Omar and the Paper Boat

1After the rain, Omar found a big puddle in the yard. He had a little paper boat in his pocket. It was blue, and it had a white sail.

2Omar set the boat on the puddle. A soft wind came, and the boat began to glide. "Go, little boat!" he cheered. But then the boat stopped near a muddy rock.

3Omar did not want to get his shoes wet. He found a long stick instead. With the stick, he gave the boat a little push. Then the boat sailed all the way across the puddle.

4Omar smiled and said, "Good job, little boat!" Then he carried it home to dry.
