Billy: Hi, Becky. Yes, your flowers are very pretty.

Becky: Billy, is that your new red wagon?

Billy: Yes, Becky. I got it for my birthday.

Becky: Billy, can we put my flowers in your wagon? We can take them home.

Billy: Yes, Becky. Put them in.

Becky: Billy, can Gingerbread Girl get in too? She can hold them so they won't blow out of the wagon.

Billy: Yes, Gingerbread Girl can get in. Hop in Gingerbread Girl.

Becky: Billy, can you give Gingerbread Girl a fast ride? Can you run and pull the wagon? I will run along with you.

Billy: Yes, I can run with the wagon. Let's have some fun! Hold on tight, Gingerbread Girl. Here we go!

There are so many ways to make reading fun. Reading a play is one way. My kids in my first grade class are learning these scripts and will be putting a Becky and Billy play on for parents on Valentine's Day. We'll be serving gingerbread cookies and candy hearts. Why not write a Billy and Becky running play? We'll try to print a few. Email carol.kids@rodale.com We love to get graphics too. And thanks to Katie B. for the cat.

Send your stories to carol.kids@rodale.com. Keep running and stay healthy!
