Excerpt from The Book: "Sam and the Ball"

Dad has a special ball. A ball that he got from Grandpa. Sam wanted to play with the ball. Sam went outside with it.Sam kicked the ball as hard as he could. The ball hit straight into a window, Oh no! The window cracked. Dad was so mad."I am so sorry," said Sam. "I promise not to do it again. Please forgive me." Dad accepted Sam's apology."Next time, if you're going to play with the ball- do not play in front of the house," said Dad. "Now come on to help me clean the mess." They clean up together. Now Sam is playing only in the playground.
