Dear Mr. Winston

• Cara has to write an apology letter for bringing a snake into the library
• Her parents make her write the letter
• The letter needs to be genuine, meaning it needs to be honest and meaningful
• Cara brought the snake into the library in a cardboard box
• She was trying to find out what kind of snake it was by looking for pictures in the library
• She wanted to use the big green reference book that could not leave the library
• Cara sends flowers to the librarian who got taken away in the ambulance
• She apologizes many times
• She bought the snake with one month's allowance (saved money)
• The librarian wanted to see what was in the box
• Cara does not think it was poisonous
• The librarian opened the box, saw the snake, screamed, and fainted.  When he fainted his whole body went into a rash, and the snake slithered over and touched him
