SECTION A: COMPREHENSION

Read the story and answer all the questions

LITTLE, LOST PENGUIN An egg, on the slippery cold ice. A tiny shape, down by the icy sea.

Then suddenly, the eggshell broke! Out came a tiny beak. A penguin

chick sat on the ice and gave a little squeak. He shook his body,

looked around and flapped his wings.

Feeling all alone, he whispered, “Mommy, where are you?”

A seagull saw Little Chick and swooped down very low.

“That baby bird looks lost,” he thought, “I’ll stop to say hello.” “Little Chick,” said the gull, “it’s too cold to be outside.

Come shelter under my wing. It’s a nice, warm place to hide.” “Can you help to find my mommy?” said Little Chick. “I’m alone and very cold. Do you know where she is?”

”I’ll help you,” squawked the gull. ”Let’s fly into the air. We can

see lots of things from up there.”

“It’s so much fun,” said Little Chick, whizzing over the snow.

“Look! There are silly seals playing.”

The excited seals yelled. “Would you like to play with us? Come

on, let’s go!”They had a great time, slipping, sliding and

wriggling. “Weeeee!”

cried Little Chick,

flapping his wings

and giggling. Then

Little Chick said,

“Thank you both for asking me to play, but I need to

find my mommy.”Suddenly, water sprayed out of the

sea. A giant whale popped up and said, “You can ride along with me.”So, Little Chick

held on to Whale, as the waves below went crash! Then one big wave came along and

he fell in with a splash!


“Glug, glug, glug,” he went, floating past

shiny fish. Following them he flicked his tail

and moved his wings with a swish.

Swimming faster and flapping more, soon

Little Chick shot right out of the water and

back onto the shore. Looking like a soggy ball of fluff, his fur went drip, drip, drip.

Whale, the seals and the gull laughed, saying, “You’ve had quite a trip.”

Suddenly, he cried, “Look!” pointing with one of his wings. “I see a crowd of black

and white, waddling, cheeping things!”

He tripped and slipped and skidded, but he didn’t seem to care. Running through

the ice and snow, soon he was almost there. When Little Penguin reached the

crowd a smiling penguin said, “At last. I’ll tell our mom you’re here.”

“Mom was looking after you. She watched your

egg all day. Then a great big storm came up,

and your egg rolled away.”

So, at long last Little Chick had found his family

huddle. But best of all he found his Mommy and

had a big, warm cuddle!

Adapted from ‘Little, Lost Penguin’ by Carrie Lewis.
