One day in the hot summer days, there was a chubby girl named Bony, her brother Biggy and their dog Furry. They loved playing in the water sprinkles and enjoyed sitting on the outside bench to watch the colourful green grass and flowers.
As they sat on the bench, Bony asked her brother Biggy; "what can we play today?"

2

Biggy stood up thinking.
He said; "How about we play a ball game?"

3

Bony smiled and thought it was a good idea. With excitement, she agreed and asked her brother how the ball game is played.

4

Biggy explained that they pass the ball to each other and if you miss it, you stand in the water sprinkles until the other person counts one, two, three, four and five.

5

Then they started playing the game.
Furry ran up and down as they passed the ball to each other, but Bony kept on missing the ball.

6

She began to show an unhappy face and did not want to play anymore.
Biggy, looked at her sister and said: "it was just a game, do not be sad." Biggy did not like seeing his sister unhappy.
He then suggested that how about they have ice-cream instead.

7

Bony agreed with a smile.
They scooped some ice-cream for themselves and Furry, and happily enjoyed licking it. Every one smiled again.
