Adventures of Aimi
Two weeks later the doorbell rang and Aimi ran to answer it. “We’re here!” said Tad and Toni.
“I hope today is the day we get to meet the real live artist,” said Connor.
“It is,” said Grami, “and you’re right on time. Aimi and I were just getting ready to leave.”
Grami, Toni and Tad, Aimi and Connor got into the car and buckled their seatbelts. Grami started the engine and drove out of the driveway.
Tad and Toni and Aimi and Connor talked and talked while Grami drove and drove. Finally Grami parked the car in front of the big white house. Wide green shutters framed each window. A wide flagstone path led to a wide front porch. On the wide front porch there was a wide front door. A wide metal knocker hung in the middle of the wide front door.
“Go ahead and knock,” said Grami.
Aimi tapped the wide metal knocker against the wide front door. There was no answer. Aimi tapped the wide metal knocker against the wide front door again.
Soon the wide front door opened and DJ, the real live artist stood in the doorway, Solly in his arms.
“Hello,” said DJ. “And who do we have here?”
“This is Tad and this is Toni,” said Aimi. “And here is Connor, their cousin.”
“Hello,” said Tad and Toni. They shook hands with DJ and with Solly.
“Hello,” said Connor. He shook hands with DJ and Solly, too.
