Mommy! Mommy! Mommy is asleep on the floor. She has been
asleep for a long time. I brush her hair because she likes that. She
doesn’t wake up. I shake her. Mommy! My tummy hurts. It is
hungry. He isn’t here. I am thirsty. In the kitchen I pull a chair to the
sink, and I have a drink. The water splashes over my blue sweater.
Mommy is still asleep. Mommy wake up! She lies still. She is cold.
I fetch my blankie, and I cover Mommy, and I lie down on the
sticky green rug beside her. Mommy is still asleep. I have two toy
cars. They race by the floor where Mommy is sleeping. I think
Mommy is sick. I search for something to eat. In the freezer I find
peas. They are cold. I eat them slowly. They make my tummy hurt.
