Market Day
It was a warm summer morning. Dorothy was sitting out on the front porch, gently rocking back and forth in Aunt Em's rocking chair. Toto, her little dog, lay sleepily at her feet. Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were hustling and bustling inside the house, getting ready to go to market. "Oh, Dorothy ..." called Aunt Em. No answer. "Dorothy, do you hear me?" Still no answer. Aunt Em marched out on the porch. Toto, sensing trouble, scampered off, while Dorothy -- hearing Aunt Em's heavy footsteps, turned to see what the commotion was. Needless to say, Aunt Em did not look too pleased. She stood in front of Dorothy with her hands firmly planted on her hips. "What is the matter with you, child? Didn't you hear me calling?"
"I'm sorry, Auntie Em."
"Were you sleeping?"
"Oh no, I wasn't asleep, Auntie. But ... well I was kind of thinking about things, and ... well ..."
Just then, Uncle Henry appeared. He was struggling with his collar.
"Would you help me with this, Em?" he asked.
"Just a minute, Henry," his wife answered.
She spoke sharply to the girl. "I'm afraid I don't understand you these days."
Dorothy looked up at her aunt with her big brown eyes. A hint of a tear appeared.
"I've tried to explain to you, Auntie."
Aunt Em just shook her head. "Now, I don't want to hear any more of your tall tales, Dorothy. Not right now."
