Ella looks at two summer camps online. One camp is an art camp. The other camp is a soccer camp.
She loves to paint and draw. She also loves to play soccer. She can not pick just one.
Ella asks her dad Martin for help. "Which camp do I like more?" she asks. Martin smiles and does not answer right away.
"Think about your favorite thing," Martin says. "What do you do every day at home?"
Ella thinks about her room. She has paint on her desk. She has a soccer ball by her door.
She counts the days she paints each week. She counts the days she plays soccer. She paints almost every single day.
"I paint more than I play soccer," Ella says. Martin nods and hands her the sign-up form.
Ella writes her name on the art camp form. She feels a little sad about soccer camp. But she is also excited about art camp.
Ella packs her bag with brushes and paint. She puts a sketchbook on top. She zips the bag and smiles.
