Camping

"Dad! Dad! Can't we go out on a trip?" little Eve pleaded, staring at her dad with her round doe eyes unblinkingly and hoping to convince the man.

Daniel looked at her eager little daughter, and seeing this, he didn't have the heart to turn her down.

"A trip? Hmm. Where do you want to go?" he questioned.

"Can we go to a different country? Lots of my friends are, and they said it will be really fun. Can we do that?"

This made Daniel feel troubled. He wouldn't be able to be away for that many days.

He frowned and voiced out, "Sorry, Evelyn. That would be hard to arrange. Dad's busy at work. Why don't you think about something else? Something that wouldn't require us going far?"

This made little Eve feel disheartened. She lowered her head and let out a sigh. Nothing could be done about it although she did wish for her dad to agree.

This made Daniel feel aggrieved.
