The Forgotten Homework


Marcus went to the library to finish his work.

When he walked in, everything was quiet.

He chose a table near the window and opened his notebook.

At first, he felt distracted.

He looked around the room, watched people walking by, and tapped his pencil on the table.

“I can’t focus,” he thought.

Then he noticed that everyone else was sitting quietly and working.

No one was talking, and no one was moving around too much.

Marcus took a deep breath and looked back at his paper.

He started with one question, then another.

Slowly, he began to concentrate more.

The quiet space helped him think clearly.

When he finished, he checked his work and felt proud of what he had done.

As he packed his bag, he thought, “Working in a quiet place helps me do better.”
