A day at the beach.  When Sam woke in the morning, he was super excited!  Today was the day!  It was Sunday, the day that Sam's mom and dad had promised to take Sam to the beach. Sam's grandma had given a pail and shovel to Sam to use in the sand.  At breakfast Sam was so excited he was wiggling in his seat!  Mom told Sam that they would leave when the big hand on the clock was pointing to the 10, and the little had was pointing to the 12.  Mom asked Sam if he would like to help make sandwiches for the trip, and Sam said that he wanted to help.  Dad said, "let's make a game of it, we need to make a sandwich for each of us.  There are three of us, so we need three sandwiches.  Let's count as we make the sandwiches!"  Sam counted as mom made the sandwiches, one for dad, one for mom and one for Sam.  Then mom started to make another sandwich!  "Mom!" said Sam, "we have three sandwiches and that makes one sandwich for each of us."  Sam's mom laughed, "You're right Sam!"  Sam's mom said she was being silly. How many people were going to the beach?
To many people to count! Five people. Sam was the only one going to the beach. Three, Sam his mom and his dad.
