Our Road

There's an old gravel road in front of our house. Cars hardly ever drive there because it's dusty and full of potholes. There's a new road a bit further away and that's where all the cars go. Our road might seem ordinary but it's not because when it rains, the potholes turn into amazing puddles. That's when we run outside, all excited, to dig trenches and float boats.

One day the roadwork trucks arrive. They scrape the potholes flat, pour gravel over everything, cover the road with asphalt and roll it smooth. It's fun to watch, but it completely ruins our road.
