A Sweet Treat
by Alicia Skelton
 Kayla, Darla, and Sue opened the door and walked inside. They all giggled as they ran up to the counter. “What flavor are you going to get?” Kayla asked Darla.
 Sue asked the teenager behind the counter if she could try some chocolate. He took a little spoonful and gave it to Sue. She tasted it and smiled. Sue knew what flavor of ice cream she was going to get.
 Darla said, “I am going to get one scoop of strawberry on a cone please.” The teenager took a large scoop and dropped it on a cone. Darla took the cone from him and started licking the ice cream off the sides.
 Kayla ordered a scoop of bubblegum ice cream in a cup. The three girls sat down at a table and ate their ice cream. It was the perfect treat to eat since it was very hot outside. What time of year does this story most likely take place?
