The Best Thing In The Worldcontains 220 Dolch
Basic Sight Words in a 675 word passage

• Once upon a time, there were four brothers who
  lived in a far away land. Their father was an old
  king. One day he said, "I will not live long now.
  Today you must start out into the world. In a
  year, bring back the best thing you have found.
  The one who can pick the best thing shall be the
  new king.
• The first brother said, "I will look in every
  city or town. I will buy the best thing I can for
  my father.
• The next two brothers said, "We will both go on
  fast ships over the sea. We will find something
  better.
• The last brother said, "I am going to ask the
  people here in our own land to tell me the best
  thing.
• The other three brothers began to laugh. "Then
  you will never be king!" They said.
• The last brother started off. When he had gone
  about six miles, he met a man, "What do you carry
  in those big bags?" he asked.
• "The best thing in the world," said the man.
  "These are full of the good nuts which fall from
  my five nut trees.
• "I don't think that would work," said the brother
  to himself, "I must try again."

• The brother went on another seven miles. He found
  a small brown bird. It had been hurt, so he put
  it in his coat where it could keep warm. As he
  went on, he saw a little girl crying. He ran to
  meet her. "Why are you crying?" he asked.
• "I want to get some water from the well," she
  said. "We use so much. We drink cold water. We
  wash the clothes clean with hot water. But I do
  not know how to pull it up. Please show me.
• The brother said, "Hold this bird and I will help
  you. It does not fly around anymore because it
  got its wing hurt.!
• "Thank you. What a pretty bird!" she said. "I
  wish you would give it to me. If you will let me
  keep it, I will always be very kind to it. I will
  take care of it myself. I will make it grow well
  again.
• "Yes, you may have it," said the brother. So he
  gave her the bird and went on.

• At night, he went to sleep under a round yellow
  haystack. When it was light again he walked on.
  Every day he would walk eight or ten miles. He
  asked the people about the best thing in the
  world. Some said it was best to sing. Some said
  it was best to run and jump and play. Some said
  the green grass was best. Some liked the red and
  blue and white flowers best. One man said the
  best thing was to ride a black horse. He always
  stopped to help people who needed it. Soon he
  made many friends. All the people began to like
  him.
• They would say, "See there goes the king's son.
  He would be just the right kind of king for us."
  Every door was open to him. The people would call
  to him to stop. They would ask him to come and
  eat with them. After he ate, he would sit down
  and read to the children. After he read, he
  showed them how to draw and write.

• Months went by. He still had no beautiful thing
  to take to his father. Just before the year was
  done, he went home again. The time came went the
  king called his sons together.
• "What did you bring?" He asked them all. The
  other brothers had many beautiful things.
• "And what did you bring?" said the king to the
  last brother.
• "This is too funny!" said the other brothers.
  "He has nothing!
• But the king was kind to the last brother. "What
  did you bring me?" the king asked again.
• "I bring only the friendship of your people,"
  said the last the brother.
• "That is the best thing!" cried his father. "You
  shall be the new king."
