Excerpt from The Book: "The Day"

The day is bright, The sun is high, And birds are singing in the sky. A boy named Ray is running and playing, Having so much fun that he doesn't even notice the bees buzz by.Ray runs Until he comes to a big, red, juicy apple. He stops to pick it up and takes a big bite. The apple is so delicious, That Ray smiles and says, "This is the best day ever!"
