Run and Play

Lisa returns home. She cannot believe her eyes! Her kids, Ami and Ben are in the room. They run around the big and expensive table and shout. This game is liked by them very much.

Lisa stands and looks at them. This is what she sees and hears.

Ben is asked to wait by Ami, but he does not wait. He continues to run. So Ami’s request is changed. Ben is asked to help by Ami. Ben stops, Ami is helped by Ben. (Lisa is impressed!)

Now Lisa is invited to join them."Yes, mummy! Come and join us!" Ami and Ben shout.

So Amy and Ben are joined by Lisa. They run and play. This game is enjoyed by them very much. Ami kisses Ben. Ben kisses Ami. Then Lisa is kissed by Ben and Ami.

Now Lisa wants to rest, but there are many things on her bed. The things are moved by the kids. A blanket is needed and Lisa receives it. She now sleeps in her bed. Lisa and Ben are at home, so they are protected.

But wait! What is this noise? Oh no, the big and expensive table is smashed! Well, the table was not so protected . . .
