Got to Go! (Compound Words)

Somebody snuck up on these birds. They are trying to catch them with nets! The birds take flight so that they can get away.

Tim is not the kind of bird that can keep his mind on track. He tries, but he finds himself doing things that he should not.

If he sees a cool bug, he must stop to check it out. He has found a butterfly. He might be here a while.

He has found a branch with a bunch of butterflies! They flit to and fro as Tim has a look and sings a tune.

Oh no! Tim spent too long looking at the bugs. His friends have moved on so that they could stay safe. What will Tim do now?

He needs to be able to fly for a long time. Tim has a long drink from a stream. He does not want to have to stop on the way back to his friends.

He finds an earthworm as a snack. It fills his belly so that he has the energy to fly for hours and find his flock.

Tim sets off into the sky. Before long, he sees a dragonfly. He wants to stop to take a good look, but he keeps on. He goes right by a moth as well.

Tim is doing his best not to look at the ground so that he can stay on track. But what is that he sees? A firefly!

The whole sky is full of fireflies! Tim is so taken by the bugs that he does not see the men with nets. Click! The light blinds him.

Tim froze when the light hit him. Can he make it back up into the sky? If he can just get above the nets.

Tim makes it up to where the nets cannot get him. He flies all night. He flies for so long that he sees the sun start to come up.

Tim is flying with his eyes shut so that he does not spot anything fun and want to stop. But he flies right by his flock!

His flock was flying back to look for him. Tim found them instead! They are so proud that he kept on track and made it home.
