Flag

Flag It was Saturday. The Drake family was watching their favourite news channel on television. " There's our flag! " Dad said as he pointed to the TV screen. “ If that's our flag, why do those people have it?” asked Stevie. Dad laughed, " That's not quite what I meant. I meant that the flag stands for and represents our country. " “ We have our flag on a pole at school, ” said Chris. “ I wish we had a flag at home, ” said Susie. “ Let's go to the store and buy one, ” said Dad. The whole family went to the store. They looked at big flags, little flags and medium-sized flags. Finally, they bought one that was just right.

Back home, Dad put up a flag pole in the front yard and raised the new flag high in the air. The whole family saluted it. They were all happy to fly the flag of their country.
