Ten friendly children standing in a line, one went home and then there were nine.

Nine happy children hopped to the zoo, seven fell down and then there were two.

Two lonely children sitting by the gate, six more joined them and then there were eight.

Eight lively children skipped around a tree, five ran away and then there were three.

Three tried children lie on the floor, one more flopped down and then there were four.

Four bored children waiting and then, the six came back and there were ten.
