Super Spy
Something exciting was going to happen after recess. Mrs. Bridge told the students to expect a surprise. No matter how much they asked what it was, Mrs. Bridge just smiled and said "wait and see."
Everyone was talking about it on the playground. "Do you think we're having ice cream?" asked Nick. Nick always hoped for ice cream.
"A movie!" said Mickey with a big smile. Everyone was guessing what the big surprise would be.
After everyone had shouted out their idea, Jay spoke up. "I know what it is," he said. "I'll give you a clue. It has feathers AND fur AND scales!" No one could guess what he was talking about!
After recess, everyone hurried back into the classroom and took their seats. Mrs. Bridge smiled and said, "Today, we have a treat. Miss Wren from the zoo is here. She has brought some special guests: a parrot, a tiger cub, and a snake."
Feathers and fur and scales! Jay was right! "How did you know?" Chandra asked him later. "It was easy," he said. "At recess, Mrs. Bridge was talking to another teacher across the playground. I read her lips!"
"Cool!" said Mickey, and everyone agreed.
