A Fine Shine

Jane went for a walk in the muddy lane, and now her boots are filthy.


She needs them for an event at church, so she will have to give them a shine.


She washes them with warm water.

Next, she gets a scrap of cloth and a jar of wax polish.

She dips the cloth into the jar and then rubs it all over the left boot.

Then she does the same with the other one.


She keeps going until both boots look smooth and glossy.


Now her boots have a fine shine! ------------------------------- Explain It

Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:

  1. What does the word "filthy" mean?

  2. Can you describe how Jane shines her boots?
