Papa Tells Chita a Story

In our story this week Chita asks her Papa to tell her a story. But this story is really more of a "tall tale." This means that parts of the story are exagerated. For example, Papa swims with a giant alligator and he makes it through safely!? Wow- that is definitely exagerated.

Have you ever told a "tall tale?" Have you ever told a story to someone that you exagerated a little bit? I know I have!!!
