A Game at the Park
View passage image
It was a sunny day. Bryan, Scott, Mike, and Darrell made plans to meet in the city park.
They met at three o'clock. Each boy was carrying a ball.
“I wanted to play basketball, so I brought a basketball,” Bryan explained.
“I thought maybe we could play football, so I brought a football,” Scott said.
“Well, I wanted to play kickball, so I brought a kickball,” Mike said.
“I don’t like any of those games!” Darrell exclaimed. “I only like soccer. I brought a soccer ball.”
“So we can’t agree on any of these games?” Bryan asked. All the boys looked at each other. No one said anything. “Well, if we can’t agree on a sport, what are we going to do now?”
Suddenly, a Frisbee landed nearby. A girl came running up to get it.
“Hi,” the girl said. “A bunch of my friends and I are playing Frisbee. Do you guys want to play with us?”
The boys looked at each other again and smiled. “That sounds good to me!” Scott said.
