Fond Memories

Many years ago there were three little girls named Beth, Heather and Ashleigh. They were the best of friends and usually got along famously.One of the things these three girls had in common was their stubbornness, or if you rather, their determination.
These three musketeers always enjoyed a good sleepover, as most young girls do and they particularly enjoyed camping out. So a grand idea was hatched one day that they would set up a tent in the backyard of one of their houses and they'd have a wonderful time sleeping out of doors.
And so, with the consent of their parents, it was set and they were to sleep in the backyard at Heather and Ashleigh's house.This was always Beth's first choice, because they owned a trampoline and what is more fun than a trampoline?
So Beth trundled down the block with her backpack and pillow to Heather and Ashleigh's house.
There was laughter and small arguments as they got the tent set up correctly. Soon it was time for bed and the three girls eagerly crawled into the nests of blankets that each had arranged for themselves in the tent.They quickly settled down to their favorite game of drawing on each-others backs. Whoever was having their back drawn on would have to guess what was being drawn.
Being silly little girls, they had hardly paid any attention to the storm that was brewing outside their little tent.
It soon began to rain, and unworried, they simply pulled their blankets away from the walls of the tent so as not to let in the water. After talking and giggling some more, they soon realized that the storm was getting worse. The wind began to whip around the tent and the thunder started crashing, and the lightning flashing.While they would never admit to being scared of a thunderstorm, they quickly agreed to sing whatever songs they could think of.
They were quite unaware of the fact that Heather and Ashleigh's older brother had decided to sleep on the couch by the living room window and that he had left the window open. And so, unknowingly, they gave him quite a concert sung at the tops of their lungs and rather out of tune.
The next morning they woke to find that the rain had found it's way into the tent and their blankets were soggy. To their embarrassment they also found out that they had provided quality entertainment for said older brother.
But never let it be said that those three girls lacked determination (or stubbornness, whichever you prefer).
