Beth's Stolen Chip

Beth sat on a bench to munch her lunch. She had a big chip and a red plum. A small chick ran up. It was so quick! The chick got the chip and ran off. It ran to the rim of a ditch. Beth had a plan for her chip.

“Oh no!” said Beth. “I will get that chick!”

She got a long stick. Beth set the stick on the ditch. But the chick did not let go of the chip. So Beth had a new plan. She got a small bit of her red plum. She set it on the bench. The chick ran back. It got the plum and let go of the chip.

“Yes!” Beth said. “It was a fun trick.”
