Suddenly he had a thought he'd never thought before. I bet she's sad she can't climb trees. I could take her some of these delicious mulberries.
When Jake arrived, Mrs. Thompson was surprised. She was delighted. She had enough fruit to make two mulberry pies.
Then she had a thought she'd never thought before. I loved getting these mulberries. I bet Mr. Riley next door would like one of my pies.
When Mrs. Thompson arrived, Mr. Riley was surprised. Mr. Riley was delighted. As he ate the delicious pie, he looked out the window and watched the kids next door playing ball. Suddenly he saw the ball land on the roof of his garage.

When Mr. Riley handed them back their ball, Jeffrey and Joshua were surprised. They were delighted. As they tossed it back and forth, they saw Mr. Lee hobbling on crutches to his front door.
