Mark and Karen Sanford lived with their parents in a small village called Happy Valley. Mark, the oldest acted very grown up for a small boy six years old. He was intelligent, had brown shiny hair, bright blue eyes, and a cute snub nose. Mark always had fancied ideas in his head about what he would be when he grew up. Maybe he would be a doctor or a top-notch lawyer, but of course, that would be many years from then. For the present he was happy wearing old torn jeans and an off color T-shirt with three words written across the chest, “Slow Poke Turtle.” That was one of his favorite animal story characters. Mark always wore his tennis shoes with the hole in front, his big toe sticking out unless it was a hot summer day then he wore no shoes at all. Mark’s mom did not like him wearing dirty-patched clothes, but she knew he was all-boy, and that was the way he liked to dress.
