A friend of ours came to visit. She had two
little girls. Susan was five, and Tiffany was three.
I enjoyed these two children. They were both cute
and smart. But the things I enjoyed the most were
that Susan talked like an adult, and she was a

had probably read every children's book we had at
our house during her visits. Why that was fun was
because she didn't always understand everything
she read, and her interpretation sometimes made

Donna, the two little girls came out to swing on our
swing set. I was working on a shed roof nearby, so
Donna asked me if I could keep an eye on them.

her endlessly on a swing. But then they heard
something, and they stopped to find out what it
was.
Our cow, Leah, had seen the two girls.
Always one to want to make friends and desiring to
