Read the text, then answer the questions.
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.
- 1. How far can the speaker see?
- 2. Which words rhyme with "tree"?
- 3. Which line tells you the fog moves with the walker?
- 4. What appears first as the speaker walks?
The Kite in the Elm
Sami's kite caught in the top of the elm on the very first day. He tried throwing a ball at it. He tried a long stick. He tried shaking the trunk with both arms. The kite stayed exactly where it was. His sister Rana came out with a bucket and a length of washing line. She tied the line to the bucket handle, threw the bucket over the branch, and pulled. The branch bent. The kite slid off and dropped into the grass. "How did you know that would work?" said Sami. "I didn't," said Rana.
- 1. What did Rana say when Sami asked how she knew?
- 2. Which sentence lists the things Sami tried?
- 3. Which words show Sami's attempts failed?
- 4. Where did Sami's kite get caught?
