The Garage Sale
1Priya and her dad are having a garage sale. Priya makes a word card for each thing on the long table. A good card tells two things. It names the group the thing belongs to, and it tells one special thing about it.
2Her first card says, "A bucket is a container that holds water." The next card says, "A hammer is a tool that hits nails." The card on the blue bike says, "A bike is a vehicle with two wheels." Neighbors read the cards and smile.
