Eve Saves Steve

Eve is a grebe. A grebe is like a duck.

Eve had some red rafts at the pond.

Steve came to the pond.

"Can I get on a raft?" asked Steve.

"Here, you can have these!" Eve said as she sent some rafts to Steve.

One raft made it on land. Steve got on and went in the pond.

He basked in the sun on the raft. Steve was glad to rest.

Then, Steve felt his legs get wet! He sat up fast!

The raft was sinking! "Help! Help!" yelled Steve.

Eve was close by. "How can I help?" she called to Steve.

"The raft is sinking!" he said. "But you are small. How can you help me?"

Eve got a rope and passed it to Steve. She held one side and yanked the raft.

Eve helped Steve get the raft back on land.

"That was a close call!" said Eve. "I think it is best if you rest on land!"

"Thank you!" Steve said to the grebe. "You are small, but you still helped me!"
