## Story

Page 1: Bobo the little red boat floated on a still, silver pond.
Page 2: All morning, he waited for a breeze to fill his white sail.
Page 3: The ducks swam by. The dragonflies darted by. No wind came.
Page 4: Bobo sighed. "Will I ever sail?" he asked the quiet pond.
Page 5: Then a duckling named Dot paddled over, looking tired.
Page 6: "Can I rest on your deck?" asked Dot, with a sleepy yawn.
Page 7: Bobo said yes, and Dot curled up, safe and warm, on his deck.
Page 8: Just as Dot fell asleep, a soft breeze began to stir. It was gentle, and it was just strong enough to sail.
Page 9: Bobo sailed slowly across the pond, careful not to wake his guest.
Page 10: At sunset, Bobo smiled. Waiting had brought him a friend and a sail.
