One day, Yak said, “Look

what I will do.”

“We will help,” said Cat
and Dog.
“Me, too,” said Fox.
4
“First, we get the egg,”
said Cat.
“Now, it’s time for the
milk,” said Fox.
“I can add it,” said Dog.
5
“What a mess!” said Yak.
“Who will help me clean?”
6
“I have to go home,”
said Cat.
“I have to go, too,”
said Dog.
Fox was the one who
helped Yak.
7
“You helped me,” said Yak.
“You can eat this.”
“Thank you,” said Fox.
8
“What do you like best?”
asked Yak.
“I like the jam!” said Fox.
