Tilly and the Wobbly Top

1Grandpa gave Tilly a red wooden top. "Wind the string around it," he said. "Then pull the string fast."

2Tilly tried. The top fell over with a clunk. She tried again. It wobbled and rolled under the couch.

3Tilly felt like giving up. Grandpa smiled. "Hold your hand low, close to the floor," he said.

4Tilly bent down low. She pulled the string hard. Zip! The top spun and spun on the kitchen floor. Tilly clapped. "Now I can teach my friends at recess!" she said.
