Kip Is Bored

It was a bright morning in the park. Kip wanted to play with Bird. But she was away looking for worms.

“ I’m bored, ” said Kip. “ I have nobody to play with. ”

“ Maybe I’ll collect acorns, ” said Kip. Kip did that for a little while. Soon he was bored again. “ What else can I look for?” wondered Kip.

Kip found a rusty can. He found an old shoe. And he found a slimy banana peel. “ Yuck, ” said Kip.

Then Kip found something very strange . . . Kip found a person!

But this was not a big person. It was a small person. She was as small as Kip.
