Part 1 - Morning Rush
The alarm clock rings loudly at 6:30 AM, signaling the start of a busy day for the Miller family. Leo is the first to get up. He stretches his arms, puts on his slippers, and quietly goes to the kitchen. He prepares coffee and puts bread in the toaster. A few minutes later, his wife, Maria, wakes up and goes to the bathroom to get ready for her job. The two children, Lucas and Sofia, are a little slow, but they finally get out of bed at 7:00. They brush their teeth and eat breakfast quickly. By 7:45 AM, the family is out the door and on their way to school and work. It is a busy but fun start to their day.
