Victor’s Birthday Decodable 21B

Reading Street

It was Victor’s birthday! In class, Victor told his teacher. She shook his hand. “You’re getting older! Have a joyful day,” she said happily. Back home, Victor saw Mom chatting quietly with a visitor in the garden. When Mom spotted Victor, she pointed at a flower. “A harmful bug is on that flower,” she said slowly. “It’s greenish with yellowish wings.” Victor looked closer. He didn’t see anything. And he didn’t see Mom give the visitor a playful wink. “Whoops, Victor! That little bug flew into the backyard,” Mom said excitedly. “Go look quickly!” Suddenly, Victor guessed that the visitor was a delivery person. The greenish and yellowish thing was really a bike. It was Victor’s birthday gift!
