Conditionals – Wishes

7

Wait! Wait! Wait! We’ve been

on this island for over a

month, no roof over our heads

and you want it to

rain

?!

You’re right. I’m lucky

you’re here to help me. I

wish

I

had

an umbrella!

Listen and repeat. Then act out.

I

wish

it

would

rain

so we could

grow food.

Thank you for freeing me from the lamp!

Now, you can make a wish.
