Where Is Mia’s Boot?
It’s match day, but Mia can only find one boot. Where could it be?
It was match day! Mia woke up early and pulled on her shirt. But where was her left boot? She had one boot. Only one boot!
Mia looked under the bed. No boot. She looked in the cupboard. No boot. She even looked in the shoe box. Just one very surprised sock.
Outside, Sana the squirrel came bouncing along the path. ‘Why the long face?’ asked Sana. ‘I can’t find my boot,’ sighed Mia. ‘Let’s look together!’
They looked high and low. Sana peeked this way. Mia peeked that way. Then Sana gave a great big gasp. ‘Look! Look!’
There was the missing boot, inside the big flowerpot! ‘It thought it was a flower!’ giggled Sana. Mia laughed so hard she got the hiccups.
Mia laced up both boots, tie, tie, tie, and the two friends raced off to Buttercup Meadow. They arrived just as the whistle was about to blow.
Mia played the best game ever. Both boots on, both feet happy. And after the game, Mia put her boots right by the door, side by side.
