Jen's Sled Run

Jen's Sled Run

Jen had a new sled. She wanted to play. But a big, black slug sat in her path. “Oh no!” Jen said. “The slug is in my way.”

Jen had a plan. She got a flat block. She slid the block flat on the path. The slug plopped off! It slid to the grass.

Jen was glad. Her path was open. She went to the sled. She sledded down the hill fast. What a fun day!
