Decodable fiction passages - Best Pet

Best Pet

Hank's class held a contest. It was for best pet.

There were dogs. There were cats. They were fine animals.

But Hank just had an ugly mule.

Hank said, "I will win this contest."

He put a rose in the mule's mane. He made a fine red cape for it.

The kids grinned as the mule came to the contest.

The mule got lots of votes.
