Highlight the verbs in the following paragraphs then share with Miss Clark..
Long ago, the sun saw a large red and gold bird. It was so beautiful that the sun made him live forever.
At first the phoenix was very happy, but eventually he got tired. So he flew away and hid in the desert all alone. He cried to the sun to make him young and strong again, but the sun did not hear him.
The phoenix returned home and made a nest in a tall palm tree. He made an egg from myrrh and placed it in the nest. He cried out to the sun again. “Please, glorious sun, make me young and strong again!’ This time the sun heard him and shone its burning rays down on the Earth. The rays made the tree burst into flame and the phoenix became a big ball of fire.
When the flames died down, the tree and nest were unharmed but the phoenix had disappeared. Only a pile of ash remained. Soon the ash moved and a young phoenix emerged. It quickly grew to the size of a mature phoenix. Then it collected the ashes, placed them inside the egg and flew away with it. The phoenix placed the egg on the altar of the sun and flew back to live in the desert. Every five hundred years, when it grows old, the phoenix flies back to the old palm tree and is reborn from the ashes.
