Becky and Billy
Red


by Carol Goodrow

Becky: Hello, Billy.

Billy: Hello, Becky.

Becky: Billy, you look red. Are you red because it is Valentine's Day?

Billy: No, Becky. I am red because I have been running.

Becky: How far did you run, Billy?

Billy: I ran five blocks, Becky.

Becky: I see your bag, Billy. Did you run all the way to the candy store?

Billy: Yes, Becky. I ran to the candy store.

Becky: I have a little card for you, Billy. Here it is.

Billy: Thank you, Becky. Here, Becky, this is for you.

Becky: Oh, it's three candy hearts. One is white chocolate, one is milk chocolate, and I see a red sugar heart. Are they all for me?

Billy: Yes, Becky, they are all for you.

Becky: Billy, can we give the red sugar heart to the gingerbread girl? We can stick it on her with frosting.

Billy: Yes, Becky. We can do that with the red sugar heart.

Becky: Oh, thank you, Billy! Thank you! Let's run and find her now.

Billy: Yes, Becky, let's run. Let's run and find your gingerbread girl.

Becky and Billy: Happy Valentine's Day!
