Pip's Frog Painting
Pip had a plan. He did want to print a frog. He did not have his brush. The brush was on a tall shelf.
Pip went to grab the brush. He did bump a cup. A drip fell! Pip did grin. "Oh, no!" he said. He did not want Mom to see the drip. Pip did press 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!"
