Thursday: A lantern story
Chris the Coyote sits on a log by the pond.
"Tonight I will tell a story with puzzles," he says.
"Listen for the missing numbers."
Story: The lanterns on the trail
Riley hung 10 lanterns along the trail.
A soft wind came by.
Some lanterns went dark. Only 6 still glowed.
Bennie and Riley walked the trail together.
They lit the dark lanterns again, one by one.
Then Riley found 2 more lanterns in his bag.
The red counters are lanterns that glowed. The gold ones went dark.
