Mrs. McGregor's Salad

A Draw-and-Tell Story
by Adele Jeunette

Mrs. McGregor decided a nice green

salad would be a perfect dish for a
nice warm spring day. She got out her
big salad bowl.

Then she thought about what she

wanted to have in her salad. She
really liked carrots, so she looked in
her refrigerator for the two carrots
that she had pulled and washed the
day before.

She didn't see the carrots, but she

found some round white radishes,
which she cut into slices and put in
her salad.

She kept looking through the

refrigerator, but she still couldn't find
the carrots. She did find some olives,
those green ones with the little red
peppers in the center, so she put
those in the salad.

She found a little triangular piece of

cheese which she thought would
taste good in the salad, so she put it
in. But she couldn't find the carrots.

She found some green pepper she

had sliced, so she put that in, but she
still couldn't find the carrots!

She dug and dug through the

refrigerator. Finally, she found a
couple of pieces of celery which she
thought would taste good and she put
them in the salad.

Well, Mrs. McGregor had looked all

through her refrigerator, but she still
couldn't find those carrots!

She just knew she had brought in

some carrots, so she decided to look
around the house for them.

Here is her path all around the living

room …

And there in the middle of the floor

was one of her carrots! How in the
world did it get there?

It made her wonder if her other carrot

was in the family room. Here is the
path she too all around the family room
to look. And do you know what she
saw?

There was her other carrot!

She continued walking around the

room and then saw a little ball of fluff
peeking from under the couch. She
knelt down and looked under the
couch. Then she saw who had been
taking her carrots. Do you know?

Yes, it was a furry little RABBIT!
