would prevent her from attending the school trip . Her dad watched her for several seconds . Finally , he simply said , “I’ll be there right after school .”

The next day after school , Julia walked to the office . Her father and Mr. Malone were already there . Mrs. Thompson , the headmaster , spoke , “Julia , why were you cleaning the science tables alone ?”

Julia answered slowly ,“I guess no one wants to clean up , and I don’t want my friends to get into trouble . ”“But you got yourself in trouble . ”Mrs. Thompson said . Julia nodded . Julia’s dad continued , “You’re still responsible for breaking the rules ; even if it was for a good reason . Do you have any ideas for a punishment ? ” Julia shook her head hopelessly .

“Normally , your lateness would prevent you from attending some school activities . However , I have considered the reason and will allow you to go on the trip . ”Mrs. Thompson said . Julia jumped out of her seat , repeating , “Thank you , thank you , thank you ! ”“Don’t be too excited . You’ll have a one-day detention (课后留校) for each lateness . ”Mrs. Thompson warned , “I hope you won’t be late again . ”

“No , madam , I won’t .” Julia replied , smiling from ear to ear .
