Hana Stacks the Cups

1Every Tuesday, Hana goes to Cup Stacking Club in the school gym. She builds a tall pyramid out of plastic cups. Then she takes it down as fast as she can.

2Today, Hana's pyramid began to topple. The top cups fell and rolled across the floor. "Oh no!" Hana said. "My hands are too fast."

3Mr. Abebe smiled. "Slow down because steady hands build strong towers," he said. Hana took a deep breath. She set each cup down gently.

4This time, the pyramid stood tall. Hana's friend Luca clapped for her. "I did it because I was patient!" Hana said.
