Decodable fiction passages - Magic Poppy

Magic Poppy

Jed was at the melon stand. The man at the stand handed Jed a nut.

"Plant this nut," he said. "A red poppy will spring up. Then it will ask you to bring it a drink."

Jeb planted the nut in his sandbox. By sunset, a big, red poppy was there.

"Can I get you a drink?" Jeb said.

"Yes," said the poppy. "And put a twist of lemon in it!"
