One blue block.
Yellow on top.
Then red.
A little tower!
I reached out fast.
“Gently…” said Dad.
I stopped.
Dad touched the top block
with one finger.
The tower stayed up.
My turn.
I touched it with my finger.
A little wobble…
I waited.
It stayed up!
I laughed.
“One more block!”
Dad brought the green one closer.
I held it with both hands.
On top of red…
gently.
A taller tower!
