God Never Made a Hurt

Grace Soden Haerle

Do you like to take car rides? Marty does. He's four years old.

One sunny summer day Marty was taking a ride with his mother and his grandmother, his baby brother, and his two girl cousins. One cousin, Lucy, is older than Marty, but Janey is a year younger than he is. Marty was sitting in the front seat with his mother, who was driving the car. His grandmother, the baby, and the little girls were in the backseat.

Grandmother asked if they would like to stop at their favorite ice-cream store and buy ice-cream cones. Everyone thought that was a great idea, and each one, except the baby, had a large cone with his favorite flavor of ice cream. Soon after Janey started to eat hers, she bent over, started to cry, and said, "Oh, my tummy hurts."
