Crow Will Stun Them All UFLI Foundations Lesson 71
Practice Words
Jet flaps and flaps in the sun. He has a big plan. 'I will get some pals,' he says, 'and they will catch my best song!'
Jet spots Rabbit, Rooster and Lizard in a patch of grass. He zips to them fast. 'I am Jet!' he yells. 'Catch my best song!'
Jet opens his bill and sings. It is a bad, bad song! Rabbit flinches. The pals twitch as well.
Jet hops to the top of the plant. He stretches his wings and sings with a blast. Jet bets it is a topnotch song.
The pals dash off and scram! Jet blinks. 'They did not catch my song,' he says. 'Next time I will sing with a big, big blast!'
The pals have fled. Jet stands by the plant, sad and small. But Jet will not budge from his plan. 'My next song will be topnotch!' he says.
Jet hops from plant to plant. He has an itch to sing. He looks for the best spot.
Jet stops at the top and stretches to see. He spots a small bench in the sunshine. What is that?
'That is a stage!' Jet yells, and he zips to the grass. Jet hatches a big plan. His pals can sing as well!
Jet sets up a mic on the stage. The pals edge in to look at it. 'Who wants to sing?' asks Jet.
'Rooster, step up!' says Jet. Rooster twitches, but he steps up to the mic. He sings, and what a song! 'Was that me?' he gasps.
'I am next!' says Lizard. She hops on stage and sings into the mic with a blast. Rabbit's legs twitch, and she taps and hops! 'I can't stop!' Rabbit yells.
Rabbit fetches the sticks and smashes the drums. Bam, tap, bam! She sings as well. 'That is so fun!' yells Jet.
'Jet, sing!' the pals all yell. Jet clutches the mic and sings his big, bad song. Not one pal dashes off. Not one bit!
Rooster sings, Lizard strums, and Rabbit smashes the drums. Jet dances and spins. What a topnotch band! Jet has pals at last, and that is the best catch of all.
