chapter five

Chapter five

A few months has passed.

Danielle was having a picnic with Ronan in their backyard. They’ve thrown a piece of cloth on the grass and brought out cookie tins from the pantry. Nanny Beth has made them a chocolate cake and some lemonade so it was a very exiting picnic.

“Mummy look at this!” Ronan cried.

“What?”

“This ant is dragging away my cookie.”

 There were a few ants, trying to lift the cookie that Ronan has left lying on the grass.

“Let them take it.” Danielle said with a smile.

“But it’s mine.” Ronan wailed.

“What did I say about sharing your stuffs with others?”

“Okay.” Ronan said sadly.

“Look, why don’t you take my cookie?” Danielle handed out hers.

“No, mummy that is yours. I don’t want one.”

Danielle laughed. “That’s okay. Just take it.”

Ronan took the cookie and break it into two.

“here.” he handed one half to Danielle.

Danielle smiled. She took the cookie with her mouth and ate it.

“Mummy you’re disgusting!”

Danielle laughed.

“Hey, you want more lemonade?”

“No.” Ronan shook his small head.

Danielle lay down on the grass.

“You know what Ronan, I used to hate sitting on the grass.”

“Why?”

“Because I'm afraid of ants.”

Ronan smiled. He bent down.

“What are you doing?” Danielle asked.

Ronan was holding something in his hands. It was a small ant.

“Ronan!” Danielle cried. “Get away from me!”

Ronan laughed. He chased Danielle. Danielle ran away, trying to avoid Ronan’s hands.

“Ronan put that down or I will tickle you!”

Ronan laughed. He continued chasing Danielle.

“Okay you asked for this.” Danielle made a sudden jump and caught Ronan from behind. She hugged Ronan and started to tickle him.

“Mummy stop!” Ronan said, giggling.

Danielle laughed. “You’ll have to make me.”

Ronan laughed until he was out of breath. So did Danielle.

They both lay down on the grass side by side.

“Hey baby, do you love me?” Danielle asked suddenly.

“Yes I do mummy, I love you so very much.” Ronan said with a cute smile on his face.” I love you more than I love my cookies.”

Danielle laughed. “You love me more than your cookies?

Ronan nodded.

“Do you love Nanny Beth?”

“I do too.”
