Narrator: The friends get to work. They work as a team.
Sam: Let us tape the big box. We must make it safe and strong.
Leo: I will help you tape it. Then we can add the wheels.
Mia: Now it is my turn. I will paint the car red and yellow.
Narrator: They paint and they draw. The car looks very fast.
Sam: It is ready to roll! Who will sit inside first?
Leo: Mia should go first. She made the cool star.
Mia: Thank you, friends! This is the best racer ever.
