Mom, Dad, and Me: The Inclusive Cricket Game

Mom, Dad, and I went to the park to play cricket. Mom wore a red shirt and blue pants. Dad wore a green shirt and black shorts. I wore a purple shirt and yellow shorts. We set up the cricket pitch and started playing.

Dad bowled the ball towards Mom. She hit it with her bat. I cheered for her! Dad and Mom ran between the wickets to score runs. Then, it was my turn to bat.

I held the bat with both hands and focused. Dad pitched the ball, and I swung. The ball went high up in the air! Mom caught it gracefully. We all clapped for her amazing catch.

We continued playing, taking turns and having fun. Dad taught me how to bowl, and Mom practiced her batting skills. We made sure everyone got a chance to play. We laughed and encouraged each other.

Suddenly, a group of kids passing by noticed us and asked if they could join. We happily welcomed them. We divided into two teams and started a friendly match. It was great to play with new friends.
