Dave Pigeon Vocabulary Worksheet
The canal-boat scheme
George, Keira and Alfie were taking a narrowboat along the canal when a pigeon landed on the roof. “I’m Dave,” he cooed. “I have a brilliant scheme to find the best snack in Britain.” Dave was determined to investigate every boat-stop café. At the first stop, he spotted a magnificent pile of crumbs beside a bench. He made a quick dash, but a gust of wind sent the crumbs skittering across the towpath. “What a disaster!” squawked Dave. He was not defeated. He plotted a new plan: wait patiently near the next café until someone dropped a biscuit. His plan worked, and Dave proudly carried his prize back to the boat.
