2. If you give Phil a cookie,

3. he’ll want some milk to go
with it. So you’ll bring out
the milk from the refrigerator.

4. When he’s finished eating the cookie,

5. he’ll want another.

6. And another.

7. And another.

8. When they’re all gone, he’ll ask you to make more.
You’ll have to go to the store
to get some chocolate chips.
He’ll want to go with you.

9. When he opens the door and sees that it’s raining,
he’ll ask for an umbrella.

10. The orange dots on the
umbrella will remind him

11. of the orange shorts
he wears in the summer.

12. So he’ll ask for
some sunglasses.
He’ll put them on
and look outside.

13. He’ll see Lucy outside in the rain.

14. He’ll let her in and realize
that she needs to be dried
off. He’ll ask you for a towel.

15. You’ll bring him a big white towel.
He’ll wrap it around Lucy, but her tail will stick out.

16. The towel will
remind him that he
wants to be a ghost
for Halloween.
He’ll try it on and
shout, “BOO!”

17. It’ll scare him so much that he’ll knock over a
watering can.
So he’ll use the towel to clean up the mess.

18. He’ll probably
want to hang the
towel up to dry.
He’ll go into his
room to hang it up.

19. He’ll see his toy farm animals.
Seeing the cow will remind him of milk.

20. He’ll probably ask
you for some.

21. And chances are, if you
give him the milk, he’ll
want a cookie to go with it.

22. THE END
