Use the words above to fill in the missing words in the story below. Make sure

to reread your story to make sure it makes sense.

One day Thomas Turtle was invited to play baseball with Hope Hippo. He

went into his room to get his baseball glove and couldn’t find it. “Oh no!” he

thought. “I bet my sister Tina stole it when she was playing in my room last week.”

Thomas ran to tell his mom, Trudy, about his sister stealing.

“Mom,” Thomas said. “Tina stole my glove. I know she’s guilty!”

“Honey, are you positive she stole it? Are you sure you didn’t lose it?” His

mom asked. “No Mom. I just know she did it! I’m convinced!” Thomas said.

“Well, why don’t we ask her first? Maybe she’ll know where it is. If not, we can

have a little trial to decide if she did it or not,” Trudy replied. Trudy went off to

find Tina and Thomas got the living room ready. He set up stuffed animals on a

bench to be the jury, or the people who make the decision. He even set up a

witness stand where he could ask his sister questions about the glove. When Trudy

came back with Tina, Thomas showed them his pretend courtroom. “Now,”

Thomas said as he pointed to his sister. “You must answer my questions.

He began to question her about being in his room the week before. “So,
where did you take my glove and why did you take it?” he asked her. “I promise I

didn’t take your glove. I’m being honest I never played with your glove. In fact, I
didn’t even see it in your messy room.” As Thomas was talking to his sister, Trudy
disappeared, but neither of her children noticed because they were arguing. A few
moments later, Trudy returned with her hands behind her back. “Look what I
found!” she said to Tina and Thomas. “What is it?” they both asked at the same
time. Trudy pulled the object from behind her back. “Your glove!”
Thomas yelled, “I bet you found it in Tina’s room!”
“No,” mom replied. “I found it under your desk. It was underneath some
dirty clothes and trash. From now on, you need to look before you accuse your
sister of stealing.”
“Sorry,” Thomas said to Tina. “You were telling the truth. I should have
believed you.”
“It’s okay,” Tina murmured quietly. “I forgive you.”
Then Tina and Thomas ran off to play baseball with Hope Hippo. ☺
