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. When and where does this story happen?

The Last Lap

Dee was fast. She won every race at sports day, and she knew it. In the relay, she ran the last lap. Her team was behind. Dee ran so hard that her chest burned, but the other runner crossed the line first. Dee sat on the grass. Her team came and sat with her. "You made up ten metres," said Ali. Dee had not thought about that. She had only thought about losing.

  1. 1. What happened after the other runner crossed the line?
  2. 2. Where does this story happen?
