Juanito wanted to play with his friend, Jacob, who was in his class at school.

Juanito and Jacob were the same age.

Both their names started with the letter J.

They even lived in the same neighborhood

Juanito walked over to Jacob’s house.

He brought along his basketball.

Juanito had never been to Jacob’s house.

Juanito only knew where Jacob lived.

When Juanito got to Jacob’s front door,

he reached up and rang the doorbell.

“Hi, Jacob. Can you come out to play?” asked Juanito.

“Sure,” said Jacob after he asked his mother.

“But only for a little while. I’m having dinner soon.”
