Once upon a time, there was a little chip named Chip who loved to flip and do cool tricks. One day, Chip was walking by the beach when he saw a big ship sailing in the ocean. He decided to climb on top of the ship to show off his flips. But as soon as he reached the ship's deck, he slipped and lost his grip. He started to slip and slide, until finally, he dipped into the sea!
The water was cold and made Chip's lip quiver, but he was determined to get back on the ship. So, he swam as fast as he could, using all of his hip power. When he finally made it back to the ship, he was so proud of himself that he let out a big "drip!" And from that day forward, Chip was known as the bravest and coolest chip on the ocean.

Reflections

1. How did Chip feel when he dipped into the ocean?
2. What did Chip do to get back to the ship?
3. Why was Chip proud of himself at the end of the story?
4. Can you think of a different trick that Chip could have done on the ship?
5. If you were in Chip's place, would you have tried to swim back to the ship or would you have been too scared?
