Read together

Learning hesitate, scavenger, deflated began on an ordinary morning. Someone noticed hesitate first, then scavenger,
and soon deflated became part of the plan.

They practiced carefully. "hesitate comes before scavenger," one learner said.
Another pointed to deflated and smiled. When ration appeared, everyone
paused to check the meaning once more.

By afternoon the group could use hesitate, scavenger, and deflated in short lines
without freezing. crawdad showed up in a joke; unruly closed
the page. The story of learning hesitate, scavenger, deflated was small, clear, and easy to retell. They said the key words once more, checked the meaning together, and ended with a calm line that made the practice easy to remember the next day.
