Ronnie, a young boy in the third grade, was not looking forward to the upcoming school day. He had forgotten to do his homework the night before and was dreading the consequences. As he walked to school, he couldn't help but hope for a snow day, so he wouldn't have to face his teacher's disappointment.

To Ronnie's surprise, as he approached the schoolyard, he noticed the other children playing joyfully in the freshly fallen snow. The principal's voice came over the loudspeaker, announcing a snow day. Ronnie couldn't believe his luck and quickly joined his friends in their snowy adventures.

The day was filled with building snowmen, having snowball fights, and sledding down the hill behind the school. Ronnie was having the time of his life, not thinking about his forgotten homework at all. As the sun began to set, the children reluctantly made their way home, their cheeks rosy from the cold.

That evening, as Ronnie sat down to dinner, he suddenly remembered his homework. He felt a twinge of guilt, realizing he had taken the unexpected snow day for granted. He knew he should have completed his work the night before, regardless of the weather. From that day on, Ronnie made sure to always do his homework, even if it meant sacrificing a little bit of playtime.
