A DAY BY THE SEA
Ryan James is eight years old. He lives in Oxford, in England. It is Saturday and Ryan is by the sea with his father, sister, and dog, Rufus. It is a warm and sunny day so the children and Rufus swim in the cool water. Their father catches fish. At lunch time, they eat sandwiches and fruit and drink water. At four o’clock, they walk to their car and drive home. What a lovely day!
