A LITTLE EVERYDAY ADVENTURE

A boat for two

Umar placed his little toy boat beside Yaqub. “Shall we make it a harbour?” he asked. Yaqub fetched some wooden blocks and began to build.

One block wobbled. Then another fell. Umar sighed, but Yaqub held out a wide, flat block. “Try this one underneath.” Together, they built a dock with room for the boat.

“Your turn to bring it in,” said Umar, passing the boat to Yaqub. Then it was Umar’s turn again. Their little harbour was ready, and there was plenty of adventure for both of them.
