A Dog and a Frog

康曉敏

A dog and a frog sit on a rock*，

The rock is very， very hot， hot， hot.

The dog and the frog jump into a pond*，

But the pond is a dirty bog*， bog， bog.

Now lets play the game—Word Search！ First， look at the pictures. Then circle（圈出） the words.

Tiffany played with the new dolls house the whole day（一整天）. Then she fell asleep* in front of the dolls house.

Tiffany dreamed（夢見） that she was a doll too. She lived happily with the other dolls in the dolls house. But suddenly Tiffany saw a sad face.

The sad face said， “You dont love me now. I will go to a far place. Goodbye！”

Tiffany suddenly thought of poor Susie Doll.* “Dont go！”

Tiffany woke up. “I had a terrible（可怕的） dream，” Tiffany said to her mother. “I will tell my Susie Doll.”

But Tiffany could not find her Susie Doll. “My Susie Doll went away，because I only played with the new dolls house all day *” she cried.

“The dolls house？ Wait a minute*！” Tiffanys dad said. Then he ran out of the room. Soon he came back.

“Look！ What is it？” he said to Tiffany.

“My Susie Doll！” Tiffany was very happy. “I will not leave you.”

The mirror finished telling its story. Then it faded（變暗）.

“Thank you for the story！” Felicity said to the mirror. “Goodbye！”

“I will visit the mirror every day of the holidays.” Felicity said to herself（她自己）.
