Question: Jamey really wanted a pet dog, so he went to ask his parents.

"Mom, Dad, can I we get a dog?"

Jamey's mom and dad thought about this, and then answered him.

"Having a pet can be a lot of work, Jamey. When you own a dog, you have to feed him, and take him for walks, and clean up after him. You even have to do those things when you would rather be playing or watching TV. If you promise to help take care of him, we'll get a dog."

Jamey was very happy to hear this! The next weekend, his mom and dad took him to a big building where puppies and kittens without homes were kept. It was very noisy inside! Jamey looked at a big yellow dog first.

"This dog is pretty big, Jamey," his father said. "He might need a bigger yard to run around in than we have."

Jamey thought that Dad was right about that. The next dog Jamey looked at was a very small white dog. It barked over and over again as Jamey and his mother looked at it.

"This dog is very noisy Jamey. He might need a lot of attention from you. Do you think you want to give this puppy that much attention?"

Jamey wasn't sure he could give the little white dog all the time it needed to be happy. Finally Jamey looked at a third dog, a brown dog that was bigger than the white dog, but smaller than the yellow one. The dog came over to Jamey right away and seemed to love to be petted and fussed over.

"Do you like the brown dog?" asked Jamey's dad.

"Yes!" said Jamey. "Can we get him?"

"Will you feed him and walk him every afternoon when you get home from school?" asked Jamey's mom.

"I promise," said Jamey.

"In that case, I guess we have a dog!"

Question: Dick was driving a large American car. As soon as the race started, he pulled out in front. As the race went on, he kept the first place. And he was far ahead of Wilson, the man in the second place. When the race was almost over, some people stood up and left. "Why did stay?" they thought. They were sure they knew who would win. But things did not go as they thought. A strange noise came from Dick's car. It slowed down. Something was wrong. Dick knew his car would not go far. His only hope was that he would make it to the finish. But on his last lap , the car stopped. Wilson's car roared by. Dick saw it go by. He knew he could not win now. "But I can finish the race," he thought. And he got out of his car. So did his assistant. They began to push the car to the finish. Wilson went by them again and again. He was on his last lap.

Question: CHAPTER L.

GOBBLEGOOSE WOOD ON SUNDAY.

The next two days were not quite so triumphant to Ayala as had been the evening of her arrival. There was hunting on both of those days, the gentlemen having gone on the Friday away out of Sir Harry's country to the Brake hounds. Ayala and the Colonel had arrived on the Thursday. Ayala had not expected to be asked to hunt again,--had not even thought about it. It had been arranged before on Nina's account, and Nina now was not to hunt any more. Lord George did not altogether approve of it, and Nina was quite in accord with Lord George,--though she had held up her whip and shaken it in triumph when she jumped over the Cranbury Brook. And the horse which Alaya had ridden was no longer in the stables. "My dear, I am so sorry; but I'm afraid we can't mount you," Lady Albury said. In answer to this Ayala declared that she had not thought of it for a moment. But yet the days seemed to be dull with her. Lady Rufford was,--well,--perhaps a little patronising to her, and patronage such as that was not at all to Ayala's taste. "Lady Albury seems to be quite a kind friend to you," Lady Rufford said. Nothing could be more true. The idea implied was true also,--the idea that such a one as Ayala was much in luck's way to find such a friend as Lady Albury. It was true no doubt; but, nevertheless, it was ungracious, and had to be resented. "A very kind friend, indeed. Some people only make friends of those who are as grand as themselves." 1. What was something they did at first?
2. Who went?
3. Where did they go?
4. Who showed up the day before?
5. Who else?
6. Which day was this?
7. Did they expect to go with them?
8. Why not?
9. That what?
10. Why else did she think she wouldn't go?
11. Who told her this?
12. Who kept her company?
13. Did she like her?
14. Why not?
15. How so?
16. In what way?
17. What exactly did she say?
18. Was this true?
19. What did she say back?
20. Was this a retort? Provide a numbered list of answers.
