The Astro-Wagon: Part One

Gary is eight.

Gary loves his wagon.
His wagon is red.
It has four wheels and a long black handle.
There is a long white stripe on the side.

Gary pulls his wagon around the house.
Gary pulls the wagon down the sidewalk.
Gary often sits under the tree with his wagon and dreams of being an astronaut.

Gary has a GI Joe.
His name is Buzz.
He is an astronaut GI Joe.
Gary has been friends with Buzz for a long time.

Often Gary and Buzz ride in the wagon.
They go to the moon.
They zoom through the asteroids.
Gary and Buzz like to have lunch on the moons of Jupiter.

In the winter time the wagon stays in the garage.
But in the spring his mom washes the wagon.
His dad greases the wheels.
And Gary oils the handle.

And then Gary and Buzz blast off for adventure.
