Jen walked back to her little shelter. As she was walking, she saw Sarah, who looked as if she was crying. Jen walked up to her.
"Hey Sarah. Why are you crying?" asked Jen.
"I got turned down from the Junior Reporters Club. They said I was too dull and that I couldn't find any good stories." replied Sarah.
"Well... nothing much happens here, am I right?" Jen said, trying to make Sarah feel better.
"Yeah, but other kids could get so many scoops but I couldn't. I'm USELESS!" shouted Sarah and she threw herself against the nearby lamppost.
For the first time, Jen felt sorry for Sarah. She tried consoling her but found nothing that helped. Suddenly, an idea struck her.
"Sarah!" Jen shouted. "Did you know that when I was in the toilet in school, I found out that I could control water?!" Sarah just shook her head morosely.
"I know you're trying to make me feel better, but I don't need to hear any jokes. Not at least right now."
Jen shook her head even more than Sarah.
"Really! I can prove it to you! Come on, let's go to the fountain at Woodland Park. I'll show you."
