Every evening, the river path was crowded with animals, all in the same direction, causing great traffic jams and giving rise to many discussions.
One afternoon a giraffe said to a little lion:
-
If you go up to my neck, we will leave one more hole and a little before we will arrive. And the lion jumped to his neck.
The next day, the lion did the same and said to a zebra:
- If you climb on my back, a hole we will leave and a little before we will arrive.
And the zebra, although hesitated a few seconds, jumped and climbed the lion's back.
The next day, the zebra did the same and said to a rabbit:
- If you climb on my back, one more hole we will leave and a little before we will arrive. And the rabbit jumped contentedly on top of the zebra.
One day later, the rabbit did the same and said to a mouse:
-
If you travel between my ears, one more hole we will leave and a little before we will arrive. And the mouse jumped and grabbed happily to the ears of the rabbit.
The following afternoon, the mouse did the same and told a cricket:
- If you get on my tail, a hole will be left and a little before we will arrive. And the cricket singing went up the tail of the mouse very happy.
And thanks to the great idea of the giraffe, the path of the river, little by little it was cleared and, all the animals arrived before their destination and stopped arguing.
Reading comprehension activities for children
Reading comprehension is almost as important as learning to read in itself. To help your children acquire the routine of understanding what they read, we suggest asking them these questions about the text:
- How many animals are you able to remember?
- What animal initiated the proposal to collaborate so that there were fewer animals on the trail?
- Did all the animals manage to reach their destination?
