Tom and Lily are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the park to play. Tom is happy, but Lily is not. She hates the park. She hates the swings, the slides, and the sand. She wants to stay home and watch TV.
"Look, Lily, there is a big billboard with a picture of a clown!" Mom says, pointing out the window. "Do you like clowns?"
Lily shakes her head. She hates clowns too. They are scary and loud. She does not want to see them.
"I like clowns!" Tom says. "They make funny faces and jokes. They are fun!"
Lily does not answer. She looks away from the billboard. She sees a clear sky with white clouds. She wishes she could fly away like a bird.
"Are we there yet?" Tom asks. He is excited to get to the park.
"Almost, honey," Dad says. "Just a few more minutes."
Lily sighs. She hopes the park will be closed. She hopes there will be no other kids. She hopes there will be no clowns. She hates the park. She hates everything.
