Phonics Fact
The letter i is a vowel.
A vowel can make a
short sound. The short-i
sound is found in words
such as pink, pig, and
Kim. What other short-i
words can you find in
this story? Look at the
pictures, too!
Once upon a time, there lived a little pink pig.

Her name was Kim.

I wish
I looked
different.
Kim did not like being little or pink. And she

really did not like the dimple in her chin.

One day, Kim met a fairy named Jill.

“I will give you six wishes,” said Fairy Jill.

Yippee!
“Yippee!” said Kim.

She slipped a wish list from her purse.

Yippee!
Phonics Fact
Sometimes a word can have
more than one short-i sound,
as in zippity.
“My first wish is to be big like a hippo,” said Kim.

Zippity zip! Fairy Jill did it!

Yippee!
“My second wish is to have green skin like a

lizard,” said Kim.

Yippee!
“My third wish is to have thick feathers like a

chicken,” said Kim.

Yippee!
“My fourth wish is to have a swishy tail like a

fish,” said Kim.

Yippee!
“My fifth wish is to have a cute chin like a

chimp,” said Kim.
10
Ick!
Kim looked in the silver mirror.

“Ick! I’m so mixed up,” cried Kim. “I think
I miss the old me!”
11
I’ve got it!
Then Kim remembered! She still had one wish

left to fix her mistake.
12
I missed
this dimple!
“My sixth wish is to be me again,” said

Kim with a grin.
13
Hip, Hip
Hooray!
Kim was so thrilled to be a little pink pig with

a dimple in her chin that she did a big jig!
And Kim never wished to be different again.
