Rent a Llama

When Marcos slept, he dreamed. He dreamed of Ecuador. He dreamed of riding among sheep and llamas.

When Marcos woke, he worried. Life was so different in America. Would it ever feel like home?

Marcos's mother worried, too. She wanted him to be happy. " Marcos, today is your class trip to a ranch, " she said one morning.

Marcos said, “ We used to live on a ranch, Mamá. " “ An American ranch will be different, " she said. " Yes, just like everything else here, " Marcos sighed.

When Marcos got to school, he saw students excited about the trip. Mr. Perkins chose seat partners for the bus ride. Marcos sat with a boy named Ben.
