Molly was happy with the bicycle but when she tried to climb on it, her feet did not reach the ground. It was too high for her.
Gabby laughed and showed her how to adjust the height of the seat and ride, "Like this. Like this," he explained.
Molly rode on the bike everywhere. She happily did the small chores for her mother such as going to the shop and getting bread and milk.
Grandma asked her to get jam biscuits for her tea party.
Molly felt very special, "Sure." And rode away.
"Can I get a ride?" asked Coco cat. Molly gladly let her sit in the basket.
"Can I get a ride too?" asked Sheena sheep. Molly made her sit in the back seat.
Coco rang the bell seeing Ellie elephant.
"Oh, can I get a ride too?" asked Ellie.
"You can sit at the back if your like," said Molly. Sheena got off so that Ellie could sit on the back seat. When Molly tried to pedal, the bicycle did not move. Ellie laughed and got down.
As soon as she got down, the bicycle started moving. "Your bicycle is old and rusty," she laughed and walked away.
