Today is Mark’s birthday! Tommy is very excited. Mark’s party is going to be at a ranch. All of the kids will get to ride horses. Mark puts on his jeans and boots. He is putting on his hat when he hears “ping, ping, ping, ping” against his window. He walks to the door and looks out just as thunder rolls. He turns around sadly, and says, “Mom, I guess we can’t ride the horses now!”

Why does Tommy say that he will not get to ride the horses? How do you know?

(Be sure to use the word "because" in your response.) Try your BEST with spelling!
