The girl loved the note.
She held it to her nose.
It had a sweet smell, like a rose.
They spoke on the phone again.
She loved the boy, too.
Now they are not alone.



Reading 2: The Snow Blow

In the winter it is cold.
A winter storm brings snow.
The snow blows hard outside.
The river does not flow.
It turns to snow above and ice below.

The plants do now show.
They are under the snow.
They are pushed down low.
The plants will grow when winter goes.
For now they sleep under the snow.

The girl will play out in the snow.
She has a hat with a pretty bow.
The wind will blow the snow until the cold will give the girl a chill.

The coat and the goat were both soaked!
That was their last trip on the boat.
