Neon Cop Goes Ice Skating
“It is very cold outside,” said Neon Cop, coming into the house after work one evening.
“I keep telling you that you shouldn’t wear shorts in the winter,” said Neon Cop’s wife, Sara.
Sara was referring to the fact that Neon Cop wore fluorescent coloured shorts and tops all year long. That was the reason he was called the Neon Cop.
“I think I have to agree with you,” said Neon Cop. “It sure is cold this winter.”
Neon Cop went upstairs to change into some warmer clothes. When he came downstairs, Julie, his step-daughter was in the kitchen helping her mother set the table for dinner.
“I am so bored,” said Julie. “This has been a very cold winter. I am tired of being stuck in the house. We should do something after supper.”
“What would you like to do?” asked Neon Cop.
“I would like to go skating,” said Julie.
“Skating,” said Neon Cop. “Oh boy! I have never skated, ever.”
“Really,” said Julie. “I can teach you.”
“I don’t know,” said Neon Cop. “I don’t even own a pair of skates.”
“You can rent a pair at the arena,” said Sara. “I think we should go skating. I haven’t skated in a long time either.”
“Okay,” said Neon Cop. “Let’s go skating!”
Julie, Sara and Neon Cop ate their dinner and then they went to the arena. Neon Cop was trying to tie his skates up but Sara saw he was having a problem. She set her purse down and helped Neon Cop tie his skates.
“My purse!” yelled Sara, as she saw someone pick up her purse and walk away with it.
Julie saw the culprit run onto the ice. She skated over to him as fast as she could and tripped him. The culprit fell onto the ice. Julie grabbed her mother’s purse from him.
“Good work!” exclaimed Neon Cop, coming up behind Julie.
“You are skating!” exclaimed Julie.
“Well it was the adrenaline of seeing you chase this guy down,” said Neon Cop. “I am not too old to learn new skills.”
Neon Cop gave the culprit a stern warning and he, Julie and Sara went skating. They had a great time on the ice together. Neon Cop was a pro and Julie and Sara loved it. They spent many winter nights at the arena, skating.
