swim in the lake by my house. I also get to go to the beach with

Last Halloween, Linda dressed up in a pink, silk princess
costume. She even wore a silver crown on her head. Carly
wore a witch costume. She really looked like a princess. Linda’s
princess costume was great!
Gertrude did not enjoy her walk in the forest. As she walked,
branches from the trees scratched her arms and legs. It was
very hot and there were lots of flies. Gertrude really likes to eat

really scared Gertrude. She decided that the next time she takes
a walk, she will walk in the park!
