Chad had a plan. He wanted to make a tall brick stack. Chad got one brick. He got two, then three. The stack got tall! But then a brick fell with a crash! Chad did not want the bricks to drop. His kin, Dan, was in his crib. Dan gave a grin. Chad set each brick down flat. He gripped each one. No bricks fell now! The brick stack stood up tall. On the top, Chad set his frog. "Look, Dan! A frog on top!" Dan clapped from his crib. Chad had a big grin. It was the best brick stack yet.
