Key words

On Saturday night Dad said, “Tomorrow we're all going to the park!”

On Sunday morning I got up and looked out: it was raining, and raining hard.

I was so fed up that I sat on my bed and didn't want to do anything.

Dad said, “Never mind, today we'll go to the park at home!”

Mum brought all the flowers in the house and set them on the floor. My brother switched on the lights in the room: “Look, the sun's out!”

Dad sang and “flew” around the room: “I'm a little bird!”

We sat on the floor and ate bread and fruit and drank milk. We even had a nap in the “park”.

At four in the afternoon the rain stopped, and the real sun came out.

Mum asked, “Shall we go to the park?”

I said, “Let's not! Our park has a bird that sings.”

When Dad heard that, he took off again at once.
