Jill wants to be good at tennis. Mom and Jill play a lot. Jill can hit balls that go up and over the net.
It’s so hot now. Jill can not play well. Jill hits and hits and hits. But Jill can not get the ball to go over the net!
Jill yells, “I quit! This is NOT fun.” Mom jogs to the net. “Do not quit yet,” Mom tells Jill. “It’s so hot, but we can have fun.” “OK, I want to play,” Jill yells and runs back.
