Once upon a time, there was a silly crow named Wally who loved to collect shiny objects. One day he saw a pretty mug with a bow on it, and he decided to add it to his collection. But when he tried to carry it away, he noticed that it was attached to a rose bush. The bush had ten roses on it and Wally didn't want to pick the roses so he thought of another plan. He filled a jug with water and watered the roses until the mug came loose. Wally was very proud of himself for finding a solution without hurting the flowers. He took his shiny new mug and flew off into the sky, cawing with joy. The end.

Reflections

1. What was Wally's goal in the story?
2. How did Wally get the mug?
3. Did Wally hurt any of the roses in the process?
4. Why was Wally proud of himself?
5. What did Wally do after he got the mug?
