The circus is a lot of fun. It comes to town once a year. When you go

to the circus what do you see? There are many animals in the circus. They do stunts and tricks. There are elephants and horses. There are

lions and tigers.

The circus also has clowns and acrobats. There are people high on a wire. They walk across the wire to the other side. All eyes are on

them. The people are quiet until they make it across. Then, they all

cheer. Some circus performers swing on a trapeze. They are fun to watch, too.

Sometimes you get to eat cotton candy and peanuts. The cotton candy

Compare and contrast the Princess and the Pea:

Princess and the Pea

ONCE upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she

would have to be a real princess. He traveled all over the world to find one, but

nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was

difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about

them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he

would have liked very much to have a real princess.

One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the

rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate, and

the old king went to open it.

It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! What

a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. The water ran down from her hair

and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. And

yet she said that she was a real princess.

"Well, we'll soon find that out," thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went

into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the

bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty

eider-down beds on top of the mattresses.

On this the princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked how she

had slept.

"Oh, very badly!" said she. "I have scarcely closed my eyes all night. Heaven only

knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, so that I am black

and blue all over my body. It's horrible!"

Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had felt the pea right

through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.

Nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that.

So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess;

and the pea was put in the museum, where it may still be seen, if no one has stolen

it. There, that is a true story.

The Pea’s Story

I am the Pea and I am going to tell you my side of the Princess and the Pea,

or should I re-word that, The Pea and the Princess? There I was in the Kings Royal

Kitchen when I rolled off the King’s plate into the nearest room. The Queen came

into the room and grabbed me. She took me upstairs and stuffed me in a pile of

mattresses.

So there I was squashed under 20 mattresses with a girl on top. She was

rolling around and jumping up and down like a ten-year-old. She smelled like

garbage in a dump truck. I, the pea, tried to go to the foot of the bed, but her

stinky feet were there. Next I knew, she was singing with a bad tone. She sounded

like an old record player. Even though there were nineteen mattresses on top of me,

I could still feel her elbow though them. Therefore, she was being an annoying girl.

So right after she squished me I wanted revenge. So I flopped out of there

and looked all around for anything I could get revenge with. Then I saw it, the

king’s royal boiling ball. Using all my strength I dragged it back and put it under all

those mattresses. I figured she would get a bad backache. It even made a nice

house so I wouldn’t get squished again. As I lay down, I saw the sunrise.

I decided to get the bowling ball out of the bed. I decided to take the bowling

ball out so I would not get caught. I did not want to get caught so they would not

know I was a walking pea. The bowling ball came out so fast it hit me in the head.

There I was lying on the floor with a big bowling ball on top of me. I heard an alarm

clock. So I pushed the ball off me. Then I jumped back in the bed. Before I knew it

the Princess found me and put me in the trash. That’s my side of the Princess and

the Pea.

Compare and contrast the Fox and the Crow:

Smart Crow and Fox

One day a fox took a walk in the woods. The fox saw a crow in a tree. The crow

had a tiny but very tasty smelling piece of cheese in her beak. "Mmmmmm! That is

one tiny but tasty smelling piece of cheese!" said the Fox. The fox wanted that piece

of cheese. She had to think of a way to get the crow to drop it. The fox looked up at

the crow and said, "Look at that beautiful bird! Oh! Is she gorgeous or what?!" The

crow puffed herself up with pride as the fox continued to talk. "I'm telling you, if that

bird could sing, she would be the queen of all birds. That's right! The queen of all

birds! If she could sing, that is . . ."

The crow wanted to be known as queen of all birds, so she opened her beak and let

out a Caw! Unfortunately, she also let out the tiny piece of cheese. The poor crow

watched the tiny piece of cheese drop, drop, and drop. It did not stop, until it popped

into the fox's mouth with a tiny kerplop! The fox swallowed and said, "That was

deliciously cheesy and surprisingly easy!" And she ran off into the woods with a skip

and a hop.

The crow realized that she had learned a very, very, very, very, very, very big

lesson: Beware of flatterers - you know, people who say nice things about you as a

trick, just to get something from you.

