Fog Morning
The hill has gone. The wood has gone. The postbox stands in a cloud, alone. No sheep, no gate, no crooked tree — only the ten short steps I see. I walk. The ten steps walk with me. The gate appears. And then the tree. The hill comes back. The wood comes back. The fog rolls off along the track.

- 2. What is standing in a cloud?
- 3. What appears first as the speaker walks?
- 4. Which line tells you the fog moves with the walker?
The Lion and the Mouse
A lion lay sleeping in the sun. A mouse ran across his paw and woke him. The lion caught the mouse in one hand. "Please let me go," said the mouse. "One day I may help you." The lion laughed. How could a mouse help a lion? But he opened his hand. Weeks later the lion walked into a hunter's net. He roared and pulled, and the ropes only tightened. The mouse heard him. She came at once and gnawed the ropes, one strand at a time, until the lion could step free.
- 1. What trapped the lion later?
- 2. How did the mouse free him?
- 3. How did the mouse wake the lion?
- 4. Which sentence shows the lion's strength did not work?
