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.

  2. 2. What did Omar do before he was allowed to carry the money?

The Blue Door

At the end of the lane stood a house with a blue door. Nobody had lived there for years. The grass grew as high as Tomas. One Saturday a van pulled up. A woman got out with a ladder and a tin of paint. By teatime the blue door was bright yellow. Tomas waved. The woman waved back. "I'm Nita," she called. "Come and see the garden when I've cut it."

  1. 1. Where is the house?
  2. 2. What happened after the van pulled up?
