 A drive to the country
On a peaceful Sunday afternoon, Noah’s family headed for the country. They eagerly climbed in the car right after lunch. As dad drove slowly down the road, the kids looked through the windows at the passing landscape. Soon, rows of houses gave way to larger fields of hay. There were even horses walking lazily in the fields. Cara asked if they could stop to pet them. Dad laughingly said “No!”, but mom knew the farmer and told dad to stop. The children joyfully got out of the car and followed their mother. The farmer gave them permission to go see the horses. The children carefully walked toward the beautiful animals, mindful not to scare them away. An older horse approach timidly and smelled the top on Noah’s head. Mom offered him a carrot and the horse neighed loudly. It started chewing on the carrot, allowing the children to pet it gently. Their country adventure made them late for dinner that day.
