Fireworks by the Lake

1Malik and his big sister, Zara, sat on a blanket on the soft, cool grass by the lake. Malik ate a salty pretzel. The sky grew dark, and the crickets chirped.

2BOOM! The first firework shook the ground. Malik jumped and covered his ears. His heart thumped fast. "I'm scared," he whispered.

3Zara held his hand. "Look up," she said. Red and gold sparks sizzled and fizzed across the sky. The smoky air made Malik's nose wrinkle.

4Slowly, Malik's tight shoulders relaxed. He giggled at a sparkly green swirl. "Hooray!" he shouted, and he clapped his hands.
