Misty Needs Help

“Jake! Jake!” called Midge as she came running through the gate and leaped onto the porch.

“Slow down Midge,” said Jake. “What is the big hurry this morning?”

“Come quick Jake!” said Midge. “Misty needs help.”

“What happened?” asked Jake as he leaped down from the porch swing.

Midge and the New Friend

“Hey Jake!” called Midge as she strolled through the front gate into the yard. “What are you doing?”

“Hi Midge,” said Jake as he sat up and walked to the porch edge. “I was napping.”

“Jake, you are always napping,” laughed Midge.

“I know and in the hot weather I nap even more,” said Jake. “It is too hot to do anything else and the hot air makes me sleepy.”
