A Present for Bob: Bob and the team are building the Spring City Christmas Display in the city center's plaza. Full of Christmas cheer, Lofty sparks an idea when he notices that Bob's home isn't decorated for the holiday. Lofty brings Bob's present to the site, but becomes occupied when given tasks to do. He sets the present down under the display's tree and, when he tries to retrieve it later, the tree crashes into the rest of the Christmas scene. Lofty covers the broken display by redesigning it with a snowflake theme, attracting enthusiastic town-folk to experience the Christmas season. He lifts Bob's present, a star, and places it atop the tree. Learning Goals: To describe the order of an activity using "first," "then," and "next.
