                          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.
                                                                       [Adapted from: DBE WORKBOOK 2]
