Friday: Freddy's Why and Who game

Freddy the Frog hops onto the Story Stump in his bow tie.

"Ribbit! Game day!" says Freddy. "Let us play Why and Who."

"Why did they write it? Who is telling it?"

Donnie grins. "I am ready," he says softly.

Remember

Authors write to tell a story, to teach or to persuade.

The narrator is the one who tells the story.

I and me mean a character is telling it.
