Jake and Jackie Learn about Mailing a Package
By Beth Beutler 		  
1     "What are you doing, Dad?" Jake had just walked out to the garage, where his father was working with a cardboard box and some bubble wrap.
 
2     "Mom asked me to get this package ready for your cousin Justine," Dad explained.
 
3     "Is that the one having the baby soon?"
 
4     "That's right. Mom cannot go to the baby shower, so she is sending out these gifts."
 
5     Jackie knocked on the side of the garage.
 
6     "Hi there!"
 
7     "Hi, Jackie, what's up?"
 
8     "Nothing much. Just came over to see if you wanted to play catch or something. What are you doing?"
 
9     "Dad's getting a package ready for our cousin who is having a baby."
 
10     "Ooo, how fun!" Jackie skipped over and began to pick up all the cute little items Jake's mom had picked out.
