Target: a_e Pattern • 79 Words
Blake and Dave made a plan to hike past the wide lake. The sun had made the air
17
hot, so they walked in the shade of a pine. Blake saw a dark cave by a wooden
35
gate. "Is it safe inside?" asked Dave. Blake held a small flame to check. A gray
53
snake slept on a flat slate stone. The brave boys did not chase it. They ate grape
71
cake and smiled at their trip.

Mike got on his new bike just in time. The moon had a bright white shine in the
18
night sky. He liked to glide down the mile-long pine drive. A chime from the town
35
clock struck five times. Mike saw a red stripe on the trail sign. He did not slide
53
or strike the sharp stone on the side. Mike crossed the line with a huge smile,

full of pride for his swift time.

Pete had a silver flute that could play a pure tune. On a sunny day in June, he sat
18
by a sand dune with his cute dog, Duke. Pete liked to make up a grand theme
35
for his song. A mule on the hill stopped to hear the notes. Duke did not stay mute;
53
he let out a happy bark at the peaceful scene. It was a rule at camp to share your
72
skill, and Pete did just that with pride.
