CHAPTER FOUR
Emma Meets the Movers
The day to move to Mapleton had finally arrived for Emma and her family.
Emma woke up that morning feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. She climbed out of bed and looked around her nearly empty room.
"Emma!" Mommy's voice called from downstairs. "Come have some breakfast! The movers will be here soon."
Emma hurried down the stairs and made her way into the kitchen. The smell of pancakes, eggs, and bacon wafted through the air. Mommy and Daddy had ordered breakfast to-go from the diner down the street and set the table with paper plates and plastic cups.
Emma sat down as Mommy spooned some scrambled eggs onto her plate. "The movers will be here soon, Emma," she said.
"Remember what we told you about being safe," added Daddy.
"Make sure I stay out of the movers' way," Emma said, taking a bite of pancake.
"And what else?" asked Mommy.
"To come tell you if I get hurt or if I see someone else get hurt," said Emma.
"Do you know where the first-aid kit is?" asked Daddy.
"In the bathroom closet," Emma announced, smiling proudly.
"What can you help with today?" asked Mommy.
"I can help you pack our bags for the car trip and our first night in our new house." Emma took a sip from her red plastic cup filled with orange juice. "Right, Mommy?"
"Yes, that's right," said Mommy. There was a knock at the door.
Daddy hurried to answer it.
"The movers are here, “said Mommy. “Remember everything we everything we told you and everything will go fine!"
