About the Story
It is a hot day, and a fly is looking for a cooler place to rest.
The fly follows Dad into the house and lands on a mug, a dish, and Ken’s plum. Mom, Dad, and Ken try to make the fly leave, but it keeps buzzing from one spot to the next.
When the family decides to go for a swim, the fly spins and speeds back outside. At last, everyone is glad the fly is out.
