Play Time with Francis by Maria Fowler

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Francis. She woke up on a Sunday morning and jumped out of bed. Happily she ran down the stairs. Francis was going to church. After a yummy breakfast she jumped in the car to go to church. But when she was finished with church, Francis was sad. Mama said to Francis, "do you want to do something that will cheer you up?" "Yes, but what may I do?" replied Francis to Mama. "Do you want to go to the park?" "Okay," said Francis. "Do you want to walk or drive there?" asked Mama. "Drive," pleaded Francis. "Let's go then."

Mama and Francis went into the car and it was very quick to get there. Once Francis arrived at the park she was bored. Just then there was someone who asked if they could play together. And Francis happily replied, "Yes!"

The first ride they went on was the swing, next was the slide. Then they shared a little picnic and went home. That night when Francis went to bed, she said her prayers. "Thank you Lord for this wonderful day. I had fun. Thank you for everyone around me. Amen."
