Chad's Brick Tower
Chad had a plan. He did want to make a tall brick stack. Chad got one brick. He got two, then three bricks. But then, a brick fell with a crash! Chad did not want the bricks to drop. His kin, Dan, was in his crib. Dan did grab a brick. Chad said, “Do not grab the brick!”
Chad did press each brick down. He did grip each brick full. No bricks did drop. Chad got a brush. He got black ink. Chad did print a frog look on the top brick. Dan did grin from his crib. “A frog!” said Dan. Chad felt good.
