Lesson 81 Sue’s diary: A day indoors
The other day
it rained heavily,
so we stayed indoors.
We made a puppet.
We used a sheet of paper,
some large corks¹
and some strings².
We worked busily
for two hours.
At last
the puppet was ready,.
We painted his face carefully.
Then Sandy pulled the strings
and our puppet danced.
He danced very well.
