Block City

1Kofi and Ana love blocks. On Saturday, they build a big city on the rug. Kofi is careful with every tall tower. Ana picks colorful blocks for the roofs.

2Then the cat runs by, and crash! The city falls down. Kofi feels unhappy. "Do not worry," says Ana. "We can rebuild it."

3First, Ana is helpful and picks up the red blocks. The sky outside is cloudless, so the sun shines on the rug. Next, they restack the towers. Kofi is more careful now.

4Soon the new city is tall and bright. The cat sits and watches, and Kofi smiles.
