A HOT SUMMER DAY

written by Debbie Williamson

“Misty,” said Fluffy. “I think we should go to the park today. It is a hot summer day.”

“Really,” said Misty, a little confused. “I thought you didn’t want to go to the park today.”

Misty had asked Fluffy earlier that day to go the park but Fluffy said she definitely didn’t want to go. Fluffy told her it was too hot to go to the park.

“Well,” said Fluffy. “It is too hot inside the house and I was thinking that it might be cooler at the park, under those big maple trees.”

“Yes,” said Misty. “It should be nice and cool at the park, especially underneath those big trees.”

“Well,” said Fluffy. “Let’s go!”

“Hey Fluffy,” said Misty, as they were just about to open the front door. ”We should have a picnic lunch at the park!”

“What a great idea!” exclaimed Fluffy.

Both Fluffy and Misty went into the kitchen. Fluffy grabbed a can of cat food out of the cupboard and Misty grabbed a small plastic bowl, filled it up with water and put a lid on it.

“Wait,” said Fluffy as they were almost out the door again. “We need a can opener

for our cat food.”

“I’ll get one,” said Misty.

Misty went to the kitchen to get the can opener. She heard a loud bang of thunder and then saw a big bolt of lightning and then it started to pour.

“Well,” said Misty to Fluffy with a can opener in her paw. “So much for going to the park.”

“So much for going on a picnic on a hot summer day,” said Fluffy.

“Just a minute,” said Misty, racing up the stairs as fast as she could go.

A few minutes later, Misty came down the stairs, with her favourite blanket.

“We can have our picnic right here,” said Misty, laying the blanket down on the floor in the hallway.

Misty sat down on one edge of the blanket.

“What a wonderful idea!” exclaimed Fluffy, sitting down right beside Misty on the blanket.

Misty opened the can of cat food while Fluffy poured some water for them.
