Pass the Pitcher
“Will you pass the pitcher?” I ask my sister.
“Which one?” she asks.
“The glass one. The one full of water,” I say.
“Shall I risk it?” she asks.
“Yes, you can trust me,” I say.
“But will you catch it?” she asks in jest.
“No, no! Do not pitch it to me,” I say. “Just pass me the pitcher.”
“Ok. Think fast!” she pretends.
“Watch it!” I say, as I grab it with my hand.
At last, I get to drink water. Then I send my sister a wink. ------------------------------- Explain It
Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:
What was in the pitcher?
Why did the main character want the pitcher?
