Story Answer:
It was a dark and stormy night. BILL, BOB and LIZ were
playing inside. They were playing ‘Duck, Duck, GOOSE’.
BOB got out and began to cry because HE didn’t like to
LOSE. “BOO hoo” wailed BOB. Then BILL hurt HIS HEEL SO
they stopped playing and HE took off his SHOE. Mum
said “Who wants to help me BOIL an EGG for dinner?”
LIZ felt ILL at the thought of it because SHE doesn’t like
EGGS. The boys quickly ate their dinner. “BE careful not
to eat the SHELL!” laughed mum. After dinner the
children played LEGO. BOB made a yellow and black
BEE and it made LIZ GIGGLE.
