A young boy and his father were coming home from a day at the farm. Suddenly,
their car started making some strange noise, and they had to stop. The father
parked the car in the muddy car park and got out. The boy was scared, but his
father told him everything would be okay. The father opened the hood of the car
when it started raining. Luckily, they had an umbrella in the car, so he took it and
worked hard to solve the problem. The boy calmed down and enjoyed looking at the
stars. After a few minutes, he heard his father say: "Son, the car is fixed! Let’s go. It
is getting late, but we're still far from home. Mother will be worried."
Don’t blink!

Laura was a girl who didn't like going to school. She enjoyed learning about life
and playing with her friends instead. They would climb trees, pick apples, run
in the valley, and watch the beautiful animals. They would feel really happy
until the bell rang. The sound of the bell meant they had to go back inside, sit
at their desks and look at the board. It was much colder in the classroom than
it was in the valley. Still, this time was different because this was their last day
of school! Summer break was starting, and they were going to have many
wonderful days to spend playing in all of their favorite places!

later. Yesterday, Matthew met his nephew again. This time, his nephew was
bigger and Matthew spent a few hours playing with him. He gave his uncle a
million kisses. In the evening, Matthew taught his nephew how to ride his bike.
