Let’s find out how a boy spent his summer in this story.

A Happy Summer Day

One Sunday afternoon last summer, a boy named Bobby and his family went to th
nearby park. When they got there, Bobby saw his friends and walked over to them.

Bobby and his friends played tag and hopscotch. They also took turns going on th
swings and playing in the sandbox. Some girls jumped rope, and some boys had races. The
were happily sharing what they did yesterday, and they were all having such a great tim
together.

After a while, Bobby wanted to go and be with his Mommy and Daddy. But becaus
he was playing with other children, Bobby did not notice that he was a long way from th
park. He looked around but couldn’t see his parents. He got lost. So he started crying.

A police officer saw him crying. So he ran, rushing over to find out why he wa
crying. He asked the little boy, "Why are you crying?" So Bobby answered, "My name i
Bobby. And my mommy and daddy are lost!" "I do not know where to find them, Sir.”

"Can you please help me find them now?" He added so the policeman replied, "Sur
Bobby, let us go to the bus stop. That would be a good place to wait for them. They will see u
there." So they went to the bus stop and waited patiently there.

After a few minutes, the parents of Bobby got to the bus stop. Bobby ran towards hi
parents and gave them a big hug. The policeman said to Bobby, "See, Bobby, I told you the
would find us here." Bobby smiled and said to the policeman, "Thank you for your help, Sir."

Bobby’s mommy and daddy thanked the police officer. Then they took Bobby's han
and went home. When they got back to their house, Bobby told his mom and dad wha
happened, and he said, while smiling, "I will never go away from you, but this was a happ
summer day."
