Every Friday, Kai carried the class fish tank to the sink to change the water. He liked the job because he was the only one who never spilled.
One Friday, the hallway floor was wet, and Kai felt his shoe slide. He gripped the tank hard and stopped himself against the wall.
Water splashed over his sleeve, but not one drop landed on the floor, and the fish stayed in the tank.
Kai stood still until his heart stopped pounding, then laughed at his soaked sleeve. He decided he would ask for a partner next Friday.
Choose the best answer.
How does Kai feel at the end of the story?
