Chapter 2: On the Road

"Anybody want a snack?" Jeff asked. "I do," said Sarah. "What do you want?" Jeff asked. "Two oreos," said Sarah. "Do you want your water too?" Jeff asked.
"Yes, Jeff," Sarah replied. "Is Sally okay?" Mother asked. "She's sound asleep," Tim replied.

"Here's your oreos, Sarah" Jeff said. "You forgot my water Jeff." "Oh, sorry," Jeff said. "It's okay," Sarah replied. "Wow, look at that huge American flag!" Tim said. "That flag is as big as a bus," Tara said. "Yes it is," Mother agreed. "Betsy Ross designed the first American flag," Mother told them. "That was back in the 1700s." They were silent for a few moments.

Sarah sighed as she opened her notebook to draw. "What are you drawing?" Tim asked. "I am drawing a picture of a horse with me on it." "That's pretty good so far," Mother commented. "Thanks Mother," Sarah replied as she continued to draw. Sarah's dream was to have a horse. They had a place for a horse and everything but they hadn't found the right one yet. Sarah sighed again as she longed for a horse.

"Sarah," Mother said as she shook her shoulder gently. "Wake up, it's time to go the therpists building." "Yes ma'am," Sarah answered groggily. Sarah got out of the van and then stared in awe at the huge building before them. "Which one are we going in, Mother?" Sally asked with her eyes fixed on the buildings. "The one on the far left," answered Mother. "Which one?" Sally asked. "The one over there," Mother pointed. "Let's get going," Father said as they headed toward the building.
