Leaf Pile Fun

Fred was jumping in the big pile of leaves. “I love jumping!" said Fred.

Ann and Beth were sitting. Ann was fussing. She did not want to clean up.

“I do not want to clean," Fred said, puffing. “Jumping is fun!”

Beth blinked, thinking, "What if we made cleaning a game?”

Fred stopped jumping, asking, "What should we do?"

“We can do a leaf jumping game! Then, we will clean by stacking the leaves. We will jump, then stack," Beth said flapping her wings.

Fred grinned. “Let's do it!" he said.

They all were jumping, flapping, and crashing into the pile.

Fred was panting. He felt glad.

“This was fun!” Fred said, grinning.

They kept pulling and lifting the leaves into piles.

By the time they were done, it was clean. They had the best time.

“Cleaning was not so bad,” Fred said.
