It’s almost dinner time!
Quickly! Quickly! We need to make some goopy soup!
We can throw in many things . . .
One shiny penny,
Two prickly thorns,
Three fuzzy balls of yarn,
Four dirty rocks,
Five pieces of sticky candy,
Six jars of messy jelly,
Seven itsy-bitsy spiders,
Eight tiny crickets,
Nine yummy blueberries,
Ten fluffy kitty cats,
And twenty sticky stickers!
It’s fun to make an icky, sticky, goopy soup!

Let’s visit a spooky house!
But don’t worry—it’s just a silly, pretend place.
We hurry up the twisty path.
The night is dark and chilly.
We walk up the creaky stairs.
We open the squeaky door.
Watch out for the slippery floors!
Tiptoe down the spooky hall.
Ew! It’s smelly in here! 
What’s that? Water from the leaky roof?
Stop! I hear a freaky sound! 
Let’s scurry home! Hurry! 
That was a silly, scary house.
We are happy to be home!
