Description: It was a beautiful spring afternoon and everyone was happy but Anthony. Anthony was alone. His brother had gone to play baseball. His father was away. His mother was working. So Anthony looked out of the window and saw Mr. Corelli and his carousel coming down the street. "A Merry-go-round!" Anthony shouted and ran down the stairs. And then the most exciting thing happened and Anthony wasn't unhappy or lonely any more.
