Let’s go through each row of pictures and figure out the correct order: first, next, last.
---
First Row (Blowing up a balloon):
- Picture 1: Boy is holding a big pink balloon — looks like it’s already blown up.
- Picture 2: Boy is blowing into a small deflated balloon — this must be the start.
- Picture 3: Boy is in the middle of blowing — balloon is bigger than in picture 2 but not as big as picture 1.
So the order should be:
→ First: He starts blowing (picture 2)
→ Next: He’s still blowing, balloon getting bigger (picture 3)
→ Last: Balloon is fully blown up (picture 1)
Order:
2 – 3 – 1

Second Row (Getting balloons from a vendor):
- Picture 1: Dad and kid are walking away, kid is crying, balloon string is broken — something went wrong.
- Picture 2: Dad is buying a bunch of colorful balloons from a vendor — this is the beginning.
- Picture 3: Dad and kid are walking happily with one red balloon — they got one balloon after buying many? Or maybe they lost the rest? But logically, you buy first, then walk with them, then maybe lose them.
Wait — let’s think again:
Actually, picture 3 shows them walking with ONE balloon. Picture 2 shows them getting MANY balloons. Picture 1 shows the balloon floating away and kid crying.
So:
→ First: They buy the balloons (picture 2)
→ Next: They walk with one balloon (maybe they gave some away or only kept one?) — picture 3
→ Last: The balloon flies away and kid cries (picture 1)
But wait — that doesn’t make sense because if they bought many, why would they only have one later? Maybe the story is:
They buy balloons → kid gets one → balloon floats away → kid cries.
Yes! So:
→ First: Buy balloons (picture 2)
→ Next: Walking with one balloon (picture 3)
→ Last: Balloon flies away, kid sad (picture 1)
Order:
2 – 3 – 1

Third Row (Planting a seed):
- Picture 1: Boy is kneeling, putting a seed in the ground — planting.
- Picture 2: Boy is watering the spot where he planted — comes after planting.
- Picture 3: Boy is standing, looking at a tiny sprout growing — that’s what happens after watering and waiting.
So:
→ First: Plant the seed (picture 1)
→ Next: Water it (picture 2)
→ Last: See the plant grow (picture 3)
Order:
1 – 2 – 3

Now let’s write the final answer for each row.
Final Answer:
First row: 2 – 3 – 1
Second row: 2 – 3 – 1
Third row: 1 – 2 – 3
