A Walk With My Sister

Abstract

Introduction:  My sister Sarah and I are just waking up one morning when Mom comes into our room and opens the window.  "Get your clothes on, you two," she says.  "It is a beautiful day, and we're going on a walk."  I'm too tired to go for a walk.  I look over at Sarah, and I can tell she does not want to go either.  "But mom," Sarah pleads, "every day is a beautiful day . . . and, besides, it's going to be just as beautiful INSIDE as it will be OUTSIDE."
