Practice Words
Fig Pig stands in a dark mine. He has a pick and a wee lamp. 'I will dig deep in this mine,' he yells. 'I will get fine coal. I am brave!' And in he trots.
Fig Pig creeps in deep. The mine is vast and dim. Rusty rails run into the shade. 'They dug all this,' he gasps. 'It is a big maze!' He grips his lamp and marches on.
Fig Pig spots a chest. The lid is up. In the chest is a fine sharp blade. 'This is not a crime,' he tells the chest. 'I will just take this blade. It will keep me safe.'
Then Fig Pig stops. A big spider dozes in a thick sticky web! He grips his blade. He takes a step. Step, step, step. The spider dozes on. Quick, Fig Pig! He zips past the web.
The path is thin. Under the path is a hot red blaze. 'I am fine,' pants Fig Pig. But his legs shake as he steps. Do not look in the pit, Fig Pig! He looks. Big mistake.
At last Fig Pig makes it outside. Sunshine! Then he spots a big red note by the mine. Run, Fig Pig, run! He races home. Zoom! Next time he will check the note at the start!
