The Bread That Would Not Rise

Nana let Ada make the bread on her own for the first time. Ada measured the flour, the salt and the water. She kneaded the dough until her arms ached. Then she covered the bowl and waited. An hour later the dough sat in the bowl exactly as she had left it. It had not risen at all. Nana looked at the packet on the shelf. "You used the salt twice," she said. "There is no yeast in it." Ada wanted to throw the bowl across the kitchen. Instead she washed it out and started again.

  1. 1. What had Ada left out?
  2. 2. What was Ada making?
  3. 3. Which words show Ada worked hard?
  4. 4. What did Ada do at the end?

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. 1. How far can the speaker see?
  2. 2. Which line tells you the fog moves with the walker?
  3. 3. What is standing in a cloud?
  4. 4. Which words rhyme with "tree"?
