The Missing
String Beans
by Ming Chin Yeeillustrated by Diane Palmisciano
Detective Split strode up to Susie Sprout. She stated, “I hear that you have a big problem now.”
“It’s my string beans!” howled Susie Sprout. “My string beans are missing!”
2
Detective Split scratched her head and frowned. “Tell me about this string bean problem.”
Susie Sprout cried, “I came out to sprinkle my pretty plants. I saw that just one little green bean was left!”
3
Detective Split scrawled notes on her pad. She said, “I see brown tracks that go to the stream. Let’s take a stroll and see if the robber is there.” So that’s what they did.
4
At the stream Susie Sprout screamed, “Step back. Look out for the mud!” But Detective Split slipped, and her body landed with a wet splash.
Detective Split cried, “I see no string beans in here.”
5
At home, young Steve Sprout streaked from the house. He said, “Dad invited Detective Split to stay with our family for string bean soup.”
Detective Split jotted, “Case closed,” and said, “Splendid!”

by Mel Rabinillustrated by Stacey Schuett
Joy tells the best jokes of any girl or boy in the class. No one can hear Joy’s jokes without laughing.
Just last week Joy was hanging out with several friends. The group was having a lot of fun.
8
“I don’t want to spoil a good time,” Joy said, “but I just had an idea. Let’s plan a show! I can tell jokes, Beth can play drums, and Troy can sing!”
The kids all started to speak at the same time. It was so noisy!
9
Troy and I put up posters, and lots of kids asked to join the show. Mr. Floyd said that he would help.
On the day of the show, it rained and the wind blew. When it was time to start, Joy and her family weren’t there! Beth played her drums, Troy sang, but still Joy did not show up!
10
“Joy! Joy! We want Joy’s jokes!” the kids chanted.
“Where is she?” Mr. Floyd asked.Then a boy pointed at the door.
There stood Joy! She dripped with rain, but she was all set to make us laugh!
11
Boy, did the kids laugh and make noise at Joy’s jokes! Mr. Floyd clapped, too.
The show was a big hit because of Joy and a lot of fun kids!

Soon theNorth Wind Blew
by Maureen Shurillustrated by Anna Vojtech
One day the North Wind and the Sun talked about which was stronger.
“Don’t be foolish, Sun,” said the Wind. “Did you forget about the time I blew off that roof during a storm?” he asked. “It is true. I am much stronger.”
14
“But did you forget about the time I dried up all the water to make that desert?” said the Sun. “I’m sure I am truly stronger.”
This went on morning, noon, and night. The Moon heard it all and grew sick of it.
15
“I have a plan,” said the Moon.
The Moon was wise, so the Wind and the Sun said they would hear her plan.
“Do you see that man in the suit?” asked the Moon. “The stronger of you will get him to take off his coat. That will be the proof we need.”
16
The North Wind went first. He blew a strong wind from above. It was so strong that fruit blew off the fruit trees! But that only made the man grasp his coat tighter.
17
Next the Sun shone down on the man. Soon the man was oozing with heat and sat down to rest. He took a rock out of his shoe and then walked on. But soon he was so hot that he threw off his coat.
18
“Well,” said the Moon, “I watched the whole thing. I think we have a winner. The Sun is stronger than the North Wind.”
The North Wind was in a bad mood. There was only one thing that would make him feel good.
19
He took in a few deep gulps of air and blew with all his might. He blew and blew till the man’s coat blew out of sight!

Flip and Spots
Flip and Spots, two seal pups, were swimming in the sea. The pups were swimming just below the top of the water.
Then Flip popped his head out of the water to look around.
22
“Let’s go on the rocks,” Flip said to Spots. “It would feel good to lie in the sun.”
Both pups climbed on the rocks. “Look,” Spots said. “The people from the city are looking at us.”
23
“We should do tricks,” Spots said. “I can do a trick with this ball. I own it. I gave Fin Whale three fish for it.”
Spots set the ball on her nose. It did not roll off. “Wow!” Flip said. “I wish I could do that.”
24
Then Flip yelled to the people, “Look at me.” He shook his head. He slapped the water with a flipper.
“Look at us,” Spots shouted. Then both pups rolled over with their flippers in the air.
25
The people clapped. So the pups rolled over again. The people cheered. So the pups rolled over five more times!
“You are so cute!” a girl cried. The pups smiled and bowed.

Paul Saw Arctic Foxes
by Maryann Dobeckillustrated by Bob Dacey
Paul yawned and crawled out of bed at dawn. As he ate his toast, he saw the sunrise. He did not have time for a complete meal.
Paul grabbed his coat and his camera. He walked out into the cold, treeless Arctic land.

When Paul was a boy, he saw a TV show about Arctic foxes. That launched Paul’s study of the foxes. He had a lot of questions about them.
As a grown man, Paul’s job was to study animals and take pictures of them in the wild.
29
It was spring, but it was still cold and raw outside. Paul’s job taught him that Arctic days might be fine or awful.
Paul had good luck. He glanced below and saw what he was looking for—Arctic foxes and their cubs.
30
The mother fox watched her cubs eat. The father fox had caught food for them. The cubs chewed on the meat.
Paul could not measure for sure, but he thought the foxes were 20 feet away. He hauled out his camera and took a picture.
31
The little foxes yawned and looked sleepy. Soon they would crawl back into the den.
It was time for Paul to go to his home in the city. He had pictures to print! Those pictures would help him study the life of the Arctic foxes.
