Kim's Pink Dress
Kim had a new dress. It was a pink dress. Kim liked it much, but it was still damp. She did not want to put it on when it was wet.
Kim had a plan. She went to the sun. She did drape the dress on a big rock. Small drops did drip off the dress.
"I must get it to get not damp," Kim said. "I must go to Pam's soon."
The sun did its work. The drops did drip. The dress felt not damp. Kim ran to get the dress. "Good," Kim said. "Now I can go!" Kim put on the dress. She did not dread it. She did go to Pam's.
