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. The flutes were "winding above the drum". What does that tell you about their sound?

The Jar of Shells
Every summer, Ivy filled a jar with shells from the beach. The jar sat on her windowsill all winter.
One day her little brother knocked the jar off the sill. It did not break, but the shells rolled everywhere. Ivy felt hot and cross. Then she saw that Ben was crying.
"It was an accident," she said. "Help me find them." They crawled under the bed together. They found every shell but one.
1. Ivy felt "hot and cross". What does cross mean here?
