Chad's Brick Tower

Chad had a big stack of red brick. He had a plan for Dan. Dan was in his crib and was sad.

Chad set a brick up. Then he set up the rest of his big stack. The stack was so tall.

Then, Chad had a trick to get a grin. He got a brush. Chad got some green slop and put it on his brush. He put a spot on the top brick, and then two dots. It was a frog!

"Look, Dan!" said Chad.

Dan sat up in his crib. He got a big grin for the frog on the brick.
