Lulu and the Big Tire

One day Lulu was reading a book. And in the book there was a child who was swinging on a rope and tire swing. Lulu thought that was very clever. She wanted to try and make one, but she needed some help. Lulu decided to go and tell Sally her idea. Lulu got on her bicycle and rode to Sally's home. 


When Lulu arrived at Sally's place, Sally was having lunch. Sally invited Lulu to have lunch with her. Lulu said yes and sat down at the table. Sally's daddy was making tomato soup, and also grilled cheese sandwiches. Lulu and Sally each got a bowl of soup, and a plate of half a sandwich. Lulu cut up her grilled cheese sandwich into small pieces. 


And she used a fork to dip each piece of the cut up sandwich all the way in the soup. That way each small piece of sandwich was completely covered with tomato soup. Sally chose to eat bites of her sandwich in between eating spoonfuls of soup. When they were done eating lunch, they cleaned up the dishes and put them away. 


Then Lulu told Sally that she read about a big tire being used as a tire swing. And Lulu wanted to make one at the park. Sally thought that sounded great. Sally got ready to go with Lulu, and took her bicycle out. Lulu wondered where they could find a big tire. And Sally said that they could try at the car repair shop. 


Then Lulu and Sally rode their bicycles down the street. They arrived at the car repair shop and they talked to the mechanic. They told him that they wanted to make a tire swing, and they needed a big tire. The mechanic told them that he had a big tire that he took off the wheel from a huge truck. 


And he said that he didn't need the big tire anymore, because it had been replaced. Lulu and Sally needed a way to bring the tire to the park. The mechanic had a small cart which he let Lulu and Sally borrow. Lulu attached the cart to the back of her bicycle, and then she and Sally put the big tire onto the cart. 


Then Lulu and Sally rode their bicycles to the park. When they arrived at the park, they pushed the tire off the cart. Then they rolled it over to a tree, and under a large branch. Now they needed some rope. Sally said she had some rope at home, and she quickly rode her bicycle home, and got some rope, and brought it back. Now Lulu and Sally needed some help lifting the tire swing up off the ground. 


There were some other kids playing at the playground in the park. Lulu and Sally went over to those kids and said they were making a tire swing and they needed the kids to help them. The other kids went over to the tree. Lulu tied one end of the rope around the tire. Then they kids lifted the tire. 


And Sally climbed up the tree and tied the other end of the rope to the large branch. Now the tire swing was ready. Lulu sat in the middle of the tire, and Sally pushed her from behind. The other kids all clapped their hands and cheered Lulu on. As Lulu swung back and forth, the knot she tied with the rope on the tire became loose. 


Then as she swung forward again, the big tire came off the rope. The big tire started rolling across the park, and Lulu tucked her arms and legs into the middle of the tire. Sally saw the tire rolling away, and quickly got on her bicycle and followed Lulu. The big tire with Lulu in it started rolling down a hill, and was going faster. 


Sally quickly rode next to the big tire and tried to stop it. Then the big tire bumped on a rock, and started to bounce off the ground. Finally the tire and Lulu bounced into a sandbox, and tipped over. Lulu was dizzy and glad Sally was there. Sally helped Lulu get out of the big tire. 


Lulu sat down, and Sally went to bring Lulu's bike on the cart over to Lulu. Then Lulu said that she needed to go home and rest, but she didn't feel well enough to ride her bicycle. Sally said that Lulu could sit on the cart and Sally would pull her back home. Lulu agreed and put her own bicycle on the cart behind Sally's bicycle. 


Then Sally rode to Lulu's home and helped Lulu get inside. Sally left, to bring the cart back to the mechanic at the car repair shop. Lulu put her bicycle away, and had a drink of water. Then she decided to take a nap and rest. Lulu laid down, closed her eyes, and went to sleep, slowly slowly slowly.

Hidden under hats

One day Lulu was getting ready for her friends Sally and Jimmy to come over and have lunch together. While getting ready, Lulu decided to wear a hat today. So she went to the closet and picked out a nice hat. It was a red knit hat with a puff ball on top.  Lulu liked how it looked on her, and then she picked out a book to read while she waited for her friends. Sally arrived first, and when she knocked on the door, Lulu answered it. Lulu smiled when she saw Sally, because Sally was also wearing a hat.  She was wearing a brown knit hat, and it was just round on top, with no puff ball like Lulu’s hat. Sally came in and saw Lulu wearing a hat, and Sally said it was funny that they were both wearing hats today. Then Sally picked out a book to read with Lulu, while they waited for Jimmy.  After a few minutes, Jimmy arrived and knocked on the door. Lulu answered it, and smiled again when she saw Jimmy, because today Jimmy was also wearing a hat. Jimmy had an orange knit hat, wit...

The changing colors

One day Lulu was going for a walk. When she got to the park, she saw a small dog running around a man. The man had a red ball. He was throwing the ball, and the dog was chasing the ball. Then the dog would grab the ball in its mouth and bring it back to the man. Lulu watched them doing this for a few minutes. Then the man threw the ball very far. And Lulu saw the red ball roll under some bushes and they couldn’t see it. The dog ran under the bushes to chase it, and they couldn’t see the dog. And then the dog came back holding a purple ball in its mouth. How did that happen? The man was confused. Then he threw the purple ball towards the bushes, and the purple ball rolled under the bushes and they couldn’t see it. Again the dog ran under the bushes to chase the purple ball. And they couldn’t see the dog through the bushes for a minute. Then the dog came out of the bushes, and was holding the red ball in its mouth. Lulu wondered how that happened again. And the man was also confused. Why...

Lulu Makes Food Art

One day Lulu was helping her daddy clean up after lunch. They had eaten some salad, and there was a bag of broccoli on the kitchen counter. Lulu looked at the broccoli and thought it looked like something else. She opened the bag of broccoli and took out one small piece of broccoli. She looked at it closely and then realized that it looked like a tiny tree. Then Lulu had a funny idea.  She wanted to make a small display of things on a piece of cardboard. Lulu got some glue out and started with the piece of broccoli. She glued the broccoli to the cardboard. Now it looked like there was a small tree on the cardboard. Then Lulu got one of her blocks and drew some small squares on it.  Then she glued that block to the cardboard. The block looked like a little building, with the drawn squares made to look like windows. Then Lulu got one of her toy cars and glued that to the cardboard. And she got out a marker and drew long lines on the cardboard, in front of and behind the toy car....
