Go Get the Tent
Mom sent me to go get the tent.
I went to get it from the shed.
It’s on the top shelf.
I pull it down, and it hits the deck.
Dang! Now it has a dent.
So I lift, and I pant, but I can’t bring it up.
I ask Ann to lend a hand.
But as we drag it along the grass, the tent gets stuck on a stick.
It splits.
I yell for mom.
She can’t help but grin.
“We can’t mend this old tent, and we can’t sell it.”
“If we go camping, we will just have to rent a tent.” ------------------------------- Explain It Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What happened in the story?
Can the tent be used again? Why or why not?
