A RAINY DAY

It was a rainy day. The children could not go out to play. So Lucy, Zeny and Perla stayed in
the house. “Let us cut out paper fruits for our store said,” said Lucy. So the girls got their
paper, scissors and crayons. Lucy cut out 5 apples. She colored them red. Zeny cut out 6
mangoes. She colored them yellow. Perla cut out 4 guavas. She colored them green. Then
they counted their paper fruits.“ Now we have many pretty paper fruits for our store,” said
