Hooray! Summer is here!

Children don’t have to go to school in the summer.

They can sleep as late as they want!

It's the first morning of the summer vacation and Unnie wants to play.

“Innie, do you want to come to my house to play?” asks Unnie.

“I am busy reading a book, Unnie,” says Innie.

That afternoon Unnie is still playing.

“Hey Innie, come and play with me!” calls Unnie.

“I told you, Unnie! I am busy reading

a book!” says Innie.

The sun is about to set and Unnie is getting tired of playing alone.

“Come to my house, Innie! I have so manytoys!” he says.

“I AM BUSY READING A BOOK, UNNIE!”

Unnie is frustrated. “What’s so interesting about that book?”

“I must find out!”

Unnie goes to the tree where Innie is reading.

“What's in that book?" asks Unnie.

“I’m rescuing the princess,” Innie tells him.

“Really? Where?” says Unnie excitedly.

“Show me!”

Now, Unnie and Innie are battling the monsters together.

Finally, they rescue the princess!

For the rest of the summer,

Unnie usually comes

to Innie’s house…

…andthey both read books together.
