A solution to a problem isn't always a complete $\underline{\text{{success}}}$. At one high school in California, many students left the $\underline{\text{{campus}}}$ during school hours. To discourage the practice, administrators installed a $\underline{\text{{gate}}}$ in the student parking lot.

After several cars passed through the gate, a girl jumped out and handed the $\underline{\text{{principal}}}$ her keys. "Great!" she said. "We finally have valet parking."
