"A brand new day for adventure!", Ae-cha exclaimed. "We're going to the skate park today, and I have brand new roller-skates. They're sunny yellow and have cat stickers on them!"

Soon after, her father came downstairs.

"We've made some changes to today's plans. I need to drop off some mail and do the laundry, so we won't be going to the skate park today."

Ae-cha gasped in shock. "But you promised!"

He tried to reassure her. "We can go next week."

"But next week is so far away! I wanted to try my new roller-skates today!", Ae-cha whined.

He tried to explain. "I'm so sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it right now."
