Let’s go through each picture one by one and think about what is most likely to happen next, based on what we see.
---
Picture 1:
We see a baby sitting in a crib, looking happy or maybe excited. The baby is not crying — so “Mother will come get the baby” doesn’t seem urgent. Babies in cribs often try to climb out when they’re active. Laughing is possible, but the baby already looks like it might be laughing or smiling. The most logical *next* action? Trying to get out of the crib — that’s something babies do when they’re ready to move!
→ Best prediction:
The baby will get out of the crib.

Picture 2:
A man is dribbling a basketball, bent over, focused. He’s in motion, playing. If he’s dribbling, his goal is probably to shoot or pass. Falling down isn’t suggested — he looks balanced. The ball rolling away would only happen if he lost control — but he seems in control. So the most natural next step in basketball? Trying to shoot!
→ Best prediction:
The man will try to shoot a basket.

Picture 3:
A boy is holding flowers out to a girl. Hearts are floating around them — this means love or kindness. The girl looks surprised or touched. Would she take them? Probably yes — that’s the usual reaction when someone gives you flowers with hearts around! Dropping them or a bird taking them doesn’t fit the sweet mood.
→ Best prediction:
The girl will take the flowers.

Picture 4:
A boy is running fast, waving his hand, wearing a backpack. He looks like he’s chasing something — probably the school bus (since he has a backpack and is rushing). Tripping is possible, but there’s no sign he’s off-balance. Someone catching him? No one else is shown. Running to catch the bus fits perfectly.
→ Best prediction:
The boy will catch the school bus.

Final Answer:
1. The baby will get out of the crib.
2. The man will try to shoot a basket.
3. The girl will take the flowers.
4. The boy will catch the school bus.
