The Best! <es>

Jim is off for a day of fun with his pals. His pup runs off to greet them. His friend, Len, said that he got a cool gift.

Len got a new toy boat from his dad. It can float on the water. He is so proud of it. Jim is jealous of his friend’s new toy.

Jim tells a lie. He says that he has the best stuff in the world in his room. Len and his friend call him out. They can smell a lie.

It is true. He does not have a lot of cool stuff in his toy boxes. He will have to go on a search through the rest of the house.

Jim and his pup think about the different stuff around the house. There are a lot of things that his family love.

He gets his grandpa’s best plant. His grandpa is well-known for his plants. People come from all over town to buy them.

Gran does a lot of crafts. He grabs a bowl of wool and twine. She fixes their clothes and toys until they are good as new.

Jim’s dad has a lot of games, but this is his best one. He plays with Pa and his friends a lot. It must be a good one.

His sister, Jill, has a lot of books. This one is all about foxes. She has read it to him before. It is the best story he has ever heard!

Last of all, Jim gets things from his mum’s room. She has a lot of makeup. She wears it when she wants to feel her best.

Jim’s pals do not think that this stuff is that cool. They put it back where it all belongs so that Jim’s family will not get upset.

Oh no! Jim’s mum is missing one of her bottles of perfume. She wishes it was there. They must have forgotten to put it back. She asks them where it is.

They search all through Jim’s room, but they cannot find the bottle of perfume. It is not in his bed. It is not in his cupboard.

Jim’s pup found the bottle! It was under the chair. He snuffed it out. He will get lots of scratches. Jim’s pup is the best of all.
