especially loves riding Bella with her friend Sally. Usually on
Sundays she spends the whole day on Sally’s farm, and those are the

and her mother has told her she cannot go out riding this time. So
she is sitting by her window and seems to be wishing for the rain to
stop. (122 words)

This is a picture of a young lady who has discovered that her

noticed that he wasn’t breathing. At first she could not believe it and
tried to shake him awake, but then realized that he was indeed dead.

so much time at the party with her friends. She is thinking about
how to explain to her husband’s parents that their dear son has died.
