Saturday is swimming day

by Hyewon Yum

Swimming lessons are on Saturdays, and every Saturday one little girl has a stomachache. When she gets to the pool it s loud, the floor is wet and slippery, and her swim cap is too tight. Her swimming instructor, Mary, says it s OK to sit by the edge if she doesn t want to get in the water this week.
