Starry Night

My uncle Sam is an astronomer. He gets to look at the planets and the stars. Uncle Sam gave me a big telescope for my birthday. On a clear night last week, we looked through the telescope together. I saw a very bright spot in the sky. My uncle told me it was the planet Venus.

Uncle Sam showed me groups of stars that look like pictures. He showed me “The Big Dipper’’. It looks like a big pot with a long handle. He showed me one called “the Broken W’’. It looks like a “w’’, but it is a little bit lopsided.

I love looking at the starry night sky. Maybe I will be an astronomer, too!

astronomer: a person who studies stars, planets, and space

telescope: an instrument that makes things appear nearer and larger

Venus: the second planet from the Sun

lopsided: not straight

A Day with Grandpa

I like it when Grandpa comes to visit. He always does amazing things with us. Today he said he was going to make a bird feeder!

First, Grandpa took out a pine cone and a bag of birdseed. He told me to get some peanut butter and put it all over the pine cone. Then he told my sister to roll the pine cone in the birdseed.

Next, Grandpa tied a strong string around the pine cone. We went outside and walked to a tree in the backyard. Grandpa tied the pine cone to a branch.

We waited. Soon a bird came and pecked at the pine cone! Grandpa said it was a sparrow. Later, a beautiful blue bird came to get some seeds. Grandpa said it was a blue jay. It was exciting. We like watching birds with Grandpa.

My First Trip to the Dentist

Today I went to see the dentist. It was my first time. I was a little scared, but the dentist was very kind. He told me to sit down in a big chair. We watched a cartoon about a mouse having his teeth checked. It was funny.

Then the dentist showed me some of his tools. Later, I pressed a button and some water went into a drinking cup.

After that, the dentist told me to lie back and open my mouth. He counted my teeth. Then he checked them carefully. He said my teeth looked nice. He showed me how to brush them correctly. When I was leaving, he gave me a new toothbrush.

I like my dentist. I am going to see him again in six months.

The Giant Turnip

One day a poor farmer wanted to plant a vegetable garden. He liked turnips, but his wife and children did not. His wife liked peas. His son liked beans. His daughter liked carrots. So they played a game of cards to find a winner. The farmer won.

The farmer planted a turnip. He watered it everyday. The turnip became very big.

At the end of the summer, it was time to pull the turnip out of the soil. The farmer pulled and pulled, but the turnip was so big that it would not come out. His wife and son came to help him, but the turnip would not come out.

Finally, the little girl came out to help. They all pulled together. The giant turnip came out of the ground. They carried the turnip home and cooked turnip soup. Everyone loved it!

The Sun and the Wind

One day the Sun and the Wind were watching a man walk in the park. He was wearing a big, heavy coat.

“I’m so strong,” said the Wind. “I can make that coat come off the man.”

The Sun smiled. “Go ahead. Show me,” said the Sun.

The wind began to blow. It blew and blew. It was so hard for the man to walk in the wind, but the Wind could not blow the coat off the man’s body.

“Watch me,” said the Sun.

The Sun shone bright and hot. Soon the man stopped walking. He wiped his forehead with his handkerchief. Then he took of his coat.

The Greedy Dog

One day a big, brown dog found a nice stick in the park. A little dog saw the big dog’s stick, and wanted to play with him. However, the big dog did not want to share. He picked up his stick and ran away. The little dog was sad, but he found another friend to play with.

On his way home, the big dog walked next to a pond. He looked in the pond and saw another dog. That dog also had a big stick! The big dog wanted to take the stick from the other dog, so he opened his mouth wide. The stick dropped into the pond!

So the big, brown dog had no stick and no friends to play with.
