"Queen of the calendar"

     Lina hung up the watering can. She put the shovel away. She was helping her father clean up the yard. “I know what I am going to be one     day,” she told him. “what are you going to be?” father asked. “I am going to be Queen of the calendar,” lina said.

     “what does a calendar queen do?” father asked. He gave her a rake. “she names new holidays to celebrate,” lina side. “she names special holidays for every week and every month of the year.”
     father smiled. “what are some of them going to be?” he asked. He started to rake. “april tenth is going to be drop the broom day,” lina said.  “no work on that date!”

     “august first is going to be lucky messy day,” lina said. “no cleaning up! Every Friday can be fireworks day. And every Monday is going to be joke day. We can tell jokes all day. There is not going to be any time for school on Mondays!”. “I like this!” father said. “October sixteenth can be hug atr e day. And july thirtieth can be nice to horses day.”

     Father stopped raking. “what is the date today?” he asked. “june twenty-first,” lina said. “the first day of summer,” father said. “ let’s celebrate!”. “how?” asked lina. “ let’s make it chocolate ice cream day,” said father. “ I like that idea!” said lina so they did.
