Gracie& Lane Gators

By: Mrs. Judy

Once upon a time in a

swamp far, far away,

lived

Gracie & Lane

Gator.

Gracie was such a silly, gator that liked the boys!

She would bat her long eyelashes at

Lane and blow him kisses!

Well that made Lane fall in LOVE with her!

Every day, Gracie and Lane would

swim through the swamp together

and look for things to eat.

Lane was a gentleman.

He knew that Gracie only liked to eat things that were on the left side of the swamp. So, when the most food was on the left, he let

her have it.

Greta thought Lester was so nice, and she didn’t want to be a

greedy gator.

So when the most food was on the right side of the swamp, she

let Lane have it.

One day, they found some food. It

looked like a whole family had been on a picnic and forgot

to pick up their food!

They swam over to the

first blanket of food.

10 4

On the left side, there was a stack of 10 hamburgers.

On the right side, there was a stack 4 hamburgers.

Since the greater amount of food is on the left, Gracie ate the food!

10 > 410 is greater than 4

Then they swam over to

the second blanket of

food.

3 7

On the left side, there was a stack of 3 hamburgers.

On the right side, there was a stack of 7 hamburgers.

Since the greater amount of food is on the right, Lane ate the food!

3 < 73 is less than 7

Gracie and Lane were so full after eating all

of that food, they swam home and took

a nap!THE END
