Kiana and Sameer illustration


You're walking too fast moaned Kiana.

You will just have to keep up said Sameer or we will be late for school.

My legs are too tired. I need a piggy back said Kiana.

I can't give you a piggy back all the way to school said Sameer because you're too heavy.

Kate sat down on the pavement and said Well I'm not going to school then.

You have to said Sameer.

No I don't. I'm just going to sit here all day said Kiana.

Sameer sighed with frustration and said I'll carry your school bag for you then.

Thanks said Kiana as she handed over her school bag. You're the best!
