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. 1. Which sentence shows the lion's strength did not work?
  2. 2. Which words show the lion did not believe the mouse?
  3. 3. How did the mouse wake the lion?
  4. 4. What trapped the lion later?

The New Boy

A new boy called Iosif joined the class in November. He did not speak much English yet. At playtime he stood by the wall. Some children waved. He looked away. Marta noticed he was watching the football. She rolled the ball to him. He stopped it neatly and rolled it back. They passed it for ten minutes without saying a word. When the bell went, Iosif said one word: "Tomorrow?" "Tomorrow," said Marta.

  1. 1. Which words tell you Iosif was new to English?
  2. 2. What one word did Iosif say?
  3. 3. What did Marta roll to him?
  4. 4. When did Iosif join the class?
