When Paul's mother asked him to take some cookies. over to the Johnson's house he didn't want to do it. He was usually an obedient boy but he was very busy building a new race track for his favorite cars. Now he would have to put it off and who knew he would get back to finishing it? Their family and the Johnson's were good friends and he liked going to their house to play, just not right now. His mother reminded him, "Mrs. Johnson has been ill and probably doesn't feel much like baking. I want to let her know we're thinking of her and the family."
