Pip's Frog Painting

Pip had a plan. He wanted to made a frog on a brick. He did not have his brush. The brush was on a tall shelf.

Pip went to grab the brush. He bumped a cup. A drip fell! Pip grinned. "Oh, no!" he said. He did not want Mom to see the drip. Pip pressed a clean cloth to the spot.

Then Pip had a trick. He got his red truck. He put the truck on a box. Pip could grab the brush from the truck. He got fresh ink. He made a frog on a brick. "Look, Mom!" Pip said. "A frog!"
