A Fine St. Patrick's Day by Susan Wojciechowski illustrated by Tom Curry

Two towns, Tralah and Tralee, compete each St. Patrick's Day in a decorating contest.  Tralah always wins.  The story relates how a small gentleman comes on the eve of St. Patrick's Day for the villages' help in rescuing his cows stuck in the mud.  Both towns are frantically completing their decorating tasks.  Only the people from Tralee help the man and go to bed not completing their decorating.  They awaken the next morning to a huge surprise and learn a lifelong lesson.
Strategies: predicting, inferring
