0 1 2
Now you are going to listen to the story. Listen carefully because I am going to ask you some questions about the story. Are you ready?
A few days ago, Carlos was riding his new black bike on the sidewalk. He rode up and down the sidewalk in front of his house.
When Carlos rode past his neighbor’s house, he started going down a big hill. Then Carlos’ bike hit a bump in the sidewalk. He fell off his bike and injured his arm. Carlos cut his arm on the rough ground.
Carlos was sad.
He picked up his bike and slowly walked home. He found his mom and said, “Mommy, I fell and injured myself. My arm is cut.”
His mom gently cleaned his cut. Then she put a bandage on his arm. After Carlos got a bandage, his mom gave him a hug. He asked his mom if she would watch him ride his new bike. She said, “Of course. I want to watch you, but don’t injure yourself again.” Carlos rode his bike so well that his mom clapped and cheered for him.
Thanks for listening. Now I am going to ask you some questions.
