What a Horrible Look!

"Oh no! What have those stinky curlers done to me! How can I go to school!" Ida shrieked in horror. All her family members came running up to her in alarm. However, her father decided she should learn to tackle the problem, so she was left alone. Ida was utterly speechless.

Poor Ida then tried to use the brush to untangle her "bush", but the stubbon curls just refused to listen. Next, she tried to attack every strand of hair, but it didn't even lie flat, so she kept muttering to herself, both absent-mindly and furiously. Iritated and annoyed Ida was so frustrated that she was out of her mind trying to gel it, making it even worse, as it became solid as rock in the matter of a few minutes. It was actually a tangle of knots. She had no choice other than use shampoo, but her attempt was not successful.

After trying all sorts of solutions, Ida's hair was even more disgusting than before. The bundle of hair was so greasy and cluttered up that she could have poured a whole tank of petroleum over it. She flung open the mirror and the disgusting and bizarre look made her sweat. She pinched herself to check that this wasn't a dream. No, this was a living nightmare! It was all bunched up as if she had gone through a hedge backwards. Ida was so perplexed and confused.

Suddenly, Ida's mom Mary stepped into the bathroom. She stared at Ida, simply too astounded and stunned to utter a word. She gaped and gasped for air, as she was paralyzed with shock. Her mouth hung open and she seemed pallid enough to faint. Her sister Nancy came in too, but stopped in her tracks. Her jaws dropped and she gawked at Ida. Mary sprung into action immediately. She grabbed a wet brush, and poured a whole bottle of brow-flattening drop onto it. She hit her hair again and again as if her hair were a punching bag,and whipped open some cupborads,managing to surface holding a bottle of conditioner. She did not bother to soak the hair, but poured some conditioner onto it, so everything became like new. She was so quick that the process was done in five minutes. "There you are ,Ida! Whip on your clothes and grab your bag.There's no time to lose!" Mary hollered.

When Ida arrived at school, Miss Smith announced that she had got the winner prize for a drawing competiton, but had missed the ceromony became she was so late. Ida gave a deep breath.Phew!