But the pigeons, Walter and Clay, didn't like that ending. They didn't like the way

that the fox seemed to be so smart. They didn't like the way that the bird seemed to

be such a birdbrain. So the cubs wrote a new story.

"The New Fox and Crow," by Lionel and Leona, and illustrated by Click the Mouse,

who scanned the pictures and printed the book!

A fox saw a crow in a tree. The crow had a very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very big piece of cheese in her beak. The fox said, "Look at that beautiful bird!

If she could sing, she would be the queen of all birds! That's right! The queen of all

birds!" The crow opened her beak and let out a Caw!

She also let out the very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very big piece of

cheese. And then she watched it drop, drop, drop, and drop onto the fox's head, with

a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very big . . . KERPLOP!

"Ouch!" said the fox. The crow laughed! And the fox learned a very big lesson:

Sometimes flatterers get flattened. And not all birds are birdbrains!

Smart Fox and Crow

A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on

a branch of a tree. "That's for me, as I am a Fox," said Master Reynard, and he

walked up to the foot of the tree. "Good-day, Mistress Crow," he cried. "How well

you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure

your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but

one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds." The Crow lifted up

her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the

piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. "That will

do," said he. "That was all I wanted. In exchange for your cheese I will give you a

piece of advice for the future: "Do not trust flatterers."

Compare and contrast the Boy Who Cried Wolf:

I’m the Boy I was given a big job to do: watching a big herd of sheep. I had to protect them from

the big hungry wolf. If I saw the wolf, the people from the village would come

running to catch him. This is a pretty tough job, so I got a book from the library

called "How to Watch Sheep." It said:

YOU MAY BE SCARED, YOU MAY BE WORRIED, THAT YOU WON'T KNOW, JUST WHAT

TO DO, IF SOMETHING BIG, AND BAD AND FURRY, COMES TRYING TO STEAL,

THOSE SHEEP FROM YOU! JUST CRY "WOLF!"

I was practicing shouting "wolf!" and the villagers heard me. They came running.

"Somebody cried 'wolf!' Where's the wolf?"

"I heard you cry 'wolf'? Are the sheep okay? What's happening?"

But there was no wolf, so I said, "False alarm! Sorry!" I went back to my job, and

the villagers went back to the village.

After a while, I decided to let the sheep know they were safe with me. I told them

that if I see a big wolf . . .

I'LL JUST CRY "WOLF!" A BIG BIG WOLF! JUST CRY "WOLF!" ALL THE FOLKS WILL

COME A-RUNNING. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CRY "WOLF!"

The villagers heard me talking to the sheep. They came running again.

"Somebody cried 'wolf!' again! Where's the wolf again?"

"I heard you cry 'wolf'? Are the sheep okay again? What's happening?"

But there was no wolf again, so I said, "False alarm! Sorry!" I went back to my job,

and again the villagers went back to the village.

This was fun! It's not often a whole village will listen to a kid like me. After a while, I

decided to practice one more time. If I see a big wolf . . .

I'LL JUST CRY "WOLF!" A BIG BIG WOLF! JUST CRY "WOLF!" ALL THE FOLKS WILL

COME A-RUNNING. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS CRY "WOLF!"

A big crowd from the little village came running to help me again. But there was no

big wolf again.

"Wow, you came even faster this time!" I said. The villagers were not happy. Not one

bit. "I don't believe this. That's the third time I came running for nothing! I think this

big job has gone to that little boy's head!"

And they all headed back to the village.

But then the big hungry wolf really did come to steal the sheep!

I cried "WOLF!" No one came.

I shouted "WOLF!" No one came again.

I yelled "WOLF!" No one came some more.

I screamed "WOLF!"

"That's me," said the wolf, and without so much as a huff or a puff, he disappeared

with all my sheep - the big ones and the little ones.

Boy, I was in big, big trouble! So, what did I learn from this?

Good question. I think I learned three things.

1. If you need help, people will come and help you, if they know you're telling the

truth.

2. Never lie about something as important as needing help.

3. If you see a wolf, keep a good watch on your sheep.

Boy Who Cried Wolf A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the

villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors

came to help him, laughed at them for their pains.

The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really

alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is

killing the sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any

assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed

the whole flock.

