Kim's Pink Dress

Kim had a pink dress. Kim had fun in the dress. She did a spin and a hop.

Then, Kim got a red drink. She had a sip, but a big drop fell. The drop of red stuff hit her pink dress! "Oh no!" Kim said. "I must fix this mess."

Kim ran to the sink. She got the dress wet. The red spot was not on it, but the dress had a drip, drop, drip.

Kim had the wet dress. She ran in the sun. She got a big, flat rock. Kim set the dress on the rock in the hot sun. The sun did its job. The dress was not wet.
