(karen is sitting alone in her bedroom looking very upset. her friends lisa and kate enter her room and find karen sitting quietly on her bed.)

lisa: boy, you look unhappy today, karen. what’s the matter?

karen: i'm in a fix! a few days ago i borrowed my mother's gold chain for a party, and now i can't seem to find the chain anywhere. what should i do?

kate: are you sure it's lost?

karen: yes, of course i'm sure. i've looked everywhere for it. i've turned my bedroom upside down looking for it. i'm afraid to tell my mom what happened.

lisa: you really are in trouble, aren't you? your mother will be furious. it must have been a precious and expensive chain, and you carelessly lost it.

(this upsets karen even more.)

karen: i don’t want to upset her, but i’m completely at a loss on how to fix this situation. i'm so mad at myself for losing it. i’m usually careful about such things.

lisa: maybe you didn't lose it after all. maybe it was stolen.

karen: who would steal it?

lisa: you never know. there are a lot of bad people out there. if you were distracted, someone may have slipped it away without you even realizing.

karen: oh, this is a disaster! what am i going to do?

lisa: kate, you’ve been awfully quiet. why don't you karen out?

kate: i think the best solution in this case is to calm down and think carefully before jumping to conclusions.

lisa: but didn't you hear her? she's lost her mother's chain. this is a pretty big problem.

kate: it’ll only be a big problem when she is sure of exactly what happened. right now all you’re doing is giving her ideas about how she could have misplaced the chain. this isn't the solution. karen, i think you should tell your mom what happened right away.

karen: all right, might as well deal with the situation.

(the three girls head to karen's mother’s room. her mom is sitting on the bed reading a magazine. she looks up as the three enter the room.)

mother: hi, girls.

karen: mom, i wanted to talk to you about the chain.

mother: what chain?

karen: the one i had borrowed a couple of days ago. i'm afraid i've lost it.

mother: (giving karen a puzzled look) but karen, i took the chain back yesterday because i needed it.

(the three girls look at each other in surprise.)

mother: i'm sorry for not letting you know. i'm surprised that you thought you lost it. you should have asked me about it sooner. you looked absolutely tense when you entered the room.

karen: oh, mom, i'm so sorry! i feel so relieved now. i'm glad that i listened to kate and asked you about it.

(the three girls head back to karen's room with smiles on their faces.)
