The Wrong Bus
Halim was two stops past the school before he looked up.
The bus was going the other way. He had got on at the same shelter, in the same rain, and never checked the number.
His stomach dropped. He thought about crying and decided against it, because it would not help.
He read the route map above the window. He worked out that the 41 came back the same way. He rang the bell, got off, crossed at the lights, and waited eleven minutes for the 41.
He was twenty minutes late. Mrs Achebe asked what happened. "I got the wrong bus," said Halim, "and then I got the right one."
1. How would Mrs Achebe's account of this morning differ from Halim's?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.
The Fox and the Well
A fox leaned too far over a well and fell in. The water was shallow, but the walls were smooth and far too high to climb.
He was still sitting there when a goat came by and looked down.
"Is the water good?" asked the goat.
"The best I have ever tasted," said the fox. "Come down and see."
The goat jumped in. The fox climbed onto the goat's back, sprang out, and trotted off.
"Wait!" called the goat. "How do I get out?"
"You should have thought about that," said the fox, "before you jumped."
1. Whose point of view does the reader share, and how does that differ from the goat's?
