“It’s like anything else, dear,” said Mama．“No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won’t want to do it anymore．”

　　Papa put his head in his hands．

　　“She must be really mad at me,” he mumbled．“Maybe I should say sorry to her．”

　　Sister’s footsteps could be heard on the stairs．She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents．

　　“Honey,” said Mama with a smile, “your papa and I have decided that there’s no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don’t want to．”

　　Sister’s face lit up like a Christmas tree．“Yippee!” she cried．

　　“And,” added Papa, “there’s no need for any more drills．I’m sure you’ll bring your grades back up all by yourself．”

　　Sister ran to Papa and jumped into his arms．She gave him a big hug．“I’m going to go play cards with Lizzy!” she said．“See you later!”

　　From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny road toward Lizzy’s house．

　　“It’s good to see her happy again,” said Mama．

　　“It sure is,” Papa agreed．“As for the swimming team, there’s always next year．”

　　“If?” Mama prompted him．

　　“Oh, right,” said Papa．“If she wants to．”
