Read the story.

Before the Greens go out to dinner, they look at their new home. It’s a pretty two-story house. It has a lot of windows, two bedrooms, and a master bedroom. The kitchen, living room, family room, and dining room are very nice. There are three bathrooms. One is in the master bedroom, one is in the hall upstairs, and there is a guest bathroom downstairs. There is a porch in the front, but there isn’t a garage. Mom and Dad look at the garden, and they see it needs grass and flowers. They like the outside paint; the color is great. Inside, Molly and Steven sit beside the fireplace, talking about how exciting it is to have a new place to live and all the fun times they will have. Dad comes inside and says that it is time to go eat.

Read the story.

As they drive down the main avenue, they see a lot of interesting places, tall buildings, and small buildings. There is a bookstore and a theater. There is a beautiful park full of trees. There is a big school, a university far away on a hill, and a train station. There are a lot of people walking on the street. The Green family drives past a restaurant. When they see the restaurant, everyone argues about what they want for dinner. Steven says that they had eggs and bacon for breakfast, and now he would like spaghetti or pizza. Molly says that they had pasta for lunch, and now she wants fried chicken or hamburgers. Mom says she wants Chinese food. Dad stops at a traffic light and tells his family not to argue about what to eat. He thinks for a moment and tries to find a way to make everyone happy. At a corner, he asks a man for directions to a buffet restaurant.
