Mike's Hidden Bike
Mike did like to ride his bike. He did like to go fast! Today, Mike had a big plan. He had a kite, a new kite! He would ride his bike to the big pine by the lake. There, he could fly his kite.
Mike went to get his bike. But he did not see his ride. “My bike is gone!” Mike said. He made a sad face. Mike felt a chill. Where was his bike? He did look on one side of the shed. Not there. He did look on the other side. Not there, no.
Then Mike did see a vine. The vine did hide his bike. Mike gave a big smile. “There is my bike!” he said. He got his bike. He had his kite. It was time to ride!
