The teacher said we have to write down what
we want to be when we grow up.

1
Hhm...what do I want to be?
Hey, look! That person sells ice cream.

2
I want to sell ice cream!
I can walk around the neighborhood and eat
ice cream all day.

3
Riiing Riiing!
It’s time to go home.

4
Oh look. A mail truck.

5
It could be nice to be a postal worker.
I could travel all around town

6
Mom is here already to pick me up.

7
8
I get to take the train to go to Grandma’s
house.

9
Choo! Choo!
I am a train driver!
My train travels to faraway cities.
Woohoo.

10
I wonder where that plane is going?

11
Pilots can go anywhere. Across oceans and
continents!
I love flying in the sky.

12
Hooray! I got a package from my dad.

13
Maybe I could be a marine biologist like my
dad.

14
Then I could dive in the deep sea and play
with all of the underwater animals.

15
I wonder what is inside the box... Wow! A
rocket!

16
17
Uh-oh. I fell asleep.

18
Finally, I know what I want to be. I want to be
an astronaut!
I want to explore outer space and visit the
planets and the stars.
