Sarah wanted to go outside to play. “You must wear sun screen and a hat, “Mother would say. She rubbed on lotion and put her pretty hat on her head. “To protect your skin from the sun.” Mother said. Millie, The Silly Straw Hat, sighed “Gee what a great day. I love it when Sarah wears me out to play.” Millie said “Let’s go to the park to play. It is such a beautiful, warm sunny day. “We can play on the slides and swing on the swings. We can play just about anything.” Instead, Sarah jumped on her bike and started down a hill. “Oh dear, oh dear!” thought Millie. “Please, please don’t spill.” Millie was worried Sarah would fall. But Sarah didn’t seem to worry at all. Sarah just flew down the great big hill. Millie hung on to Sarah, with all her will. Millie closed her eyes and hung on real tight. She hung on to Sarah with all her might.

Oh dear!” Was all Millie could say. WAIT!! WAIT!!
