My Mammy the Lollipop Lady

Every morning, Mammy, the lollipop lady with bright pink hair, stood proudly at her post outside the school. Today, however, she noticed something troubling: the crossing light was broken. Without it, crossing the street became dangerous for the children. Mammy knew she had to find a way to fix it quickly. - What if the children can't cross safely? Mammy worried aloud.

Mammy tried to call the city repair office, but the phone lines were busy. She paced back and forth, worried about the children's safety. - I can't let them down, she muttered determinedly. Just as she decided to wait a bit longer, a large delivery truck parked right in front, blocking her view. She felt more anxious as time ticked by.

Mammy decided to take matters into her own hands and borrow a friend's tool kit. As she fiddled with the wires of the crossing light, the rain began to pour. - Not now! she exclaimed, trying to shield herself with her arms. The tools slipped from her hands, and she felt defeated. With every failed attempt, the stakes felt higher.

Frustrated and soaked, Mammy sat on the curb, contemplating giving up. - Maybe I can't do this, she sighed, watching the cars speed by. - But what about the kids? she thought, feeling torn. She imagined the children's disappointed faces and felt a pang of determination. But deep down, doubt clung to her.

Just then, Mr. Thompson, the school janitor, approached with a knowing smile. - Looks like you could use a hand, he said warmly. He shared some advice on a simple fix he once used. Mammy listened intently, feeling a spark of hope. Together, they worked out a plan to solve the problem.

With renewed energy, Mammy and Mr. Thompson worked tirelessly to fix the light. Soon, the crossing light flickered back to life, glowing brightly. - We did it! Mammy cheered, high-fiving Mr. Thompson. The children clapped joyfully as they crossed safely. Mammy felt proud, knowing justice had prevailed.
