Coloring page included in PDF
Pam went to the beach. She had a neat mat and a book. Pam hoped to read her book. The hot sun gave off much heat. Pam felt too hot to eat her cream and meat. She had a big dream to make some shade.
She tried to reach a big green leaf. It was too small. “I can not beat the sun,” Pam said. Ben came by. He saw Pam look bad. He ran to his bag. Ben took out a big cloth. He stood the cloth up. Now they had a good seat. “We can nap here,” Ben said. Pam had a good dream.
