Who's to Blame?

[Song] “Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life.  Let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life.”

Today I want to teach you teach you three new words.

Do you know what “dice” are?  Dice are six-sided cubes.  Usually they are made of plastic or wood.  One side of the cube has one dot on it, another side has two dots, another side three dots, and so on… up through six dots.  People often use dice when they play games.  The dice choose a number between one and six.  A person rolls the dice, but the person does not know what number will be on top of the dice until the dice stops moving. 

The second word is “rough”.  Rough is the opposite of smooth.  Something that is rough has a surface that is bumpy or uneven.  Sandpaper is rough.  A cat’s tongue is rough.  The bark of a tree is rough.  An apple is not rough. 

Story 8: The Blame Game

Today I want to teach you three words.

The first word is call.  Call rhymes with ball and all.  Can you say “call”?  Call.  Call.  To call is to try to speak to someone who is not nearby.  If you are close to me, I can speak to you, but I don’t call you.  A mother calls her children to come into the house for supper.  A girl walks through the forest, calling to her lost cat.  My friend in China called me on Skype last week.
