By ADE IRMA SURIANTY

Fill in the story elements of text 1 (“The Man and the Pears”) in the following table.

THE MAN AND THE PEARS

A man was invited to a wedding in another town. As he walked 1
along the road he saw some pears. They were beside the path. The
man was hungry enough to eat them. But he did not want to. He was
looking forward to the wonderful food at the wedding. So, he kicked
the pears into the ditch.

A little while later the man had to cross a small river. But it had 2
rained so much that the little bridge was washed away. There were
no boats around.

So, at last the man had to give up all hope of getting across. He 3
turned around to go home. And now he was very hungry. When he
saw the pears in the ditch, he was glad to pull them out and eat them.

Don’t be took quick not to like things you think you don’t need. 4
Someday you may be glad to have them. (Moral Value)
