There is a new water park in town. We go there on the first day of summer. It has pools and water
slides. There are sprinklers too. The slides are scary at first. After the first ride, we love the water
slides. The sprinklers are cool on hot days. One of the pools makes its own waves. All the kids try to
surf the waves. It is really fun. The water park can be very crowded. There are many kids and adults,
but they do not allow pets. We really like the ice cream at the snack bar. They also sell pop and
donuts. We all love the new water park.
John is going to a baseball game with his aunt. He can’t wait to get there. It is the first game of the
season. The stadium is almost full. He loves to watch baseball, but his favorite part of going to games
is eating the snacks. There are many different snacks at baseball games. A man in a red hat walks up
and down the aisles selling peanut and popcorn. Guess which is John’s favorite. John likes them both.
He especially likes mixing peanuts and popcorn together. If he is really hungry, he will have a hot dog.
PLAYGROUND
We are going to the playground. First, I swing on the swings. Then, I take two turns at the slide. We
climb on the new climbing wall. My friends and I play hide and seek. We build a sand castle in the
sandbox. I drink water from the water fountain. Time to go home.
CATS
These are my cats. I have three in total. The one on the table is Max. He likes to lick his fur. On the
sofa, we have Pam. She loves to be scratched on her tummy. Finally, on the ground, we have Garfield.
He has ginger fur and likes being left alone. He will not play with the others unless I am playing with
them. He is walking towards us. I hope he plays with Pam!
It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in
peace. Now on his way home, he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he
looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with
another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So, he made a snap at the shadow in
the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never
seen more.
