Ted and Nina live in a white house. The house has green blinds and a red chimney. Around the house there is a fence with a gate in it.
There is a big tree near the gate.
The house where Ted and Nina lives stands on a hill.
One day Ted was very busy. Ted was making an airplane.
The airplane was really an old box.
Nina was very busy too. Nina was putting her dolly to sleep. Nina's Mama had made her dolly. The dolly's name is Satisfied. Nobody know why. It just is.
Suddenly, Nina heard Mother call, "Nina!"
Ted heard Mother call, "Ted!"
They were both so busy that Mother had to call again.
