One day Anna was walking around her front yard as she always does.  She noticed something up in the tiptops of her favorite tree.

Anna quickly realized that it was a bunch of balloons that had got caught in her tree.

Anna decided that she was determined to get the bunch of balloons down from her tree.  At first, she tried to jump to see if she could reach them.

After realizing that she wasn't close to getting the balloons down just by jumping she looked around and found a stick that she thought she could use.

As it was getting later, her parents came outside to tell Anna that it was time to come in and eat dinner and get ready for bed.

All night Anna tried to figure out ways to try and get the balloons down.  Eventually, she fell asleep, so excited to try again.

The next morning she woke up so excited because she knew today was the day that she was finally going to get her balloons.

First, she brought out a chair to help make her taller, and she used the same stick from yesterday.  She was getting closer to reaching the balloons but she still hadn't reached them yet.
