READING

1. Read the following story and answer the questions

The Rooster and the Fox

A rooster sat perched way up in a tree, crowing loudly. A fox heard him and came
running to see if he could get a chicken dinner. On the way he thought up a plan to get
the rooster to come down. “Hello, brother Rooster,” he said in his nicest voice. “Have
you heard of the universal peace agreement that has happened between all the
animals? We will none of us ever eat each other again but live in peace. Why don’t you
come down and we can talk about this great news?”
The rooster knew what kind of animal the fox was. He knew the fox was trying to trick
him. So he decided to trick him back. He looked very closely at something far in the
distance. “What are you looking at up there?” asked the fox. “I think I see a pack of dogs
coming this way on a fox hunt.”
“Well, if that is the case, I better be off,” said the fox.
”But why would you be afraid of dogs in a time of peace like this?” asked the clever
rooster.
“I am not sure they have heard about the new agreement of peace,” he said and took
off.

1. What was the crow doing when he was up in the tree?

2. Why did the fox run towards the rooster when he heard him?

3. What was the plan that the fox thought of?

4. What was the new agreement of peace between animals?

5. How did the rooster get rid of the fox?

6. Make a drawing of what you think the cover of this story could be.
