Mars 3000 - Chapter 3

Karin ran in circles, trying to figure out what to do. Her nice toasty house was a long way away and Karin was so afraid, she didn’t know which way she ran. Now she was on the edge of the woods, overlooking a sunny sky but snow was still on the ground. There was a sports field, with two boys rolling around and having fun, paying no attention to Mars’s crash landing. One boy looked about Karin’s age, the other obviously his little brother. “Hi…” she started to say. But the boys were too far away. “I’m freezing. Let’s go inside.” said the older boy. “No!” yelled the younger one. “Billy, your 5th birthday is tomorrow! Let’s go inside to make the cake!” said the older one. “Cake! I love cake!” cried Billy and ran after him. Karin decided she should hang around in the field and wait to see if those boys came out again.
