"What a beautiful day!" said Emmy.
"I don't want to be in the house.
Let's play in the backyard."
"That's a great idea," said Harry.
The kids went outside.
Harry and Emmy played tag.
Oliver was eating a granola bar.
He saw a big green bug in a tree.
Oliver put down his granola bar.
"Look!" said Oliver.
"That bug looks like a leaf!"
"It's a leaf bug," said Emmy.
"Cool!" said Harry.
A bird flew down from the sky.
It pecked at the granola bar.
"Oh no!" cried Oliver.
"A bird is eating my granola bar!"
The bird flew away.
A squirrel jumped onto the bird feeder.
It ate some bird food.
"Ha-ha!" Oliver laughed.
A cat was walking on the fence.
"It's Pickles," said Emmy.
"He's the neighbor's cat."
Pickles jumped down from the fence.
He came over to the kids.
The kids patted Pickles.
The cat purred.
He rolled over onto his back.
"This is fun," said Oliver.
"Our backyard is really exciting!"
Another animal climbed over the fence.
"Look over there!" said Oliver.
"It's another cat!"
"I don't think that's a cat," said Harry.
"It's a skunk!" cried Emmy.
"Everybody, back in the house!"
