BONGI AND HER FRIENDS BUILD A TREE HOUSE Today the children decided to make a tree house. Ann brings some long planks and Jabu brings some long nails, a thick rope and some heavy tools. They want to build a house in the big green tree in Bongi’s garden. Bongi’s dad helps them to cut the wood and nail it to the strong branches. They tie the thick rope to a branch, so that they can climb up into the tree. “This will be a good place to sit and read.” Ann says excitedly. “Yes!” said Jabu with delight. “On the weekend I will bring my computer games and sit and play them in the tree house.” “I will bring a soft pillow and my blue blanket and have a sleep,” says Bongi as she yawns. “You better be careful not to fall asleep,” her father warns. And then, just as they are about to climb up into the tree, the clouds cover the sky. There is a loud clap of thunder, and it begins to pour with rain. “Oh no!” Ann wails.
