Attention please,

there will be no exams this year.

Yaaa.

If they really canceled the exams,

Robbie would give his big graduation party today.

And if the big party was today,

I mean if the big party were today,

he would tell all his friends about it.

And if all his friends came to the big party,

Robbie would shop for lots of food.

He would buy all the food

for the big party

if he went shopping in the supermarket.

Ice cream, soda, candy and cake.

Ummm.

Everyone would have a great time

at Robbie’s big party

if he bought all that food.

Hey Robbie,

you sure know how to throw a party.

This is great food.

But wait. What happened to the music?

If Robbie played some more music,

everyone could be dancing

and having fun at the big party.

Oh no, no music.

It’s boring.

What do we do?

And if the big party wasn’t much fun.

Well, if the big party

weren’t much fun anymore,

everyone might go home.

See you, Robbie.

Let me try.

But no music?

Let’s leave.

And if everyone left the big party,

Robbie would be alone.

Attention please. Exams will be given tomorrow.

Well, Robbie, the party’s over.

It would be great

if the exams were really canceled.

But they’re not.

So study, Robbie, study.

Ohhh, look at the book.

Study, Robbie, study.

Yaaa, Robbie.

Study, Robbie, study.
