Last Sunday was sunny and beautiful. All week long the Browns were looking forward to visiting the zoo. 11, Mum and Dad both had colds. All the family had to stay at home.
“12, kids,” said Mum at breakfast. “I know this isn’t the kind of day you wished for.”
“It’s OK,” Peter said in a low voice.
Peter really wanted 13 to rest and feel better, but he couldn’t help feeling blue too. “It’s going to be a(n) 14 day with no fun plans!” He lowered his head.
As he lay in bed feeling sorry for himself, his cats, Charlie and Snow, came in. Charlie jumped on top of Peter’s bookshelf. Snow looked 15 at Charlie with her sweet green eyes.
“Hmm,” Peter smiled. “Are you 16 trying to tell me something?”
Then, as if he really and truly 17 Peter, Charlie knocked a book right off the shelf!
“OK.” Peter 18 the book. “Come and jump onto my bed.” 19 they were all together, they started looking through the pages. “Here is a story about a boy who meets a 20 woman. She turns the boy into a small person. Suddenly, the boy can talk to animals! The boy climbs up on the back of a bird. He flies around and meets many amazing animals...”
Peter started to read the story out loud, 21 after a short while, he started imagining that he was the boy. That daydream was so cool that he had to take out his pen and 22.
A moment later, when Peter’s little brother and sister saw the pictures, they wanted to hear every detail of his 23 trip.
“Tell us again how you 24 to the animals!” said Tom.
“And all about what happened next!” 25 Mary.
Peter decided to turn those drawings into a book—and he’s still having fun working on it!
