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. 1. How many days passed before the boy knocked?
  2. 2. Where does the story begin?

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. 1. Where does this story happen?
  2. 2. What happened after Sam tried playing softly?
