April 2, 2008 Dear mom and dad, Something memorable has happened to me lately. You both know just how much I like reading. Mrs. Louthian hands out an award each month for whoever reads the most books. I have not ever got the award. Well, I have very recently got the award. I can't tell you just how much I like it, with its deep blue ribbon and the gentle clink-clink of the chain. When I got it, I just couldn't believe it! Sincerely, Your son, Henry
