Rob's Ring of Bells
Rob's Ring of Bells, page 1
1It was a cold day, with snow on the hill. Rob had a pal, Don the duck. Rob wished he had a gift to give Don. But all Rob had was one long pink string.
Rob's Ring of Bells, page 2
2"A string is not much," said Rob. He sat on a log in the snow to think. Then he spotted six little red bells by the log. He hung the bells on the pink string to make a ring.
Rob's Ring of Bells, page 3
3Rob flapped his wings all the way to Don's home. A big green tree was by the door. Rob hung the ring of bells on Don's door. Then he went tap, tap on the door. Don swung the door.
Rob's Ring of Bells, page 4
4The bells rang and rang! "What a fun ring of bells!" said Don. "Thank you, Rob! Come and sing with me!" So the two pals sang a long song in the snow. And when Don swung his door, the bells rang.
