The Sock Puppet Show

1Tara planned a puppet show with her friend Diego. Tara made a bear from a sock, and Diego made a fox from a sock. They wanted a stage, but they did not have one.

2Diego said, "We can use a big box, or we can use a chair." They picked the box. Tara set it on a table. The room was dark, so Diego turned on a lamp.

3The show was short, but the class loved it. Everyone clapped because the fox's dance was funny.

Read the first sentence of paragraph 3. Underline the joining word.
