I heard laughter. I walked toward the sound.
A boy held up a red ball. His eyes sparkled.
He offered me the ball. I reached out and touched it.
I gave it a little push. It bounced once!
The ball rolled toward the rug. He giggled and picked it up.
I tried again. I pushed harder this time.
The ball hit the curtain and bounced back into my hands!
I threw the ball high. We both fell onto the soft cushions and laughed together.
