Meet Vicky and her mom, Ms. Ruby.
Page 1
There once was a tiny family made up of a mommy, Ms. Ruby
and her daughter, Vicky. They often spent their time going to
games and fun outings. Ms. Ruby would try to make them as fun
and comfortable as possible for Vicky. But Vicky was always
sad. She looked at the other families and wondered why her
family seemed incomplete.

One day, at a basketball game, Vicky’s mom caught a basketball
that had gone out of bounds onto the bleachers.
“Sorry, may I have the ball please?” Asked the man.
“Sure.”

The basketball player had been so taken with Ms. Ruby that he
could think of nothing else the entire game other than winning.
“I can’t look like a loser in front of her.” He thought.
“Geez. Don’t let them see you sweat, PJ.” He whispered to
himself as the ball left his hand and the buzzer went off.

After making the winning basket he called over Ms. Ruby and
Vicky to join him in the winners circle.
Now a days Vicky is nothing but smiles when she goes to the
games. Everywhere she goes now Vicky looks around and sees
that she too has a family.
Now, Vicky has a new dream of being a big sister.
