and follow up exercisesThe Closet Creature

by Kelly Hashway

Bump! Bump! Scratch!

Adam opened his eyes and pulled the covers up to his chin. He stared around his room, searching the darkness for the thing that was making those scary sounds.

The closet door moved as something banged on it from the inside.

Whos there? Adam asked in a shaky voice.

The closet slowly began to open. Adam jumped out of bed and ran to the closet door, slamming it shut with his palms. He grabbed his desk chair and propped it against the door handle. Then he ran out of his room and down the hall. His brothers door was wide open, and Adam jumped onto Davids bed.

Adam? David asked in a groggy voice. What are you doing in here?

Adam tugged on Davids arm. Theres something in my closet!

You probably had a bad dream. Go back to bed.

Adam yanked the blankets off the bed. It wasnt a dream. I was awake, and the closet door starting opening by itself!

David sighed. Fine. But when we dont find anything, you have to promise to leave me alone for the rest of the night.

Adam nodded. David reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a flashlight. Then they headed to Adams room. Adam stopped in the doorway. He could hear something scratching his closet door.

Do you hear that? Adam asked.

David nodded. He walked over to Adams bed and pulled the case off one of the pillows. He opened the pillowcase.

You open the door very slowly, and Ill grab whatever it is.

Adam slid the chair to the side and pulled the closet door open a crack. Something banged against the door, trying to force it open. Adam took a deep breath and opened the door a few more inches. A small furry creature ran right into the pillowcase.

I got it! David said, closing the pillowcase and holding it in the air.

What is it? Adam moved closer as David peeked inside.

David put the pillowcase on the bed and an orange cat climbed out.

Adam scooped the cat up. Apricot? How did you get trapped in my closet?

David laughed. The poor cat. If I was locked in your closet with your stinky shoes, Id be banging on the door to get out, too!

Poor, Apricot, Adam said. You were probably more scared than I was.FOLLOW UP

1. What happened right after David went into Adam's room?

a. Adam jumped into David's bed.

b. David grabbed a flashlight from his desk drawer.

by Kimberly M. Hutmacher

Have you ever noticed that we only see certain animals in certain seasons? Many animals move from one area to another at different times during the year. This movement is called migration.

Animals migrate for different reasons. Some, like the manatee and the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, migrate to stay warm in the winter.

Some animals migrate for food, water, and protection. Caribou move south each winter to evergreen forests. The forests protect them from the cold winds and provide a better food supply.

Other animals, like the Emperor Penguin, migrate for their children. These penguins choose the coldest time of year and the coldest place on the planet- Antarctica- to raise their young. They migrate inland, away from the sea, so they are far away from predators when their eggs hatch.

These journeys are often thousands of miles. Its amazing that so many animals are able to find their way back to the very same places in the world year after year.

Loggerhead Turtles travel thousands of miles to lay their eggs on the very same beach where they were hatched themselves. Monarch butterflies often end up migrating thousands of miles to the very same tree that their ancestors roosted in generations before.

California Gray Whales have the longest migration journey of any mammal. They travel 10,000-14,000 miles round trip each year. We know the many reasons why animals migrate, but no one really knows how they find their way. They do not have a map, compass or GPS to guide them. Maybe you will become the famous scientist that solves the mystery of animal migration.
