Billy had a blue bike, which was the best bike in the whole town. One sunny day, he decided to ride it to the lake. As he sped down the path, a small bird flew down and tried to bind its tiny feet to the bike’s handle, but it quickly flew away when Billy blew a gentle breeze towards it. Near the lake, Billy met his friend Ben who was fixing his boat. Ben had a problem with the boat’s body. It had a big hole. Billy helped him by using a bill from his wallet to temporarily patch it. Later, as they relaxed and ate sandwiches, a mischievous squirrel tried to bite into Billy’s lunch, but he shooed it away. Billy and Ben spent the rest of the afternoon sailing on the lake, enjoying the cool, blue waters.
