Look-and-Say words

Sound-and-Say words

1. Once upon a time, Ann and Nell went for a picnic by the creek.

It was a hot day and they sat down to rest in the shade of the trees.

2. "Do you hear a noise, Nell?" said Ann. "Yes, I can hear a voice," said Nell.

3. Just then, they saw a wee elf. "Will you join my mates and me?" he said.

4. "We are so big. Do you think we shall spoil your fun?" said Ann.

5. "No," said the elf, "for I can make you just as tiny as myself."

Oh, please do! said Nell.

6. "Come down to our dell for we do not like to play on this soil," he said.

7. Off they ran with the elf, to join his mates.

8. "When toil is done, we have our fun," sang the elf.

9. They had much fun till the sun went down, when Nell and Ann had to go home.

10. "I shall point out the way for you," said the elf.

Thank you, dear elf, for the fun, they said.
