Sifiso Can Not Pass <ai> <ay>

The great green pool by the brook has kept everyone away for weeks, and Sifiso’s gran lies sick on the far side. Can one small boy find a gift worthy of the proud serpent that guards the water? With no bridge and no way across, Sifiso must offer something true and free, then hope the great snake will let him pass. This Bookbot story practices the /eɪ/ sound with words like ‘way’, ‘stays’, ‘waits’, ‘aims’, and ’trail’.
