A drive to the country
On a peaceful Sunday afternoon, Noah’s family headed for the country.
They _eagerly_ climbed in the car right after lunch. As dad drove _slowly_
down the road, the kids looked through the windows at the passing
landscape. Soon, rows of houses gave way to larger fields of hay. There
were even horses walking _lazily_ in the fields. Cara asked if they could
stop to pet them. Dad _laughingly_ said “No!”, but mom knew the farmer
and told dad to stop. The children _joyfully_ got out of the car and followed
their mother. The farmer gave them permission to go see the horses. The
children _carefully_ walked toward the beautiful animals, mindful not to
scare them away. An older horse approach _timidly_ and smelled the top
on Noah’s head. Mom offered him a carrot and the horse neighed
_loudly_. It started chewing on the carrot, allowing the children to pet it
_gently_. Their country adventure made them _late_ for dinner that day.
