The Lighthouse Keeper
Old Sam lived alone in a tall white lighthouse by the sea.
Every night he climbed the winding stairs to light the big lamp.

One stormy night the power went out and the lamp went dark.
Sam grabbed his old oil lantern and held it high in the window.
A passing ship saw the small light and turned safely away.

She decided to grow two bean plants in cups.
She put one plant in the sunny window and one in a dark closet.

After two weeks, the sunny plant was tall and green.
