THE UNLUCKY TWO

The teacher says as he points the passage: "I would like you to read this passage aloud."

Once upon a time, there lived a brother and a sister. Their parents were so poor that they could not take them to school. The boy was James and the girl was Jane. They used to stay at home while their parents went to look for food.

One day, James and Jane found a book in the forest. It had very beautiful pictures in it. They wanted to know what was written in it but they did not know how to read. They were unlucky for they could not tell what the book was all about.

TASK 2: COMPREHENSION (5 Marks)
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

Okomol and Elinah lived near a small river with his parents. There was also a small hill behind their home. The small river flowed down the hill. Okomol and Elinah played near the river everyday after coming back from school. They picked beautiful flowers and ran around the trees. They also played hide and seek. When it became very hot, they sat under the huge tree near the river to keep cool.
