It was a hot sunnyday. After lunch, Mom and Pablo wanted a treat. A cool, sweet yogurt cone would be just right. The Yogurt Parlor was only a couple of blocks from home. So Mom and Pablo decided to walk there.

Joe, the store owner, smiled at them. He said, "What flavor would you like?" Pablo looked a the long list of flavors. There were more than a dozen. Mom chose Suzanna Banana. Pablo had a hard time deciding. Very Strawberry sounded good. So did Great Grape. Finally Pablo chose Vanilla Gorilla because of its funny name .

"Hey, Mom, want to see what a gorilla does?" said Pablo. Mom was enjoying her cone. "Hmmm?" she said. Pablo made a "HOO! HOO! HOO!" noise like a gorilla. He reache ddown to scratch his armpits.

Whoops! Pablo's frozen yogurt fell SPLATon the table. It slid across the tabletop. Then it plopped onto the cushion right next to Mom.
