Superhero Rohit
Rohit put on his mask. He flapped his cape in front of the mirror. This is the best
costume, he thought. I'm sure to win the contest. Rohit skipped downstairs.
"Here I come to rescue you!" Rohit shouted.
"Nice costume," said Rohit’s dad. "I'm a superhero," said Rohit.
"Rohit," said Mom, "I need you to watch Neha at the party." Rohit looked at his
little sister. "But Mom, superheroes don't have kid sisters."
"Well this superhero has a sister," said Mom.
"What will Neha's costume be?" asked Dad.
"I'm not sure," said Mom.
