Story sequencing worksheet titled "The Egg" with a narrative about a boy discovering a baby dragon and arranging events in order.

Let’s read the story carefully and figure out what happened first, second, third, and so on.

The story starts with:
> One day when he was out playing in the forest, a boy named Joshua found an egg.

So the very first thing is: Joshua found an egg.

Next:
> It was a very large egg, and Joshua had to struggle to lift it. But he was determined to take it home...

That means after finding it, he tried to lift it → Joshua tried to lift the egg.

Then:
> With the egg in his arms, Joshua started towards home...

So next: Joshua picked up the egg and started towards home.

But then:
> ...but the egg would not be still. It wiggled in his arms. It shook. It began to crack. Then it rolled out of his arms and bounced down onto the ground, where it broke in many pieces.

So after starting home, the egg wouldn’t stay still → The egg would not be still in his arms.

Then it rolled and broke → The egg rolled to the ground and broke.

After that:
> There, sitting in the middle of the crushed shells, looking stunned, was a baby dragon!

And finally:
> Then he scooped up the baby and ran all the way home with it to ask his mother if he could keep it as a pet.

So last step: Joshua took the baby dragon home.