There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

We brought Calico inside and fed her. Kate’s Dad told us to let Calico out and

for us to follow her. He told us that Calico might have a surprise for us. We went

right out the door with Calico and followed her to the little house in the back yard.

Calico went inside the little house. We went inside slowly. That little house was scary

sometimes. There in a little box with blankets in it was Calico and her three baby

kittens. They were so little and sweet. Their eyes were not open yet, so they couldn’t

see us. We couldn’t wait until they got a little older so we can hold them. Calico had

Ral 3: Retell the plot of a story


Read to retell the plot of the story: Kimmie was visiting Aunt Jane at her house at the beach. It was

a beautiful summer day. Kimmie had built a giant sand castle that morning. Aunt Jane took pictures of the castle to send to Kimmie’s

parents. It was a great big sand castle. Later that morning, Kimmie and Aunt Jane went swimming in the ocean. It was fun to jump with

the waves. Then, they went in the house and ate sandwiches and

strawberries for lunch. Kimmie wanted to play on the beach that afternoon. Aunt Jane

told her it was too hot to go outside without a hat on. Kimmie didn’t have a hat. Aunt Jane told her not to worry, she could wear one of

hers. Kimmie tried on four hats. The pink one was really pretty, but it had a big bow in the back that was too long for Kimmie. The green hat

was too fancy for Kimmie. She did not like that hat at all. The blue hat was nice, but it had an ugly bird on it. Then, Kimmie saw a big brown

hat with a yellow ribbon on it. That hat was made of straw. It was a perfect hat for the beach. It was too big for Kimmie’s head, but she

didn’t care. It was a great hat!

Write down words that appeal to your senses when you read:

I have always loved strawberries. You can tell they are ripe and

ready to eat by their color. Green and yellow ones are still growing, but red ones are ready to be picked. Brown ones smell rotten and

should not be eaten. They have seeds you can see on the outside. They feel bumpy and smooth, with fuzzy hairs on them. Strawberries

are juicy to bite into. Sometimes you can hear a fresh “crunch” when you chew the seeds. I really like strawberries.

I just visited a barn for the first time. There were sheep and horses living there. The sheep were black and white with coarse, soft

wool. They made a “baa” sound when I was petting them. The horses were brown and white. They had short hair that I got to brush. They

neighed when I fed them a crunchy, orange carrot. Their area smelled like hay. I think they probably like to eat hay, too.

It was our first snow day of the year! I put on my new coat, red

mittens, and blue hat. The mittens felt scratchy on my hands, but I needed them to keep my hands warm as I threw snowballs. The snow

felt cold, and melted as I touched it. I could hear my mom calling for me to come inside. She had made me a mug of hot chocolate. It

smelled very good. It felt was warm and creamy as I sipped it.

Circle the theme of The Ant and the Grasshopper:

In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about,

chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the

nest.

"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"

"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same."

"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got

plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no

food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had

collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:

Ants and Grasshoppers should always be friends.

It is best to prepare before you need things.

Your friends will let you work when they play.

Explain how you know this: ________________________________________________________

Circle the theme of The Lion and The Mouse:

Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and

down upon him; this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. "Pardon, O

King," cried the little Mouse: "forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these

days?" The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go.

Some time after the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters who

desired to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him on. Just then the little Mouse

happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was, went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King

of the Beasts. "Was I not right?" said the little Mouse.

Unlikely friends can be the best of friends.

Lions should eat mice when they have the chance.

Mice are always right.

Circle the theme of The Crow and The Pitcher:

A Crow, half-dead with thirst, came upon a Pitcher which had once

been full of water; but when the Crow put its beak into the mouth of the Pitcher he found that only very little water was left in it, and that

he could not reach far enough down to get at it.

He tried, and he tried, but at last had to give up in despair. Then a thought came to him, and he took a pebble and dropped it into

the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped it into the

Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the

Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the Pitcher. Then he took another pebble and dropped that into the

Pitcher. At last, at last, he saw the water mount up near him, and after casting in a few more pebbles he was able to quench his thirst

and save his life

Pebbles can be used to get water from a pitcher.

Crows should never drink from pitchers.

Little by little solves the problem.
