Let's read a short story about Christmas decorations - an Angel on top of the Christmas tree!

To score an Angel
Anna wanted to put the angel on top of the tree by herself.
She threw it like a basketball, but it missed and hit the wall.
Her dad laughed and said, “Nice shot, but angels don’t play sports.”
Anna tried again and scored!
