Here are logical predictions for what happens next in each story, based on the clues provided:
1. Andy the Dog
*Clue:* Andy dug a hole and is barking/jumping at a squirrel near the fence.
*Prediction:*
Andy will try to chase the squirrel through the hole or over the fence. Since she is already excited and digging, she likely wants to catch the squirrel.
2. Nemo the Fish
*Clue:* Food was dropped at the top of the water for Nemo.
*Prediction:*
Nemo will swim up quickly and eat the food. Fish usually swim to the surface when they see food being dropped in their tank.
3. Sammy the Hamster
*Clue:* It is morning, Sammy has energy, and needs exercise before breakfast. There is a wheel pictured.
*Prediction:*
Sammy will run fast on his hamster wheel. This is how hamsters get their morning exercise before they eat.
4. Gus the Cat
*Clue:* Gus played all day, ate dinner, has a full belly, and is suddenly very sleepy.
*Prediction:*
Gus will curl up in a cozy spot and take a nap. After playing and eating a big meal, cats usually like to sleep.
5. Johnny’s Frog
*Clue:* The frog saw a fly buzzing inside his cage. Frogs eat flies.
*Prediction:*
The frog will stick out his long tongue and catch the fly to eat it. That is how frogs catch their food.
