Lesson 10: Retell a Story Listened to

Little by Little

When Robert awoke one morning, he looked from

the window and saw the ground deeply covered with snow.
On the side of the house nearest the kitchen, the snow piled
higher than Robert’s head.

“We need a path through this snow.” said his

father. “ I would make one if I had time, but I must be at the
office early this morning. Do you think you could make the
path, son?” he asked little Robert,

“Me? The snow is higher than my head! How could

I ever make a path through that snow?”

“How? By doing it little by little. How about you try?”

requested his father as he left for his office.
