EAST TO WEST by Maria Fonda
1.I love New York City.I like the East.
We always lived there.Then my father got a new job.
It was in Arizona,where the Grand Canyon is.Out West!
Hollywood,in California,is all right.
You can see beautiful movie stars there.
Washington,D.C.is all right.It's the capital of the United States.
You can see famous people like the president there.
But what can you see in Arizona?Cows!Horses!I didn't want to move!
2.But my father said we had to go.
He got our tickets.Then we packed our suitcases.
In a short time,we were in our seats on the plane,flying west.
It was a long trip,miles and miles.
My-father slept in his seat,next to mine.Mine was next to the window.
I saw rivers and mountains and forests with about a million trees.
I wiggled my toes in my new cowboy boots.
I wanted to have friends.I wanted to be popular in my new school.
3.The houses on our new street were all brown.
"That one is ours,"my father said.
The yard was wide and sandy.There was a big cactus.
I didn't see any cows.I did see a girl.
"Hello,"she said."I'm Jan.Do you want to go have some fun?"
"I can't ride a horse,"I told her.She just looked at me.
"I want to go to the mall.We don't ride horses there!"she said.
"And why are you wearing cowboy clothes?
Most people don't wear them here."I liked her!
4.Do you know what I saw at the mall?A cow!But it wasn't real.It was in the window of the ice-cream store.
We had one just like it in New York.
Do you know what?I think I'm going to like Arizona!
