New Baby

Roni was sad. Lately, Mother was always tired. She didn’t want to play hide and seek or bake cookies. She just wanted to sleep on the couch.
“What is wrong with Mother?” Roni asked Father. “She doesn’t want to play with me any more.”
He smiled. “Mother is resting,” he said. “Soon, you will have a baby brother.” Then Mother went into the hospital. Father took Roni to visit her that night. She held a little baby in a blanket.
Roni looked at the little baby. She frowned. “Will you ever want to play hide and seek again?”
“Yes,” Mother said. “Soon, this little boy will be able to play, too.” Then Roni wasn’t sad anymore. She knew now that having a brother would be fun.
