Pike’s Dinner Party
Pike was a kind fellow, so he invited his relations to the first dinner he would make. Eager to please them, he set out to shop. To his surprise, he found butter beside a cow! Pike took it with him.
Soon he found fish and spices, too. He realized the shopping was easy! How did he get so lucky? Pike set off to cook!
When his guests arrived, Pike heard them grumbling to each other. “Why are you so miserable?” Pike asked in confusion.
“Someone took our food!” his uncle cried. “Making lunch tomorrow will be difficult when it should have been easy!”
Pike’s face got hot. He asked for their attention. “Let’s dine!”
Pike waited for their reaction. “Our food is on the table!” they cried. Then Pike made his admission. He had been a fool. His
relations came to the conclusion that Pike had made a mistake. They all decided to forgive him. Plus, the dinner was nice!

Traveling to Antarctica
Travel to Antarctica is not easy. This is because of
distance, weather, and modes of travel needed. But that hasn’t stopped people from going. For a chance to see its beauty, as many as 20,000 people might travel there over one year.
If you want to see Antarctica, you can travel by ship or by plane. Sea crossings and shore visits are what most people do.
Others like to see the landscape by flying over it. But because of the ice, a plane cannot land there.
For researchers, there is a land base set up on Antarctica.
Special land trips are possible with a guide. If you are not prepared, however, accidents can cause a person to get hurt or even killed.
This is because of the extreme weather and cold. Travel to this beautiful, cold place is not for everyone!
1. What causes people to travel to Antarctica? Underline the cause in the first paragraph.
fi
2. Put a box around the effect of ice on plane travel to Antarctica.
3. Explain the effect of not being prepared for a land trip to Antarctica. What causes this?
This is an example
of a cause.

Baking Day for the Red Hen
Hazy the red hen was longing to make some bread! She found some wheat seeds. “Who will help me plant these?” Hazy asked her barnyard friends.
The pig said, “I’m too sleepy.”
So Hazy planted them herself. They grew tall. “Who will help me harvest the wheat?” she asked.
The barn cat said, “Not me-ow!”
So Hazy harvested the wheat herself and also milled the flour.
“Who will help me bake the bread?” she asked. The horse just neighed.
When the bread came out of the oven, it smelled delicious. The animals all begged to eat a slice. Hazy said, “I don’t need any help with that, but thanks just the same.”
1. What do you learn about Hazy in the story?
