101. 1st Grade SSR : The Hurt Bird

One day, Clark played in his yard. He ran fast to get his kite to go up in the sky. Then Clark saw something stir in the grass. He got on his knees to look. A bird peeked up at him! It started to hop but did not fly away. It seemed weak. “It might be hurt,” Clark said to himself. “I’ll go get Dad.”

​

Clark ran as fast as he could. He ran up the porch steps to the back door and burst into the house.

“Dad!” he shouted. “Quick!”

Clark waited until he saw his father. Then he blurted out, “Dad, I found a hurt bird in the backyard!”

Clark knocked on Barb’s door.

“Hi, Barb,” said Dad. “Clark has a hurt bird. Can you help it, please?”

“I hope so,” said Barb. “Let me take a quick peek.” It was hard for Clark to wait for Barb to check the bird. He wanted an answer fast!
