1 1 of 6 Student Name: Directions: Read this passage and answer the following questions. The Gift 1 One windy day in March, Mary Miller was on her way to school when she looked in a store window. She saw lovely red apples. "Oh", she said, "how lovely! If only Mamma could have one!" 2 Mary's mother was very poor. She had been a nurse ever since Mary's father died. She had worked hard to earn a living for herself and Mary. But now she had become sick. She was obliged to lie in bed all day, and when Mary was away at school, the house was very lonesome. She missed her little angel. That is what she called Mary. Mary took care of her mother. She cooked her food. Mostly she cooked soup. They could not afford fresh fruit. She would sing to her at night. 3 She was usually a good student, but that day she made so many mistakes that the teacher looked at her in surprise. She was not paying attention. She was thinking about her mother and the apples. When school was dismissed, Mary started home. She had gone only a short distance when she saw a man in front of her drop his wallet. Running quickly forward she picked it up. There must be a good deal of money in it, thought Mary. How I wish I could keep it. Then I could buy Mamma a red apple and so many other things she needs. 4 She knew this would not be right, so she hurried after the man. Touching him on the arm, she said, "Please, Sir, you dropped your wallet." 5 "Thank you," said the man taking the wallet. Then noticing how poorly she was dressed, he said, "Why did you not keep the wallet?" 6 "Because that would be stealing," replied Mary. "But," she continued honestly, "before I thought I must give it back to you, I did wish I could keep it, for then I could buy Mamma a red apple." 7 He smiled kindly and said, "You are a good little girl to return my wallet. I would like to give you a little present and then you can buy a red apple." He handed her a dollar and then said goodbye. 8 Mary was so surprised that she ran to the store. The store owner happened to look out and saw the same little girl who stood looking so longingly in at his window in the morning. He quickly picked out the biggest, roundest, reddest apple he could find. He took it out to Mary and said, "Would you like this one?" 9 She took the apple and gave him the dollar. No charge, he said, returning it. 10 When Mary reached home with her treasures, she found her mother fast asleep. She put the apples and dollar on a plate where her mother could see them when she awoke. When Mrs. Miller was told the wonderful story, she kissed her little daughter and said, "You see, dear, it always pays to be honest and truthful."

Making Orange Juice 1 What is the best part about eating an orange? There are many things to choose from. Your eye may notice the fruit s bright orange skin. Just the sight of an orange may be enough to make your mouth water! When you peel off the rough skin, the sweet smell tickles your nose. When you bite into the fruit, the juice wakes up your taste buds. 2 There is another way to enjoy the taste of an orange. You can make orange juice. Making orange juice is easy and fun, and you only need a few things. You need six oranges, and an adult to help cut them. You will also need a pitcher and some cups. 3 First, squeeze the oranges to get them soft. Then wash the oranges. Have the adult help you cut the oranges in half safely. Take out the seeds from each half. Now you are ready to squeeze out the juice. Grip half an orange and squeeze the juice into a pitcher. Turn the orange and squeeze again. Keep squeezing until no more juice comes out. Repeat with each orange half. 4 You have some choices when you make orange juice. If you like, you can scrape the orange with a spoon and add the fruit to the juice. Or if you do not like pulp, place a strainer over the pitcher. This will catch all the orange bits, and only juice will fall into the pitcher. If you want cold orange juice, add ice to the pitcher. 5 Now you are ready to pour the orange juice into a cup. You may want to share with a friend. Drink the juice and enjoy! (Lexile Level: 640) Diebels. *Permission granted for classroom use.
