Horizons B: Lesson 31
A Clam Named Ann
1. Clams seem to have a big smile, but some clams are not happy. One sad clam was named Ann. Why was she sad? She did not like to stay in the sand with other clams.
2. Ann said, “Why can’t I swim with the otters?” Her mom said, “That’s silly. Otters eat clams. They don’t swim with clams.”
3. One day, a shark was swimming near the clams. A little otter was swimming near the clams, too. The little otter did not see the shark.
4. As the otter came to close to Ann, she opened her shell and yelled, “Shark, shark. Hide, hide.”
5. The little otter hid in the weeds, and the shark went away. The next day, the otter came back. She said to the clam, “Thank you for saving me. What can I do in return?”
6. You know what Ann said, and you know what they did. So if you see an otter swimming with a clam on its tail, you will know who they are.

4. At last, he went from the waves on to the beach. “Wasn’t that fun?” He asked Beth. “No,” she said. “Now let’s get Tim and go home.”

3. “Wow,” Bob said, “Am I ever happy to see you.” Beth said, “Yes, I’m happy too. But we are late. Let’s go home.”
4. So the three pals got in the van and drove home. Bob’s dad met them as they drove up. Was Bob’s dad happy? No.

Horizons B: Lesson 37
The Bragging Rats
1. A pack of rats lived on a farm. Their home was not far from the pond. There were two rats in the pack who made the other rats mad. These two rats did a lot of bragging and yelling at each other.
2. They did not agree on which rat was the best at throwing, or which rat was the fastest at eating. These rats told a lot of lies. The other rats called them bragging rats.
3. One time, the bragging rats did not agree on which rat was the fastest swimmer. One rat said, “I can swim so fast that I pass up seals and otters.” The other rat said, “I can swim so fast I don’t get wet.”
4. As the two rats were bragging, it started to rain. The bragging rats slipped into the pond. They were not able to get out.
5. One rat said, “Help. This pond is too deep for me.” The other rats said, “We will help you get out, but you must stop saying how well you swim.”
6. The bragging rats agreed. After that, they never bragged about how well they swam. But they bragged about a lot of other things.

A Home in the Zoo – Part One
1. A goose and a moose were pals. They lived in a forest. Every day, they did the same thing. They went to the pond.
2. The moose went into the pond and ate weeds while the goose swam. Then they got out of the pond and sat in the grass.
3. Soon they went back into the pond. At the end of the day, they went home.
4. One day, the goose said to the moose, “I’m getting sick of doing the same thing every day. We meet the same moles and the same birds. We go to the same pond. We need to do something different.
5. The moose said, “Why don’t we go live in a zoo?” The goose said, “That is a fine plan. Let’s call a zoo and tell them that we plan to live there.”
6. So the goose called the zoo and told the zoo keeper what they were thinking. The zoo keeper told them, “We have no room for another goose and another moose.”

A Home in the Zoo _ Part 2
1. After the goose called the zoo, the moose was very sad. “I want to go to a zoo,” he said. “Why can’t we live in a zoo?”
2. The goose said, “You know, I can go to that zoo. All I need to do is fly there and land in the pond with the other birds.
3. The moose said, “Yes, that’s easy for you to do. But I can’t fly. So how can I get there?”
4. The moose and the goose started to think, and they kept thinking all morning. By noon they were still thinking.
5. Then the goose saw something in the pond. It was a floating leaf. And on that leaf were two little bugs. They were sailing on that leaf.
6. The goose said, “Do you see those bugs on that leaf?” They are show us how to get to the zoo.” The moose asked, “Do you mean we are going to flat on a leaf?” “No,” the goose said. “We will float there, but not on a leaf.
