Story StructureEveryone was talking about it! Two whales had made

a mistake. They were swimming in the river and not in the

ocean!

Maria and her dad went to the river to see the whales.

Hundreds of people were there. Dad picked up Maria and put

her above his head. She looked at the river.

There they were! The whales were swimming along, huge

and shiny. Then they were gone.

Dad smiled at Maria. “How do you feel now?” he asked.

“Oh, Dad,” said Maria. “I am so glad I saw them! And I

am so glad they have made it home.”

“I cannot find my pencils,” Mr. Jones told his cat, Felix.

“Yesterday, I couldn’t find my pens.”

Felix looked up from his pillow and yawned. Mr. Jones

went to get his house key. It was not on the table!

He began to look for the key. He took the pillows off the

sofa. He looked under his papers and in his piles of books. He

checked his coat pockets and his old shoes. Nothing!

Finally, Mr. Jones said to Felix. “It’s time to check you.”

Felix leaped up and ran off. There, on Felix’s pillow, sat

five pencils, three pens, and a set of house keys.
