1. Story
¢ºcover
Look at this building. it's a swimming pool.
Kipper's mum and children are going there.

¢º1page
Where are they now?--they are in the pool, wearing swimming suits.
they look so excited, don't they?--yes.
and Kipper is going into the pool now. what is wearing around his arms?--mmm
he put on a float in his each arm because he is the youngest child here.

¢º2-3pages
Look, what is on the pool?--the floating duck is on the pool. it's so big.
Wilma climbed on the duck, using the net on it.

¢º4-5pages
Wilma said " hey, Get on the duck, it is so fun!!"
So Wilf climbed on the duck next.

¢º6-7pages
Wilf said " Hey, Chip, you get on, too. it's your turn. come on!! "
So Chip climbed on, too.

¢º8-9pages
Now how many children are there on the floating duck?--three.
Do you think it's ok?-yes/ no
look, this duck started to rock sideways.
Anyway, Chip asked Biff to get on the duck and she climbed on.

¢º10-11pages
Now there are four children on the duck. I think no more children should be on it because it seems to be turned over soon.
But Biff said to him," Kipper, get on now."
but Kipper was too young to get on himself.

¢º12-13pages
Everyone cheered Kipper, saying "Kipper, you can do it! come on!! we will help you get on. hold our hands, here, here!!!"
But Kipper still couldn't get on and said " oh no!! I can't. please help me!!"
¢º14-15pages
Everyone keep saying "Get on, Kipper!" and finally Kipper climbed on.
"Good job, Kipper!! that's my boy!!" shouted mum. she looks so happy, doesn't she?

¢º16page
Oh NO!! the floating duck was turned over and everyone sank under the water!
why did it happen?-because too many people got on the duck at once.
can you guess how they feel then?--scared
Maybe or maybe not, they might be a little scared, but I guessed it must be so much fun.
