8. Nita's First Camera. # Papa gave Nita a camera. It was a great gift. Nita had fun with it. She put some film in the camera. Cameras must have film to make pictures. Nita had enough film to take ten pictures. Nita looked around. Mama was cleaning the tub. Nita pointed the camera. "Don't take my picture, Nita!" mama said. "I look awful." But Nita took the picture Papa was at the sink. He was washing his face. Nita called, "Hey, papa!" He looked up. There was soap all over his face. Nita took a picture. Juan was asleep in a chair. His mouth was open. He looked funny. So Nita took his picture Cass was on the phone. Her hair was wet. There was a towel around her head. She had cream on her face. Nita grinned. Then she took a picture Nita took six more pictures. She never said, "Smile," or"Get ready." She just surprised people. Nita loved her gift. She couldn't wait to get more film. But her family was worried. Maybe the camera wasn't such a great gift after all.
