Let’s look at the story panels one by one to figure out what Zac says in each blank speech bubble.

---

Panel 1:
Liz is sitting by the window, looking sad. She thinks about falling leaves and playing outside in the country. She says:
> “Zac, I miss fall in the country.”

Zac (the parrot) is in a cage. He doesn’t say anything yet — but he’s listening.

---

Panel 2:
Zac flies out of his cage with a big purple bag in his beak. He says:
> “I have an idea, Liz!”

So now we know Zac is going to do something to help Liz feel better.

---

Panel 3:
Zac dumps a huge pile of orange and yellow leaves onto the floor! Liz looks surprised and happy. She says:
> “Zac, I’m so glad you came back.”

Now it’s Zac’s turn to speak. What would he say after seeing Liz happy? Probably something like:
> “You’re welcome!” or “I knew you’d love this!” or “Ta-da! Fall in the city!”

But let’s think — he brought the leaves to make her happy. So he might say something proud or playful.

---

Panel 4:
Liz is jumping into the pile of leaves, laughing and having fun! Leaves are flying everywhere. Now it’s Liz’s turn to talk again — she’s super excited!

What would she say while jumping in the leaves? Maybe:
> “This is amazing!” or “Best fall ever!” or “Thank you, Zac!”

She’s clearly thrilled — so her words should show joy and thanks.

---

Let’s pick simple, natural-sounding lines that fit the characters and the mood.

For Panel 3 (Zac’s line):
He just made Liz happy by bringing fall to her. He might say:
→ “Ta-da! Fall in the city!”

For Panel 4 (Liz’s line):
She’s jumping in the leaves, having the best time. She might say:
→ “This is the best fall ever!”

---

Final Answer:
Panel 3 (Zac): “Ta-da! Fall in the city!”
Panel 4 (Liz): “This is the best fall ever!”
