Reading: Two sisters and the cat. (6 marks)
Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Smith are sisters. Mrs. Wilson lives in a house in
Duncan and Mrs. Smith lives in a condominium in Victoria. One day Mrs.
Wilson visited her sister. When her sister answered the door, Mrs. Wilson
saw tears in her eyes. "What's the matter?" she asked. Mrs. Smith said
"My cat Sammy died last night and I have no place to bury him".

She began to cry again. Mrs. Wilson was very sad because she knew her
sister loved the cat very much. Suddenly Mrs. Wilson said "I can bury
your cat in my garden in Duncan and you can come and visit him
sometimes." Mrs. Smith stopped crying and the two sisters had tea
together and a nice visit.

It was now five o'clock and Mrs. Wilson said it was time for her to go
home. She put on her hat, coat and gloves and Mrs. Smith put the dead
Sammy into a shopping bag. Mrs. Wilson took the shopping bag and
walked to the bus stop. She waited a long time for the bus so she
bought a newspaper. When the bus arrived, she got on the bus, sat
down and put the shopping bag on the floor beside her feet. She then
began to read the newspaper. When the bus arrived at her bus stop, she
got off the bus and walked for about two minutes. Suddenly she
remembered she had left the shopping bag on the bus.
