Dancing with Daddy和爸爸跳舞

Jessica was 8 years old. She was veryenergetic1 and ready for some fun. One earlySunday morning， she tried playing at homeall by herself， but after a while it was notany fun.

Jessica read to her dolls， and got on hercomputer， but soon that was boring.

“I am so bored2，”said Jessica.“Thereis nothing fun to do around the house.”Hermom went out to visit some friends. Herdaddy was in his bedroom.

“What else can I do for fun？”thought Jessica.

Minutes later， Jessica’s daddy walkedinto the living room.

“Jessica， why are you looking sobored？”asked her daddy.

“It is a boring morning，”said Jessica.

“I’m sure there are lots of things todo for fun，”said her daddy. “Just waitright here.”

Jessica’s daddy went back into hisbedroom and into his closet3.

“What in the world is Daddy doingin his closet？”thought Jessica. “What ishe looking for？”

About five minutes later， Jessica’sdaddy came back with a big black trunk4.

“What is in the trunk？”asked Jessica.

As her daddy opened the trunk， hetook out a black top hat， a long blackcane5 and black tap6 shoes. He put themon and moved some of the furniture7back for more room.

“Now， let me show you a newdance，”said her daddy. “This is how Iused to dance when I lived and per -formed8 in New York City.”

Jessica’s daddy looked very funny inhis top hat and twirling9 his cane. She didnot know that her daddy knew how to singand tap dance.

As she looked into his trunk， therewere old black and white pictures of herdaddy dancing and singing in front ofpeople. There were even pictures of herdaddy when he was little around her age.

She tried on some of the old hats thather daddy used to wear while dancing.
