Read Story #2 Tuesday - Thursday picture remember room stood thought Five kids and a mom are spending a happy day at the seashore. After a lunchtime meal they rest in the shade and daydream. Carl dreams in his head, “I’m pitching in a baseball game. My teammates and I are winning 10-0!” Eve dreams, “I’m flying in my own homemade plane. It skims above the treetops.” Rick dreams, “I’m backstage waiting for my turn to go on. I take a deep breath and it’s showtime!” Libby dreams, “I’m drifting on a sailboat. I can see starfish and stingrays!” Ray dreams, “I’m on a spaceship meant to go to Mars. I hope I don’t get lost!” At sunset Mom tells the kids, “It’s time to go home.” But the kids will keep their seaside daydreams. Clues for Sue Dad knows a game for Sue. The goal is to find a few clues that Dad wrote. Dad shows Sue her first clue. “The first clue is by that fruit,” said Dad. “It is in that bright blue pot.” Sue reads her first clue. “Take six steps to Dad’s desk. Touch the pad to see the next clue.” Sue reads her new clue. “Look for the trail up the steps.” Sue runs to the steps. She laughs. The trail is made of Dad’s knitted socks. Sue spots the clue by Dad’s bed. “Find Dad’s new blue coat.” Sue reads her last clue. “He likes to bark, run, roam, and chew on knots. He will grow big!” Dad hugged Sue. “I knew this pup was right for Sue.” Sue’s arms were like a wreath around that pup!
