Little Painters

It was holiday time. Peter and Jane

were in the garden. There were tins of
paint everywhere.
There was white paint and red paint and
green paint and blue paint and yellow paint.
The painters were busy. One painter was on
a ladder. Another was haging from the roof
on a swing. ‘Can we help?’ asked Peter and
Jane.
The painter gave each of them a brush.
‘Paint the inside of the gate,’ he said to
Peter.
‘Paint the outside of the gate,’ he said to
Jane.
They picked up two tins of paint and set to
work. Peter painted one side of the gate,
Jane painted the other side of the gate.
The paint fell on the ground.
The paint fell on the wall.
The paint fell on them.
At last they finished. They wiped off the

gate!’ cried the painter.

‘Let us keep it that way!’ said

Mother.
