A cat is meowing. An empty food bowl is next to the water bowl. A man is driving to the pet store.

A half eaten cake is on the counter covered in foil. A helium balloon hovers near the ground. Wrapping paper is in the trash.

Sophia hears a loud boom. The crowd is wearing red, white, and blue. The Star Spangled Banner is playing.

Miss Watson speeds down the street. She hurries to each stop light. She stares at the clock in her car.

Jeremy looks in the cupboard. He grabs an empty container of potato chips. He gets a sad look on his face.

Olivia changes her shoes. She looks at shelves marked 8, 9, and 10 pounds. She throws the ball towards the middle arrow on the floor.

Everyone sits in padded seats. They stare at a big screen. They eat popcorn, candy, and drink soda.

James is picked up from school before dark. He looks at the number 24 on his helmet and his jersey. He gets ice for his leg when he gets home.

It’s a hot summer day. Brandon holds a $10 bill in his hand and waits in line. The teenager pours a sweet syrup over the crushed ice and hands it to him.

Red, yellow, and orange leaves cover the front lawn. The table is set with the best dishes. The smell of turkey fills the house.

Sweat pours off of Jakes’s forehead. He grabs a Gatorade. His house’s grass is now very short.

Ms. Ramirez yawns as she walks to the table. She walks very slow. She rubs her eyes.
