SISTERS

SISTERS

by David Mc Phail

This is the story of two sisters...

who, in many ways, were different.

One was big.

One was little.

One liked to wear

two different colored socks.

One didn't like to wear socks

(or shoes) at all.

One liked baseball.

The other found it boring.

One's favorite food was pizza.

The other preferred corn on the cob.

(She called it "cob on the corn".)

One sister was crazy about frogs...

...the other wasn't.

One liked to get up with the sun.

The other would sleep all day.

One liked to chase fireflies through

the grass....

while the other liked to lie back and look

at the stars.

The two sisters were alike

in many ways, too.

they both liked horses....

and sugar/snap peas

fresh from the garden.

Both sisters liked to help

bake cookies...

and to play in puddles.

And a pile of leaves was never safe

with those sisters around.

They both liked to draw...

and to skate.

And dancing was something

neither sister could live without.

They fought over the piano...

and made up over tea.

And both felt the day would not be

complete without a swing after supper.

But the way they were most alike

was the most special way of all.

Because, you see,

they loved each other so very much.

I love this little book that I gave to Danielle and Samantha.

A Sister Bond in not easily broken?
