Read the story

Read the story first.

The doorbell at Kit's houseBun was playing at Kit's house. Kit's grown-up was in the kitchen, making soup. Ding dong! The doorbell rang. Kit and Bun did not open the door. They walked to the kitchen, and Kit said, “Excuse me, someone is at the door.” His grown-up looked out of the window first, and then opened the door. It was Dot, with a warm loaf of bread! Later Kit asked, “Can I help with the soup?” His grown-up said, “Yes, but the stove is hot, so that job is mine.” Kit set out bowls and spoons instead. When Dot asked to plug in the toaster, the grown-up said, “Not yet. Plugs are for grown-ups to handle.”
