Robert and Mike

Robert and his friend, Mike, went to the amusement park for the day. It was Mike’s birthday, and his mom promised him a day at the amusement park with a friend. The boys were so excited. The Ferris wheel was Robert’s favourite. He liked to be high up.

The boys were hungry so Mike’s mom gave them tickets to get cotton candy, hot dogs, and some popcorn. While getting the food, Mike saw a boy about his age standing at the Ferris wheel. He just stood there and stared. “I wonder why he doesn’t go?” asked Robert. The boy was wearing a shirt and jeans. His hair was messy. After the boys finished their food, they walked over to Mike’s mom and told her about the boy. “Can we do something to help him?” asked Mike. “What do you want to do?” his mom asked. “Let’s give him the extra tickets we have, and we can give him a ticket for a hot dog.” Mike and Robert went over to the boy and said they had some extra tickets, and he could have them. The boy gave them the biggest smile and said, “Thanks that would be great!” “We have some extra food tickets too.” “Wow, I would really like a hot dog,” said the boy. He said his name was Chris “I just watch everyone else and wish I could have enough money.” he said. “Thank you very much for the tickets and the hot dog.” Chris said. “It was nice to meet you Chris.” the boys said. It was a long day so they said goodbye to Chris and left. Mike’s mom told the boys what they did for Chris was very special. “You both brightened a boy’s day. I’m proud of you both.”
