question: Sally the cat went outside to play. First she went on the trail to the river. Sally sat and watched the fish. She wanted to catch a fish. The fish swam away too fast. Next she went to the field. Sally laid down in the grass and took a nap. There's nothing like a cat nap on a warm day. When Sally woke up she saw a mouse. Sally ran after the mouse and tried to catch it. The mouse ran into a hole and got away. "That's okay" Sally said. "I'll get him next time." Sally went back to the trail and began to walk home. When she got back to the river she took a drink of water. "This water tastes good" said Sally. When she got back to her house, Sally went inside and ate a cat treat. She spent the rest of day playing with her favorite person. "This was a good day" said Sally.

question: One morning, Elena woke up, much like she did every day. She threw the covers on the floor and rolled out of bed, yawning hugely. She walked to the window and said, "Hello there, Mr. tree!" at the big tree in the yard. It waved its branches back at her. She walked over to her fish bowl next. "Hello there, Mr. Fish!" But wait. Where was Mr. Fish? The bowl was empty--oh, the rocks and water and tiny castle were all there alright, but the pretty blue fish with the long shiny tail was nowhere to be seen. Elena was very worried. She liked Mr. Fish very much. She looked all around her desk, but here wasn't there. Then she looked on the floor behind the desk--and there he was! He was covered in dust bunnies and not moving. Elena picked him up and put him back in the bowl. And what do you know? He shook himself off and started swimming around again!

question: Josie started planning her new garden in the winter. She chose flowers and vegetables that could grow in her area. She looked through the seed magazines. She ordered the tastiest kind of each vegetable and the prettiest kind of each flower. She talked to a friend about her plans. It seemed like the snow would never melt.

But Josie didn't have to wait for spring to get started. Six weeks before the last frost, Josie planted seeds indoors. The tiny seedlings pushed up through the soil and began to grow.

Finally spring arrived. Each day, Josie moved the seedlings outside for a few hours so they could get used to the cooler temperatures. Josie worked in her garden, digging the soil. She added a special growing mix from the garden store to make the soil better. When everything was ready, she removed the seedlings from their trays and planted them in her garden. The warm sun and rich soil helped her vegetables and flowers grow.
