Question: Bill dug a small hole and placed the seed inside. Then, he covered up the hole with dirt, and poured some water on it. It was such a small seed, and it was hard to believe that it would turn into a giant pumpkin.

Every day, Bill went out to the garden to check on the seed. Some days, if the ground was dry, he poured more water on it. After a few days, a tiny green plant started coming out of the ground. Bill kept checking every day, and the plant kept getting bigger and bigger.

Soon, there were tiny leaves on the plant. As the summer went on, the whole plant kept getting bigger and bigger. Soon, he could see tiny fruits starting to grow. They kept getting bigger and bigger. Eventually, he could tell that they were pumpkins!

That fall, the pumpkins were really big. Bill picked the biggest one and brought it to the fair. He got a blue ribbon for the biggest pumpkin!

Question: CHAPTER III

SAM BRINGS NEWS

As Tom ran over to his brother's side he could not help but give a glance at the flying machine, which was rising higher and higher in the air, with a noise from the engine that sounded like a battery of gattling guns in action.

"Hi! hi! Wot's that?" came in a startled voice from the other side of the barn, and Jack Ness, the Rovers hired man, came running into view. "By gum, if them boys ain't gone an' flew without waitin' fer that man to show 'em! Who's doin' it? I don't see nobuddy." And the hired man blinked in amazement at the sight before him. "Is Sam in there?"

"Nobody is in the machine," answered Tom, who was kneeling beside his brother. "Oh, gracious! Look at that!" he exclaimed.

"There goes the chimbley!" roared Jack Ness, as the biplane swooped just high enough to clear the roof of the Rover homestead. One of the wheels underneath struck a chimney a glancing blow, hurling the bricks in all directions. As they came clattering down, from the house out ran Mrs. Rover, followed by her husband and the hired help. Anderson Rover was away on business.

"What is the matter--is it a--er--a cyclone?" gasped Randolph Rover.

"I don't know, I'm sure," answered Mrs. Rover. "But it's a terrible noise."

"Look! look!" shrieked the cook, pointing upward. "Saints preserve us!" she moaned. "'Tis the end of the world!"

Question: The Age is a daily newspaper that has been published in Melbourne, Australia, since 1854. Owned and published by Fairfax Media, "The Age" primarily serves Victoria but is also available for purchase in Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and border regions of South Australia and southern New South Wales. It is delivered in both hardcopy and online formats. The newspaper shares many articles with other Fairfax Media metropolitan daily newspapers, such as "The Sydney Morning Herald".

As at February 2017, "The Age" had an average weekday circulation of 88,000, increasing to 152,000 on Saturdays (in a city of 4.2million). "The Sunday Age" had a circulation of 123,000.
