Stephen the Roofer
When you finish, read the whole story aloud.
Stephen repairs roofs on older houses. Today he finds several broken roof tiles. He makes a plan before he starts the job. Stephen puts on his hat and safety gear. His friend brings new tiles to the house. They set up a strong platform beside the roof. Stephen carefully removes the broken tiles. They carry the old tiles down together. Together they put everything into a large bin. Stephen lays a sheet to keep the rain out. Then he fixes new wooden strips across the roof. He places the first new tiles along the bottom. Working upwards, he covers the roof with tiles. Stephen climbs down and checks the finished work. The owner smiles, and Stephen feels proud of it.
