Market Day
On Saturdays, Grandpa took Omar to the market. Omar carried the basket. Grandpa carried the money.
Omar's job was to pick the apples. He learned to press each one gently with his thumb. A soft spot meant the apple would be brown inside.
One week Grandpa let Omar carry the money instead. Omar counted the change twice. He got it right both times.
1. What does counting the change twice tell you about Omar?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.
One Glove
Maya found one green glove on the wall by the bus stop. It was small, so it belonged to a child.
She could not just leave it. She pinned a note to the wall: FOUND — ONE GREEN GLOVE. ASK AT NUMBER 12.
For three days nobody came. On the fourth day a boy knocked. He had the other green glove in his hand.
1. What does Maya's note tell you about her?
