Look-and-Say words

Sound-and-Say words

1. "Are all the ports packed, Mother?" said Dad. "Yes," said Mother, "this is the last one."

2. With Ned's help, Dad put them in the car.

3. Then off he drove out into the bush with Mother, the twins, and Ned, to camp near a creek.

4. Ned went to chop trees for tent-poles. The twins, Joan and Meg, took the pail to the creek to fill it. Dad lit the fire, and Mother set out the lunch.

5. When lunch was over, Dad put up the tents near big gum-trees.

6. "Do let us wade in the creek, please," said the twins. Then away they went to float the leaves which fell from the trees.

7. What fun they had! Each day they woke, as the sun rose, to hear the glad call of the birds.

8. They were sad when the time came for them to go home.

9. "Cheer up!" said Dad. "We shall come back to camp here, next year."
