Reading Bailey and Daisy

There was a girl named Bailey who loved animals. She had a pet parakeet named Daisy. Daisy had beautiful colorful feathers and loved to sing all day. Bailey spent hours talking to Daisy, and Daisy would chirp back, as if they were having a conversation.

One sunny afternoon, Bailey decided to take Daisy to the park to play. As they walked through the park, they saw other pets, like dogs and cats, playing with their owners.

Bailey's friend, Maya, had a playful dog named Max. Max wagged his tail happily when he saw Daisy. Maya was training Max in the park and teaching him to "sit" and stay". Bailey went home and decided that she wanted to train Daisy!
