Mix It Up!

"What would you like to mix with that?" the girl behind the counter asked.


Marilyn pursed her lips. There were so many choices. No wonder this place was popular.


Marilyn and her sister Melody were enjoying their time downtown. Melody was older and lived in another state. She lived only a couple of hours away. Melody tried to come see Marilyn regularly.

Marilyn looked at her big sister. "That sounds good, too," she said.
