Read the text about the ukulele.
A popular instrument in Hawaii is the ukulele. The ukulele is a small guitar with only four strings. It is usually made of wood, often from the koa tree in Hawaii.
The word ukulele has multiple possible meanings. The word 'uku' means "flea" and 'lele' means "jumping". Some people say that the player's fingers move so fast, they look like little insects jumping! So it makes sense that ukulele could mean "jumping fleas". Other people say that ukulele means "a gift from far away". This makes sense, too.

The Forgotten Wand
Fern and Daisy has just finished a lesson on the dangers of magic spells on frogs. They were sitting alone in the now-empty classroom. They hadn't copied notes from the Headmaster Elf's lesson fast enough, so he had asked them to stay late to catch up.
"I'm so bored," Fern moaned. "I thought Elfin Magic School was going to be fun, but so fat, we haven't learned any magic at all. All we do is listen to the Headmaster Elf talk about magic safety."
Daisy nodded. "If I hear one more word about why magic spells are dangerous, I'm going to scream!" She glanced toward Headmaster's desk and then she did give a little scream.
"What is it?" cried Fern.
"Look! Headmaster forgot to lock his desk." Daisy pointed. Sure enough, Headmaster's magic wand was poking out from his desk drawer.
Fern's eyes widened, and then she grinned. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
What is Fern probably thinking as she grins?
