Sister Simon’s Saints

Illustrated by Dilleen Marsh

WELCOME!
I’m Sister Simon.
Hi! I’m Ramón.
Hello. I’m Cathlyn.
I’m Mei Lin.
Hi! I’m David.
And I’m Joshua.

Hey, Ramón, let’s get going. We’ll be late for the project to help Brother Hollister.

I’m afraid I can’t make it. Brother Hollister’s a great guy, and I really want to help him, but my uncle just invited me to go to the ball game.

OK. See you later.

I mean, I can help Brother Hollister some other time, right?

Of course. Don’t worry about it.

Look, I know he’s helped others all his life, and times are tough for him right now, but a guy needs to have some fun, too, doesn’t he?

Absolutely. Enjoy the game.

Sure, I always feel great after one of these projects, and there’ll be other ball games, but … Oh, all right then, you’ve talked me into it. I’ll call my uncle and get a rain check on the ball game.

Boy, you really know how to pressure a guy.

What?
