Too Loud
The school band practised in the hall every Thursday. Sam played the drum. He liked it best when he could hit it hard.
"Softer," said Mrs Otu. "The flutes cannot be heard."
Sam did not want to play softly. But he tried it. This time he could hear the flutes too, winding above the drum like a bird. It sounded better than anything he had played before.
1. When did the band practise?
2. What changed Sam's mind?
3. What did Mrs Otu ask Sam to do?
4. How did Sam feel about playing softly at first?

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. Where did she find it?
2. What does Maya's note tell you about her?
3. What does this story show about small kindnesses?
4. What did the boy have in his hand?
