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. The grass grew "as high as Tomas". What does that tell you?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.
The Boots by the Door
Priya's boots were too small. Her toes pressed against the ends. But they were red, and she loved them.
For a week she said nothing. Then she could not run at playtime without it hurting.
She told her mum. Her mum did not laugh. They took the red boots to the charity shop and found a bigger pair, green this time. Priya kept the red ones by the door for a month before she let them go.
1. Her toes "pressed" against the ends. What does that tell you?
