It’s Monday morning and Thabo’s family is getting ready for the day.

Mama is in a hurry.
She sloshes her tea across the counter.

But where is Thabo?

Slow down, Mama.

Baba is in a hurry.
His clothes are all wrong.

Slow down, Baba.

Zinzi is in a hurry.
She gobbles up her cereal.

Has anyone seen Thabo?

Slow down Zinzi.

Thabo! Where is Thabo?

Thabo is not in a hurry.

Hurry up, Thabo!
You will be late for school and remember,
it’s soccer practice today.

Thabo is in a hurry.

Hurry up, everyone.
It’s soccer practice today.
