Answer the questions at the end based on the text.

There was once a little fairy named Twinkles who lived in an old willow tree. The tree grew next to a river in a large, green forest. Twinkles loved to fly around the forest with her best friend Betsy the Bat. Betsy was a very forgetful bat. One day Twinkles and Betsy were playing next to the bushes by the river bank when Betsy shouted, "Oh no, I've forgotten my lunch that my mom packed for me today! It is late in the afternoon and I am hungry."

"Do not worry," said Twinkles. "I am going to wait here for you until you get back."

With that, Betsy flew off toward her home in the wet cave near the other end of the river. An hour went by and Betsy still had not returned. "Hmm," thought Twinkles, "I wonder where Betsy went off to." Twinkles flew off to find her best friend.

Soon, she heard a voice calling from down below. "Help me! I'm stuck!" Twinkles looked down. Sure enough, it was Betsy! She had been caught in a pile of sticky mud near the mouth of the cave.

"Don't worry, I am coming to save you!" cried Twinkles. Twinkles swooped down to the ground. She found a strong stick nearby that she could use to help her pull Betsy out of the thick mud. Betsy grabbed the end of the stick that Twinkles held out to her. After some heavy tugging, Betsy was free.

"Thank you so very much for pulling me out of the mud! I was looking for some berries to use for jam down by the river. They grow on the bushes there. I wanted some for a little dessert after my lunch. I accidentally walked into the pile of mud on the floor and got stuck."

"No problem," said Twinkles. "That's what friends are for."

Question: CHAPTER III

They had dinner in the open-air, tree-walled dining-room, and Saxon noted that it was Billy who paid the reckoning for the four. They knew many of the young men and women at the other tables, and greetings and fun flew back and forth. Bert was very possessive with Mary, almost roughly so, resting his hand on hers, catching and holding it, and, once, forcibly slipping off her two rings and refusing to return them for a long while. At times, when he put his arm around her waist, Mary promptly disengaged it; and at other times, with elaborate obliviousness that deceived no one, she allowed it to remain.

And Saxon, talking little but studying Billy Roberts very intently, was satisfied that there would be an utter difference in the way he would do such things... if ever he would do them. Anyway, he'd never paw a girl as Bert and lots of the other fellows did. She measured the breadth of Billy's heavy shoulders.

"Why do they call you 'Big' Bill?" she asked. "You're not so very tall."

"Nope," he agreed. "I'm only five feet eight an' three-quarters. I guess it must be my weight."

"He fights at a hundred an' eighty," Bert interjected.

"Oh, out it," Billy said quickly, a cloud-rift of displeasure showing in his eyes. "I ain't a fighter. I ain't fought in six months. I've quit it. It don't pay."

"Yon got two hundred the night you put the Frisco Slasher to the bad," Bert urged proudly. 1. What synonym for "bill" is used to describe what Billy paid?
2. What is Billy's surname?
3. What did Bert take off Mary's hand?
4. How many?
5. Did he give them back promptly?
6. What is Billy's nickname?
7. True or False: The nickname was given because he is tall.
8. How much does Bert say the fighter weighs?
9. True or False: Billy beat the Slasher in a fight.
10. Does Billy still fight?
11. Why not?
12. True or False: The group ate indoors.
13. How many diners were there?
14. Who is Bert controlling of?
15. What did he do with her waist?
16. Did the group know anyone else in the restaurant?
17. How many others, exactly?
18. True or False: Saxon spoke a lot.
19. What does Saxon think he wouldn't do as others did?
20. How much did Billy win for beating the Frisco Slasher? Provide a numbered list of answers.

Q: (CNN) -- Police in Jackson, Mississippi, have prepared an arrest warrant for former television host Gary Collins for leaving the scene of an accident, police spokesman Colendula Green told CNN.

Officers were called to the scene Monday afternoon but when police arrived, only one of the parties involved was there.

The victim "had been stopped at a red light and was rear-ended by a white Jeep, driven by Gary Collins," Green said.

Collins' lawyer, Tom Royals, said his client had gotten out of his vehicle, examined the accident, and exchanged information with the driver of the other car.

After calling the police, Collins left because he had been waiting for some time and he thought he had done all that was required, Royals said.

"The other party knew his information," Royals said. "And in fact Collins knew someone in the car. They talked a while and then he left."

Green agreed that the ex-actor had provided his contact information but said Jackson Police have cited Collins for leaving the scene of an accident, a misdemeanor. Police are waiting to execute the arrest warrant once a judge signs off on it.

The other driver is pressing charges, Green said.

"It was not a serious accident," Royals said. "It was really just a minor fender-bender."

Collins is known for being a TV and radio personality, and is married to former Miss America Mary Anne Mobley. As an actor, he is known his role in the television series "The Sixth Sense," and "The Wackiest Ship in the Army."
