Once upon a time, a ladybug noticed a
house with a door opening and a man was
leaving the house, so the ladybug flew into
the house. On its way in it almost bumped
into a woman who was heading out. The
woman walked out the door and slammed it
shut. Oops, the ladybug was stuck inside!
The ladybug didn’t care at first. It looked
around and explored. It flew into the kitchen
where it nibbled on a few crumbs it found on
the table. It also licked a spot of maple syrup
it found on the table. Then, it flew to the
bedroom and slept soundly.
When the ladybug woke up, it was
already night. It heard the door slamming
shut and saw the man and the woman
walking in. Then, it waited until they went to
bed and fell asleep.
The ladybug decided to do an activity. It
thought of a place to hide where it wouldn’t
be seen, but it also needed an object that the
man or woman would take with them when
they left the house.
Then, it noticed the man’s hat. “That
would be a perfect place,” it thought. “I can
hide inside the hat. Hopefully he won’t wear
his hat really hard and squash me.” Then, it
crawled to the topmost part of the hat and
waited till the morning.
The ladybug sighed with relief when the
man took the hat and gently placed it on his
head. Then, it realized. How was it going to
get out from under the hat unless the man
took it off? The ladybug wanted to return to
its family. So, the ladybug jumped on the
man’s bald head and started tickling him on
his scalp. The man felt his head starting to
itch and took his hat off to scratch it. At that
very moment the ladybug was ready and it
flew to freedom. “Free at last!” it cried.
Then, it flew back home to its very worried
family.

was so concentrated on its running that it
didn’t notice a thing.
After having sprinted as fast as it
could for a few minutes, Fox stopped and
turned round. It laughed. Frog was nowhere

race; all it had to do now was saunter along
at a gentle pace. All the time Frog was
hanging on to Fox’s tail, unobserved.

won! I’ve won!” Fox was incandescent with
rage. “You cheat! You slimy spotty little
cheat!” Frog just laughed. “I was first to
cross the line,” it said, “You lost!” Fox
turned to Duck, but Duck (30) ________
