Emma and the Hot Day

One Story A Day

Emma and the Hot Day It was a very hot summer day. Emma was hot, but Grandma was hotter. Grandma sat on the cool porch, waving her fan. But she was no cooler. Emma ran to the kitchen and climbed up to the sink. She turned on the faucet. The water was cold. Emma filled a big glass with water. She climbed down and got ice from the freezer. “ Plop! Plop! ” The ice dropped into the glass. Now, the water was even colder!

Emma took the glass to Grandma, but the cat ran between her legs. Down fell Emma! Away ran the cat! Up flew the glass! And the water landed all over Grandma. Emma cried. She had wanted to help, but now, Grandma was all wet! Grandma smiled. “ Well, that certainly cooled me down! Don't worry Emma, the sun will dry me! "
