*****
Molly has a secret that she decides to share with her friend Olive. Olive struggles
with keeping the secret “secret”. It is constantly on her mind, until she can no longer take
it. She spills the beans to Joe, who proceeds to tell a friend, who tells another. The secret
eventually gets retold to Molly herself. Boy, is she ever mad at Olive! The ending is especially
humorous for the reader, when the secret is revealed. All readers, old and young will remember
a time when they either didn’t keep a secret or at least struggled to keep one.
