Janet kept trying to get to the right Internet site. The URL that she had written down was http://www.help-me-out.edu/hrcc/macleroy/, but she was unsuccessful every time she tried that site. She just knew that if she went to that site, she'd find the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and she needed those words in ORDER to get extra credit in her music class.

She began humming to herself, “Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” (You finish the story.)
