The Water's Fine
Paolo walked out on the dock and looked down into the water. "I only like to swim in pools. I'm not swimming in there," he said.
"Well, I'm going to," his mom said. "There's not much else to do here!"
Paolo's little sister, Celia, was standing next to him. "If Paulo's not going in, I'm not swimming in there either," Celia said.
Paolo's mom looked at Paolo with a raised eyebrow. "That's fine," she said. "You two don't have to swim. But remember, there's no internet here and no TV."
Paolo marched back to the cabin and sat in a lawn chair. He crossed his arms and frowned. This is going to be an awful vacation, he thought. No Wi-Fi, nothing to do.
Celia followed him, sitting in a chair and crossing her arms, too. "I'm bored!" Celia said.
Meanwhile, their mom had gone into the cabin to change. Soon she emerged, carrying an armful of goggles and towels. "I'm going for a dip.
Are you sure you don't want to go?" she asked.
Celia glanced at Paulo.
"I'm sure," said Paolo.
"No way!" added Celia.
Paolo sat in the chair and stared across the lake. Celia did too, but soon she grew restless. She got up, walked up and down the dock, and finally sat down, watching her mom.
Seeing this, Paolo felt bad. He went inside and put on his bathing suit. Then he walked out to the dock where Celia was sitting. When their mom swam up to them, Paolo apologized. "I'll swim with you, Mom. I'm sorry I was crabby. The water actually looks nice," he said.
Celia looked at Paolo. Then she ran to the cabin to change into her swimsuit, too.

Tryouts
Kayla tried to ignore her sore throat and stuffy nose. She was trying out for the soccer team, and Coach Markham would pick only the twenty best players.
Kayla sipped from her water bottle while she waited to do practice drills. She sneezed, and then Coach Markham signaled her to start. First, Kayla had to run across the field as fast as she could. She took off, but her stuffy nose made it hard to breathe. When she reached the end of the field, she felt dizzy and her head was swimming a little. She hoped the coach hadn't noticed.
Next, she and another girl had to compete for control of the soccer ball. The other girl quickly stole the ball from Kayla. Kayla was surprised. She was usually good at this. For the first time, she worried that she might not make the team.
Kayla struggled through the other drills, too. At the end of the tryout, she felt terrible and left as soon as she could.
A few days later, Kayla had recovered from her cold. She was still worried about her performance at the tryout, but maybe it wasn't too late to do something about it.
Kayla went to see Coach Markham. She explained that she hadn't done her best because of her cold. Coach Markham listened patiently and agreed to let Kayla join the team for the first practice.
That was all Kayla wanted. She knew she would be a valuable member of the team. She just needed a chance to prove it.
