In warm =April, =Homer woke up. He made a hole in his nest and crawled up onto the twig. He sat in the warm sun. He smiled. But =Homer was not the same old =Homer. Now he was a mariposa! At last the hare got up. He saw the tortoise near the top of the hill. The hare ran as fast as the wind, but it was too late. The tortoise had stopped under the fir tree. The tortoise had won. The little pink pig began to hop up and down. Tiger, =Tiger! she called. Pigs can hop up and down. Can tigers? The big tiger saw the little pigs hop up and down on the trail. He tried to hop and keep the plums in his paw. Will it hurt me? asked =Elaine. No, said her dad, it will not hurt you. Garter snakes are harmless snakes. Snakes like to lie in the sun to get warm. The three stripes tell you it is a garter snake. =Elaine bent down. She saw one stripe down the snake's back. She saw two stripes like lines down its sides. =Ben went upstairs to see his mom. =Mom, he said, can I sleep in the tent with =Craig and =Carl? Yes, dear, his mom said. But it will get dark.

So the Little Red Hen cut and threshed the wheat and when it was threshed, she asked, "Who will take the wheat to the mill to have it ground into flour?" The duck and the cat and the dog answered, The oranges are ready. Workers pick them. There are so many oranges. First they go in boxes. Where will they go next? Someone will sell the juice. Someone will buy it. Who will drink it? รน~ Will you? The oranges are ready. Workers pick them. There are so many oranges. First they go in boxes. Where will they go next? "We are crying because the boy is crying," said the birds. "And the boy is crying because the goats will not come away from the flowers." "I'll get the goats to come away," said the fox. And the fox did all it could to help the boy. But the goats would not come away from the flowers. So the fox began to cry too. PAM: Look under those flowers Which grow in the box. Look under the birdhouse. Look under the rocks. LEONARD: Flowers and rocks Are not places to look, When what you are looking for Looks like a book. I must look in the place Where the book was last read. Oh! Now I know where. I'll look under the bed! Soon the little foxes will need to know how to find food. But there will be time for those things. Now they want to stop and play. One day two birds came by. "We are going to fly someplace w~rm," they said. "Would you like to come?" "But I can't fly," the turtle said. Next we go to see the people dance. The people get in a line. One man starts to dance. The others follow him. The dance looks like fun. I start to dance too. Sue and Tom followed Grandfather out of the house to the garden. Grandfather took something out of his coat. "What is that?" Tom asked. "It's a secret seed," Grandfather said. "Plant it for me. After it grows, you will see what it is." "She likes red," said the little girl. "Red," said Mr. Rabbit. "You can't give her red." "Something red, maybe," said the little girl. "Oh, something red," said Mr. Rabbit. "What is red?" said the little girl. "There are red roofs," said Mr. Rabbit. "No, we have a roof," said the little girl. "I don't want to give her that." Some people like to sing to the plants they have. No one knows if this helps the plants grow. What we do know is that all plants need water and light. And the more you know about what your plants need, the better your plants will grow. At last Betty came in. "What is going on?" Betty said. "That will do, magic hat." "It is a good thing you came in," Lee said. "What will we do with all the flowers?" "People like flowers," Betty said. "We will see that people get flowers." And they did. "What do you see now?" said Jake. Ann said, "There is the zoo." She said, "See all the animals?" Jake asked, "Where? Where are the animals?" He looked and looked for the animals.
