Wednesday: The end

Oliver the Owl blinks at the Story Stump. "I like a good ending," he says.

"The end tells how the problem is fixed," says Ferris the Fox.

"It also shows how the characters feel," adds Chris the Coyote.

Oliver pushes up his glasses. "Then let us read to the end."

Learn it: the end

The end is the last part of a story.

It tells how the problem is fixed.

It often shows how the characters feel now.

Ferris asks: How was the problem fixed? How do they feel?

Oliver's Lost Glasses
Oliver the Owl could not find his glasses.
He looked on his shelf and under his pillow.
He asked Lucy the Ladybug, "Have you seen my glasses?"
Lucy looked in the garden, but they were not there.
Donnie the Deer looked by the creek, but they were not there.
Oliver sat down on the Story Stump with a sigh.
Then Lucy flew up close and started to giggle.
"Oliver, your glasses are on top of your head!"
Oliver reached up and laughed. "Well, that is a surprise!"
He put them on and opened his favorite book.
"Now I can read again," he said happily.
