The old house had been sitting quietly in the summer sun, while weeds grew up around it and the only sound was the chip of the chipmunk and the call of the birds.
The people had been away visiting.
Even when they were home, the house was quiet.
Then came August.
Company came from clear across the country!
The old house woke up!
There were people having breakfast in the kitchen,
there was the sound of the old piano in the dining room.
The old red rooster was rocking again!
The pretty ponies were prancing again!
Umbrellas were opened!
There were people around the picnic table,
there were cousins in the pool,
and the pool was full of splashes and action again.
There was the excitement of getting ready for a wedding
and a birthday.
Thank you to our company!
You brought the old house to life again!
