"No, no," said the little pig. "By the hair of my

in. "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow
your house in," said the wolf. So he huffed and
he puffed and he huffed and he puffed.

My Story Deeds
I have favorite toys like my Ski and favorite
foods like Honey sandwich. I may want these all
the time. I can use my communication device to
ask parents, friends, or Professor Kim for
something.
There are times when I want the attention of an
adult. If I am doing work and have a question or
need something, I can raise my hand and wait for
Professor Kim to call on me.
