Q: Shelly wanted a puppy. She asked her mommy and daddy every day for one. She told them that she would help take care of the puppy, if she could have one. Her mommy and daddy talked it over and said that they would get Shelly a new puppy.

Her mommy took her to the dog pound so that she could choose one that she wanted. All the puppies at the dog pound need a loving home.

Shelly went to every cage and looked each puppy in the eyes and talked to each one. After each one, she told her mommy, "No, this isn't the one for me."

Q: (CNN) -- Thus far, NBC's late-night transition has been like butter.

Jay Leno hosted his final episode of "The Tonight Show" on February 6 with massive celebrity support and even bigger ratings, and Jimmy Fallon took over on February 17 with the same level of excitement.

But there's still one more piece of the Peacock's puzzle left to be added: Seth Meyers.

At 12:35 a.m., the 40-year-old "Saturday Night Live" star will step behind the desk of "Late Night" and occupy a chair once filled by David Letterman, Conan O'Brien and, directly before him, his pal and fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum Fallon.

With that kind of history, it goes without saying that there's pressure on Meyers not to screw up. Yet instead of marching in and tearing down "Late Night's" past, Meyers is planning to keep tradition intact while playing to his strengths.

After 12 years on "SNL," nine of which he served as head writer, Meyers is by all accounts more of a cerebral comedian than a performer. His colleagues give him credit for being the guy who'd rather set up the joke than steal the thunder, and some of his best work doesn't even include his face. See: Tina Fey as Sarah Palin:

Or Louis C.K. as Abraham Lincoln:

Or Amy Poehler killing it as a rapping Sarah Palin:

"There's the class clown, and then there's the guy who sits in the back and says an aside about the class clown," Meyers said to The Wall Street Journal. "That's me."

Answer the following questions:
1. Who was taking over for Jay Leno?
2. How old is Myers?
3. Did he intend to tear down Late Nights past?
4. What did he do before Late Night?
5. How long was he there?
6. What was hid job there for 9 of those years?
7. Who did he write some of his best work for?
8. Who else?
9. Anyone else?
10. In what publication did he say he would make a joke about the class clown?
11. When did Leno host his last episode?
12. When did Fallon start?
13. What was his reception?
14. What channel are their shows on?
A: 1. Jimmy Fallon
2. 40
3. No
4. SNL
5. 12 years
6. Head writer
7. Tina Fey
8. Louis C.K.
9. Amy Poehler
10. The Wall Street Journal.
11. February 6
12. February 17
13. Great excitement
14. NBC
Q: CHAPTER XLVIII

All the evening Melbury had been coming to his door, saying, "I wonder where in the world that girl is! Never in all my born days did I know her bide out like this! She surely said she was going into the garden to get some parsley."

Melbury searched the garden, the parsley-bed, and the orchard, but could find no trace of her, and then he made inquiries at the cottages of such of his workmen as had not gone to bed, avoiding Tangs's because he knew the young people were to rise early to leave. In these inquiries one of the men's wives somewhat incautiously let out the fact that she had heard a scream in the wood, though from which direction she could not say.

This set Melbury's fears on end. He told the men to light lanterns, and headed by himself they started, Creedle following at the last moment with quite a burden of grapnels and ropes, which he could not be persuaded to leave behind, and the company being joined by the hollow-turner and the man who kept the cider-house as they went along.

They explored the precincts of the village, and in a short time lighted upon the man-trap. Its discovery simply added an item of fact without helping their conjectures; but Melbury's indefinite alarm was greatly increased when, holding a candle to the ground, he saw in the teeth of the instrument some frayings from Grace's clothing. No intelligence of any kind was gained till they met a woodman of Delborough, who said that he had seen a lady answering to the description her father gave of Grace, walking through the wood on a gentleman's arm in the direction of Sherton.

Answer the following questions:
1. Who was being looked for?
2. Who was the main person looking for her?
3. Were other folks assisting?
4. Where did they finally come across some evidence?
5. Did they meet anyone who had noticed her?
6. Where was he from?
7. Who did he see her with?
8. Where were they heading?
9. What time of day did her dad first start wondering about her whereabouts?
10. Was it usual for her to be out so late?
11. Where did he think she was?
12. How many places did he look before asking the gentlemen's spouses?
13. What place did he stay away from?
14. Why?
15. Did he come across any information?
16. From whom?
