In the early morning, Fern was woken by the crowing of the rooster. Looking out, she noticed her brother, Avery, (1) climbing clumsily up the tree outside. She chuckled softly, thinking how different they were, yet (2) bound by the thread of memories they shared as siblings.

The sun peered through the leaves, casting a shadow on the ground. Nearby, their dog wagged his tail, (3) seeking his owner's attention. Fem's attention, however, was caught by the web in the corner of the porch, where a spider worked diligently. Fern watched in (4) awe as the spider worked tirelessly, adding to her masterpiece. The (5) glistening dew on the spider's web reflected light and made each thread look like a tiny row of pearls. The animals on the farm were just beginning their day and the barn was abuzz with activity.
