Oh, Deer
“It’s time for school, sweetie,” Mitch’s Mom said.
Mitch made his way toward his desk in Mom’s office. He went to school at home, helped by Mom and Dad. It was really nice because he only had to turn around to ask Mom questions while she worked.
Mitch and his parents lived in the mountains of South Dakota, USA. There were very few people around during most of the year. Mitch thought it was the most beautiful place in the world.
And Mitch got to enjoy it all through his window. Mitch’s desk sat in front of a big window, where he could see the mountains and trees.
Mitch was working on his math when he saw something move outside the window. He couldn’t see what it was, so he stood up to look out.
He came face-to-face with a young deer, looking at him through the window.
“Oh, hello,” said Mitch, startling the deer. “What’s your name?”
Mom turned around. “Who are you talking to, my love?”
