                NARRATOR 2: So, grumbling away, Fin put on his wife’s nightgown. Oona put a white bonnet on his head,
               then pushed him toward a cradle in the corner.
                FIN: Woman, what do you think you’re doing?!
                OONA: (pushing him into the cradle) Just lie down there, Fin. And you’ll need this baby bottle, too. (sticks
               the bottle in FIN’s mouth)
                FIN: (opening his eyes wide as he gets the bottle) Ulp!
                OONA: Now, keep yourself quiet and leave everything to me.

               material, take time during the practice to go through the Reader’s Book to foster curiosity and improve
               reading skills.
