Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Max who lived in the country. Every weekend, he looked forward to Friday, Saturday and Sunday because he had no school and could do anything he wanted.
One weekend, Max felt extra lucky. He went to church on Sunday morning, then visited the dairy, baker and grocer to see what treats they had in store.
The baker had freshly baked cookies, the grocer had colorful candies and the dairy had cold, creamy ice cream. Max couldn't decide what to get, so he got a little bit of everything.
Max enjoyed his treats while sitting outside and watching the world go by. He was grateful for his lucky weekend and all the fun it brought. The end.

Reflections

1. What did Max do on the weekend?
2. Where did Max go on Sunday morning?
3. What did Max get from the dairy, baker, and grocer?
4. How did Max feel at the end of the story?
5. Do you think you would have made the same choices as Max? Why or why not?
