Reading
Puddle Jumping Martin ran into the school yard. He shouted, “Hooray!” Then he jumped in a puddle and splashed Jaydon. “Stop it!” shouted Jaydon. Martin didn’t stop. He jumped in the puddle again. “Come on, Jaydon,” he shouted. Jaydon said, “No. I don’t want to get my books wet.” “It’s fun!” Martin shouted. “I don’t want to get my clothes dirty,” said Jaydon. Martin laughed. “I don’t want to get into trouble,” said Jaydon. Suddenly, Martin stopped jumping. “Why did you stop?” asked Jaydon. “The teacher is
coming,” said Martin. “My books are wet. My clothes are dirty and I’m going to get into trouble.”
