Make an Emergency Aid
By Patti Hutchison 		  
1     Katie was ready to start making some money of her own. Her mom said she should start babysitting. Katie thought that was a good idea. Her mom signed her up for a class about how to babysit.
 
2     Katie was enjoying the class. She was learning a lot of things she needed to know in order to be a good babysitter. Today's class was about making an emergency aid.
 
3     The teacher said that in an emergency, every second counts. Looking in the phone book for numbers can take too much time. She said every babysitter should carry one with her. She said it was also a good thing to have at home.
 
4     The teacher told Katie's class that an emergency aid is a list of telephone numbers. These are numbers you might need when there is trouble such as a serious injury, sickness, or fire.
