Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping
"Hurry up, Amelia Bedelia," called Mr. Rogers.
"I'm coming, I'm coming," said Amelia Bedelia.
"Did we get everything?" asked Mrs. Rogers.
"I would say so," said Amelia Bedelia.
"Good," said Mr. Rogers.
"It's time to hit the road."
"Hit the road?" asked Amelia Bedelia.
"All right." She picked up a stick.
And Amelia Bedelia hit the road.
"Stop that!" shouted Mr. Rogers.
"Get into the car."
Amelia Bedelia got into the car.
"I'm so excited," she said.
"I've never been camping."
"You will have fun," said Mrs. Rogers.
They rode for a long time.
Finally Mr. Rogers stopped the car.
"Wake up, Amelia Bedelia," said Mrs. Rogers. "This is it."
Amelia Bedelia looked all around.
"But where is the camp?" she asked.
"The camp is in the car," said Mr. Rogers.
"In the car!" said Amelia Bedelia.
