We are three little firefighters. Hurry-let's get dressed!
The parade starts in an hour and we have to look our best.
But we're missing all our buttons! We don't know what to do. Everyone will see our bellies and our belly buttons, too.
We have to find some buttons, and the buttons have to match. Each coat will need four buttons. We can't have less than that.
We found a bunch of buttons. But we've got to have four sets. Let's sort them out by shape, and find out what we get.
"I found a set of circles!"
But two sets aren't complete. Our belly buttons will still show when we're out on the street.
Ink Spot, we have a problem. This is no time to play. We've got to get your boots on, and find buttons right away!
We've really got to hurry. We have to find three sets.
But I don't. I'm afraid my belly button will still, show when we're in the parade.
Ink spot, don't be silly. We have not finished yet.
Let's sort the buttons out by size, and find out what we get.
Now we each have four buttons, large, medium, and small. At last our belly buttons won't be seenat all.
Ink Spot, no more barking now that everything is fine. We'll just sew on our buttons- "Wait I'm missing one of mine".
Find it! Let's look everywhere! Turn this place upside down! Check under the fire truck!
Look what Ink Spot has found!
Now every button is sewn on. We're ready on the dot. We are three little firefighters with our dog, Ink Spot!
