Ex 5. Read the poem, learn it and find in the poem adjectives
Just for You
I picked the reddest apple from the tree
It was the finest one that I could see
I saved it all except a bite or two
Just for you.
I carried home the groceries from the store
I wanted to be helpful with a chore
I put them all away except a few
Just for you.
Some day I'll be grown up too
And if I can I'll grow up just like you
I ate up all my lunch just like you said
But I think there was a little too much bread
And so I left the crust when I was through
Just for you.
