Story: An Egg on the Top
2nd English | Term 3 | Unit 2: People Who Help Us
There is an egg on the top.
Who can win the egg?
I am fast.
I am the best. I can run to the top.
You cannot win, yells the ox.
I am quick.
I am the best.
I can win.
I can hop to the top, yells the rat.
You can run, you can hop.
But you cannot win.
I will win as I have a jet, yells the hen.
Yes, I got the egg, says the hen.
Oh no! The egg cracks.
What is it?
Ah! A dragon.
Where is my jet?, says the hen.
The egg is yours!
You have your dragon.
We will have your jet, say the ox and the rat.
They both fly away.
