Reading Text

Luke woke up early on Saturday. He put on his left shoe, but he could not find his right one. He looked everywhere. Finally, he saw it under his heavy book. He had to pull the book away to get it. After breakfast, Luke walked to the local park. The park had a beautiful swimming pool. The pool was full of clean, blue water. Many children were already swimming and laughing. Luke stood near the edge and watched them. He wanted to jump in, but he forgot his swimsuit at home. Instead, he sat under a big tree and opened his book to read a story. It was a wonderful and relaxing morning in the sun.
