It was a sunny day. Little Jack was full of joy as he ran around in the garden. He felt the warm sun on his face, and the light breeze against his skin. He wanted to stay outside forever, but his mom called him in for dinner.
"Come in now, Jack." She smiled.
Jack sighed, but he followed his mom inside. He was sad to leave the sun and the garden, but he put on a brave face. He knew that dinner was a part of his nightly routine. 
Soon, Jack was sitting at the dinner table. His mom put down a heavy plate in front of him. She had made one of Jack's favorite meals - pancakes. Jack beamed, his sadness forgotten. 
Little did Jack know, his mom had a surprise planned for him. After dinner, she opened the back door and let Jack return to the garden. Jack let out a sigh of relief; his day was not over yet. He ran off to explore the garden in the late afternoon sun with a heavy heart, full of joy.
