Princess Willow's First Night Camping
Read the story carefully. Then answer each question in your best handwriting.
Princess Willow set up her tent right next to a tall pine tree. Her friend Iris helped her pound in the stakes. The sun was beginning to dip behind the mountains, and the air felt cool on Willow's cheeks.
After dinner, Willow and her friends gathered around a small campfire. Briar roasted marshmallows for everyone. The fire crackled and popped, sending tiny orange sparks up into the sky.
When it grew dark, Willow looked up. She had never seen so many stars in her whole life. They sparkled like glitter spilled across a black blanket. Iris pointed out the Big Dipper, and Briar made up names for the new ones.
Inside her warm sleeping bag, Willow listened to the wind in the trees and a faraway owl. Tomorrow they would hike to the lake. But tonight, just being here, surrounded by friends and stars, felt like the best adventure of all.
