Unit 9 : I can ride a bikeUnit 3: I can ride a bike - family and friends 2unit 9 ( I can ride a bike)Bonk at the Barbershop Bonk is growing. His slippers are too small. His bed is too short. Even his fur is growing! It hangs in his eyes. It flops on his shoulders. "You need a haircut, Bonk," says Jupe. "No, I don't," says Bonk. "Look what I will do instead," he says. Bonk makes a ponytail with his fur. It sticks straight up. "My fur is out of my eyes now," says Bonk. Then Bonk looks in the mirror. "Maybe there is a better idea," he says. Bonk puts his head on the floor. He puts his feet in the air. "I can stand on my head!" he says. "That will keep the hair out of my eyes," he says. Bonk stands on his head until it hurts. "Want to go for a bike ride, Bonk?" Jupe asks. "We could ride to the barbershop." "The park would be more fun," says Bonk. Bonk straps on his helmet and his backpack. "I can still see a little bit," says Bonk. He starts to pedal and does not see the bump in the road. "Watch out, Bonk!" says Jupe. Crash! Bonk falls off his bike, and skins his knee. Jupe has her first aid kit. She puts a bandage on Bonk's knee. "Jupe," says Bonk. "I think I need a haircut." "I will go with you," says Jupe. Bonk and Jupe ride to the Monster barbershoŃ. They look through a book that shows different haircuts. They see curly haircuts. They see spiked haircuts. They see shaved haircuts. "Which haircut do you like best?" asks Jupe. Bonk thinks and thinks. Then he pulls out a picture from his backpack. He shows it to Uzzle. "I think this is the haircut I like best," he says. "The one you've always had?" says Jupe. "The one I've always had," says Bonk. It is Bonk's turn for a haircut. He climbs up on the chair. The barber cuts and cuts. Soon there is a pile of fur on the floor. Now, Bonk does not need a ponytail. He does not need to stand on his head. "Getting a haircut was a good idea, Jupe," Bonk says. "I'm glad I thought of it!"Bonk, the Healthy Monster A candy store has just opened. Bonk has been waiting. He runs inside with money from his piggy bank. "Wow!" he says. "There's cotton candy!" Bonk says. He sees chocolate eggs and rainbow taffy, too. Bonk buys and eats the candy. The next day, Bonk goes to the candy store. "There's root beer!" Bonk says. He sees bubble gum and jelly beans, too. Bonk drinks the soda and blows big bubbles. Day after day, Bonk eats junk food. His piggy bank gets lighter and lighter. But Bonk does not. The candy store owner gives Bonk a balloon. "You are my number one customer," says the owner. Later, Bonk visits the dentist. The dentist looks at Bonk's teeth. "Candy and soda are not healthy for you or your teeth," he says. The weeks pass by with more trips to the candy store. Soon, Bonk can't ride his bike as fast as he did before. Jumping rope is hard work, too. Sometimes, Bonk's tummy hurts. "What should I do?" Bonk asks Lurk and Uzzle. "I know," says Lurk. "Me, too," says Uzzle. Lurk, Uzzle, and Bonk go for a long walk. "You need exercise to be healthy,' says Lurk. They have a picnic of apples, cheese, and fresh brown bread. "You need good food to be healthy, too," says Uzzle. "But what about rainbow taffy and cotton candy?" Bonk asks. "You can have a piece or two," says Uzzle. "I can't have the whole bag?" asks Bonk. "No, never have the whole bag," says Lurk. Bonk's tummy begins to feel better. Soon, he can race his bike and jump rope again. Now, Bonk is not the number one customer at the candy store. But, Bonk is number one at being healthy!Bonk's New Bike Bonk has dreams about the bike he wants. It is red with cool handlebars and spokes. Bonk sees the bike on TV. He sees it in the newspaper, too. He opens his monster bank. He has only five pennies. "I have to earn enough money for my new bike," says Bonk. "I will start a dog walking business," he says. He goes door to door asking people if he can walk their dogs. "Can we help walk dogs, too?" asks Jupe. "I'll do it by myself," Bonk says. "I'm saving my money for a new bike." Soon, Bonk's phone begins to ring. People knock on his door. They all want Bonk to walk their dogs! "This will be a fun and easy way to earn money," Bonk says. On Saturday, Bonk picks up each dog. There are big dogs, little dogs. fancy dogs, and plain dogs. The dogs are barking, jumping, and running around. Bonk gets all their leashes together and begins to walk. One dog tangles up his leash. Another dog rolls in the mud. Another dog chases a cat! "This is not fun!" Bonk says. "It is not easy either!" Lurk, Uzzle, and Jupe ride their scooters past Bonk. "Do you want some help now. Bonk?" Jupe asks. Bonk gives each of the monsters a dog to walk. When they are finished walking. the dog owners pay the monsters. "I'm sorry I said you couldn't help with the dog walking," says Bonk. "I couldn't have done it without you." Jupe, Lurk, and Uzzle talk. They give their money to Bonk. "This is for your new bike," says Jupe. "But you earned this money, too," says Bonk. "We want something other than money," says Lurk. "Anything you want," Bonk says. "When you get your new bike, we want to take turns riding it!" says Jupe. "It's a deal!" says Bonk.Yawn (v) to open your mouth wide and breathe in deeply because you are tired or bored. Ex: Alan stretched and yawned.
