Janet is eleven years old. She will be twelve in August. Her brother Edward who is four years old. They live in Valencia, Spain, a beautiful city on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
Janet and Edward play together in Turia Park on the weekend. They visit The City of Arts and Sciences, and they play in Gulliver Park. Sometimes, Janet plays with her friends and Edward plays with his friends.
They go to the same school. Janet is a good sister and takes care of Edward. In the school cafeteria, Janet makes sure that Edward eats all of his vegetables. The cafeteria has very healthy food, but sometimes Edward doesn’t like the vegetables. Every day, they have vegetables, fruit, and two other things for lunch, like pasta, soup, rice, fish, or chicken.
“If you want to be big and strong, you have to eat your vegetables,” Janet says.
“Even broccoli? I don't like broccoli.”
“Even broccoli,” Janet says.

Edward is a good brother, but sometimes he's a little crazy. He doesn’t like to take the bus to school every morning. They take the bus because their school is far from their house.It's too far away to walk.
One morning, he meets Janet at the bus stop in their parents’ car.
“Let’s drive to school today,” Edward says.
Janet is very surprised.
“What are you doing, Edward? You can’t drive a car.”
“Yes, I can. I learned with my toy electric car. Driving is easy.”
“I mean you aren’t allowed (permitted) to drive,” Janet says. “You must be 18 to drive.”
Edward parks
the car expertly, and he and his big sister take the bus to school.
