第4章 Lesson 3 Look at the Sky

Sometimes, on a nice day, my friend and I like to lie on the grass and look up at the sky. We can see birds and airplanes and clouds.

Some clouds are soft and fluffy. Some are thin and wispy. Some clouds float away on the wind. Some clouds grow bigger when we watch them.

We think we can see big ships and whales. Then we close our eyes. When we open our eyes we see kittens and puppies. We watch the kittens and puppies run away. Looking at clouds is a lot of fun!
