The Story of “Ike’s Bike Ride”

Like his sister, Leaping Eve, Ike likes to dream that he can go high into the sky. But Ike isn’t interested in looking down at the streams, trees, fields, or streets like Eve, and Ike doesn’t imagine that he can leap or fly. Ike’s interests lie beyond the clouds, the moon, and the sun. Ike dreams that he can peddle his magical bike to stars that shine brighter than the sun, and planets with snow that tastes like ice cream.

Each evening at five, Ike rides his nice new bike to the top of the highest hill. As the fiery red glow of the setting sun slips below the horizon, Ike plans his nightly flight. 
At nine each night, Ike goes to bed and his adventure begins. First Ike rides right through mighty bolts of lightning as they try to strike his shiny bike. Then Ike says, “Hi!” to the man in the moon and takes a bite of green cheese as he peddles still higher. After exploring brave new worlds, Ike takes his feet off the peddles and glides back down to earth just in time to see the sunrise and eat his breakfast of Rice Crispies and a slice of rye toast. 

**Don't forget to practice small batches of sight words each day**
