The New Car
Charlie and Elijah went with their dad to buy a new car. Together
they chose a car that they all really liked. The roof and sides of the
car were bright red, and the fenders were black. The car had two
bright round headlights above the front bumper.
Their dad decided to order a special license plate that said
DADDY-O. Charlie thought it was embarrassing, but Elijah liked it.
The car’s tires had shiny silver hubcaps, and the hood of the car
was painted silver to match. Before their dad got in the car, he
carefully cleaned the windshield so that he would be able to see
clearly.
When their dad opened the door on the passenger’s side, he had
the boys get in the back seat and helped them buckle up their
seatbelts. Then he got in and put on his seat belt. Before driving
away he carefully checked his side mirror and his rear view
mirror to make sure he could see what was next to him as well as
what was behind him.
Finally, he put his key in the ignition below the steering wheel and
started the car’s engine. He took off the parking brake, pressed
gently on the gas pedal and pulled out of the car lot. As he drove
away, he and the boys sang songs until they got home to show
their mom the new car.
Their mom loved the new car, too. She said that it looked like it
would be a great car for the family to travel in together. They all
started to talk about all the adventures they would have in their
new family car!
