• Willie and the Shark
• Willie waded into the water. Then a big wave
  knocked him over, and he began to swim. Suddenly,
  he saw a fin bobbing beside him. Willies heart
  began to beat faster and he swam quickly to
  shore. When he reached the sand again, he looked
  down. There at his feet was a plastic toy in the
  shape of a shark. Whew, he said, that was
  really a close one.
