One warm spring day, Mrs. Baker went to the park near her house. She sat down on a park bench and started to read a letter from her daughter, Karen. Karen and her husband, John and their tưo children, Ken and Kathy, were on Florida on vacation for two weeks, Karen said that they were having a wonderful time, and she sent some postcards in the letters. The postcards showed pictures of Florida.

Mrs. Baker smiled as she read the letter again. She was happy that they were having a good time. While she was reading, a man came and sat down at the other end of the bench. He opened his newspaper and began to read.

Suddenly the postcards blew out of Mrs. Baker’s hand and fell on the ground. They started to blow away. Mr. Marks quickly reached down and helped Mrs. Baker pick them up.
