The sounds awakened her,
though her sister slept on. She snuck
out and hurried following the noise
and the lights shining. She looked at
the scene that was enfolding before
her. She touched the shoulder of a
fireman who was reaching for a fire-
extinguisher stowed and raising her
little voice asked, "What happened?"
"Accident!" He jumped down from
the truck's cab and rushed off. She
repeated, "Accident? In the middle of
the night?"
In the midst of the firemen and
paramedics, she ignored the bustle
around her and looked about to see
if anyone noticed the eleven-year-
old girl in a pink bathrobe and
slippers who had just joined them.
She crouched and peered under the
Chevy Blazer that perched half on
and half off the sidewalk. A bicycle
lay crumpled. She recognized it. It
was her sister's!

shining brightly. She looked about quickly at

She tentatively touched the shoulder of a
fireman who was reaching for a fire-
extinguisher stowed just inside the cab of
the truck and raising her little voice asked
worriedly, "What happened?" "Accident!"
He jumped down from the truck's cab and
rushed off. She repeated quietly, "Accident?
In the middle of the night?"
In the midst of the firemen and
paramedics she ignored the bustle around
her and looked about to see if anyone
noticed the eleven-year-old girl in a pink
bathrobe and slippers who had just joined
them. She crouched down and quickly
peered under the Chevy Blazer that
perched precariously half on and half off the
sidewalk. A bicycle lay crumpled beneath

immediately. It was her sister's!

What I Have Learned

TASK 7: READING CORNER
Directions: Read the paragraph and answer the questions that follow. Write your answer in a

Good Deed

I learned about the joy of helping others when I was in kindergarten. One of my
classmates had forgotten his snack, so he had nothing to eat during recess. Nobody
wanted to share with him because we were all very hungry and it was really his own fault
that he would have to go without. That day my mother had packed my favorite treat: a
chocolate and peanut butter cup. I wanted it all for myself, but my mother had often told
me that I should share, so I broke my chocolate and peanut butter cup in half and gave
my forgetful classmate half. He nearly fell over in surprise. Then he smiled the biggest
smile I had ever seen and I suddenly felt the greatest happiness I had ever felt. After
that, I always looked for chances to help people, because it always made them and me
feel good.
