A FAR AWAY PLACE

- Sean was looking in the school grounds for his little sister Josie, so that they can go home together. School was over. Sean looked everywhere but he could not find Josie. The other first graders were around Sean showing off their paintings. He started getting very worried, wondering where Josie might be , but that was when he heard the car horn. Someone was waving from inside a black car parked further up the street. He went a bit closer to the car and he saw his sister hanging out of the window waving and calling.

How did she do that? She should never have got into the car. She knew the rules: Their mum was always telling her kids not to talk to strangers.

( Connection) This reminds me of when I was all alone at home, my dad was at work and my mum had to go see my grandmother who was sick. But I heard the bell ring, so I saw who it was. It was my mum's friend Mr. Tameriese. He wanted to leave some things for us, but I said to myself. " Should I let him in? Or not. But I knew the rules of the house. Do not speak or open doors to strangers. Besides I didn't know who it was, so I asked who it was. I was thinking, was he a thief? Should I open? Then I finally said to him " Please leave them on my dad's motorcycle. " So he did. When he left I quickly rushed downstairs, got the things that he left for us and then I went upstairs to put'em on the kitchen counter.

DO NOT TALK TO STRANGERS!!!!
