Lesson 118 (ch /sh/, ch /k/, gn /n/, gh /g/, Silent t)

"Daisy, the butterfly, woke up early in the meadow."

"She felt a rustle in the grass below."

"Daisy decided to listen closely."

"She heard a faint echo from the distance."

"It was a gnome, named Gnat, practicing his whistle."

"Daisy decided to fly closer to Gnat."

"Good morning, Gnat! I heard your whistle," Daisy said.

"Gnat, with a ghastly look, did not hear Daisy approach."

"Daisy, let's wrestle with the thistle in the wind," Gnat suggested.

"Daisy agreed and they both began to wrestle with the thistle."

"After the game, Daisy fastened a small leaf to use as a chute."

"With a final wave to Gnat, Daisy sailed away in the wind, back to her home."
