   There are many angels,but none as special as Angie.She had a harp.The only angel with one.Many people envyed her and her harp.Her mother bought it for her 12th birthday.It was very special to her.If she ever lost it her heart would be completly broken.

One day in December when she was sleeping someone krept into her bedroom and stole it.The harp was sitting on her stand on a pillow.When Angie awakened she looked straight over to the stand.Oh no!It was gone!There was a dent where the harp had been.She fell into her pillow and started crying.

It took days to find the harp.When they did three of the strings were broken.The police made the criminal buy Angie a new harp.But it wasn't the same.She wanted the one from her mother.The new one was silver too,not gold like her old one.She just couldn't accept it.

The theif defintly didn't know how to play the harp.But that doesn't matter anymore he ruined the harp and that was all Angie could take.If maybe she could just get new strings.That would work!But where would she get the money?Her plan was ruined,unless she could earn the money.

She knew just how,too.She could watch pets for people!If her plan succeeded,she could get enough money for the new strings.But if it failed......She'd rather not think about it.

That was settled,she started pet-sitting that very day.She sat for Miss Heltons kitten,Sarah's Greyhound,David's turtle and Jeff's bird.

She made just enough money for the three strings with a dollar left over.She stopped the pet-sitting buissness and fixed her harp,and everything was just as perfect as it started.
