Jo Brings the Flag

Jo had a job to do. She had to bring a flag to Bob.

It was a big job. Jo set out on the path.

Jo passed a duckling. "Hi, Jo!" he said, but Jo did not stop.

Jo was in a rush. "I must go!" she said. "I have a big job to do, but you can go with me!"

Jo and the duckling dashed off. They passed the duckling's mom. "We have a big job to do, but I will be back!" the duckling said.

Mom went to kiss the duckling, but he rushed off so fast that she missed.

Jo and the duckling crossed a pond. Jo held the flag up so that it did not get wet.

At last, Jo and the duckling got the flag to the grass. "Bob, I have the flag!" yelled Jo.

Bob was glad to spot the flag. "You are a pro, Jo!" he said. Jo passed the flag to Bob.

Bob held the flag up. Then, he yelled, "Ready, set, go!" and swung the flag fast!
