Angela, Private Citizen — Nancy K. Robinson

Angela just wants to be a good citizen, but everything is going wrong!

Angela tries her best. When she hears that the government is in debt, she decides to help by paying taxes. She proudly mails her life savings of $4.53 along with her sticker-decorated official tax form. How could she have known it was the only tax form in the house -- and her parents needed it?
