                     Mouse,  Rabbit,  and  Opossum  are

                     hungry.  They  w ant dinner but their

                     food  is  boring  because  they  eat the

                     same  food  every  day.  Mouse  eats

                     fruit,  Opossum  eats  vegetables,  and


                     Rabbit eats  carrots.  They  have  an

                     idea.  They  take  their food  to  Mouse's

                     house.  They  now  have three  different

                     foods  for dinner.  They're  happy!




                 1  It's good to share things.


                 2  We should eat the same food every day.



          O   Look at the pictures on pages R8-RR.
