“I don’t want to move!” Fred said to his father. “I like living here in New York City. And I like to play in the streets. My friends are here.1 want to stay!” “We have to move, Fred.” Mr Sparks said, “I have a new job on the island. Why don’t you go with us?”

    “No.” Fred answered.

    After a few weeks, the Sparks family left the city by plane. They flew over water. At last they saw the land. “That is Hawaii. It is beautiful!” Mr Sparks said.

   “I don’t care what it is like,” said Fred, “1 wish I could go back to New York City right now!”

    They lived in their new home near the sea. It rained a little every day. When the sun came out again, they could see a rainbow every day. Mr Sparks said, “We could see rainbows only once in a while before.” People nearby came to visit them. The visitors brought fruit from their gardens.

    Weeks went by. One day Fred wrote to Bob and in the letter he said. “I still miss my old friends. But I guess these are our happy islands. Please come to see me. I know you will like Hawaii, too.”
