Lesson  2



                     Preparation


                 Traveling





                                                I love traveling.

                                                I like meeting new people and going to different
                                                places.

                                                I lay a map flat, close my eyes, and randomly point
                                                my finger to know which place to visit next.

                                                I toss a coin to decide which direction I should take.

                                                I meet a lot of new friends on the way.
                                                Traveling is such a great experience.
