Holy Family School 5th primary

I- Comprehension:
Read the following then answer the questions:

It was a Saturday. On top of that, there was a sale at Merry Shopping Centre. The crowd there was quite big.
Karen told her little sister to hold onto her hand as they entered the shopping centre. Tomorrow was their
mother’s birthday. Karen and her sister went up the escalator * to the third floor where there were shops selling
rings and necklaces. Karen was so busy in looking at the beautiful rings that she simply forgot all about her
little sister. When she finally chose one and turned around, she was shocked to discover that her sister was not
there. She was very worried and afraid. She called her name out and started searching for her little sister all over
the third floor.

She started to cry when her sister didn’t answer her calls. She looked at the escalator and a terrible thought went
through her head. “No, please don’t let that happen,” she prayed in her heart. Suddenly she heard a familiar
voice behind her. She turned around and to her relief, there was her sister, holding an ice cream in one hand and
holding out another to Karen. Karen was so happy and hugged her sister. The lady beside the little girl said that
she found her crying and walking alone and bought her an ice cream. She asked for one for her sister! She then
saw Karen and ran quickly towards her with the lady. Karen thanked the lady and went home with her sister,
both with an ice cream each in their hands.
