The Unbelievable Trip to the Store

Tommy and Samantha were twins. They were both twelve years old.

Mom wanted the children to go to the store to buy milk for dinner.

On the way to the store, the children saw a man driving a car with an elephant on top! They had never seen anything like that before.

They finally reached the store. When they walked to the door, they noticed there was a monkey in front of the door. Tommy and Samantha were very surprised.

They bought the milk and started their trip home. Suddenly a large object appeared in the sky. It was a frog riding on top of a bird.

When they turned the handle to go into their house Tommy turned to Samantha. He said, “Can you believe all the strange things we have seen on our walk?”

Samantha replied, “No, it was unbelievable!”
