Lesson 116 (ough /aw/, ough /ō/)

"Santiago, the macaw, lived in a thick, green jungle. Although he was happy, he thought there might be more to see. He looked at the map and thought about where he ought to go. 'Maybe I should go north,' he thought."

"One stormy day, Santiago bought a ticket for a steamboat. He felt excited as he boarded, his heart beating like a drum. 'This is it, my journey begins,' he thought. The steamboat sailed north, through the wide, blue sea."

"Santiago brought a bag of his favorite foods for the journey. It was full of juicy grapefruit and crunchy nuts. He even brought a doughnut for a treat, though he saved it for a special moment. 'This is the life,' he thought as the steamboat sailed through the night."

"During his journey, Santiago met many new friends. He met a dolphin who taught him how to dive, and a warthog who shared his love for grapefruit. They all sought friendship and adventure, just like Santiago. He even shared his doughnut, which they all thought was delicious."

"Finally, after many days and nights, the steamboat reached the mainland. Santiago felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, but he knew he had made the right choice. He thought about all the friends he had made and the adventures they had shared. 'I fought my fears and I won,' he thought as he stepped onto the new land."

"Santiago's journey was a thorough success. He had seen new places, met new friends, and learned new things. He felt thoughtful and grateful for his adventure. 'Home will always be there, but the world is full of places to explore,' he thought. And with that, Santiago set off to explore his new home."
