SAMPLE PAPER

1 The Unlucky Lizard

Ages back, Lizard and Frog both sat upright like dogs. Then came the day that things changed
forever for Lizard. The pair were strolling along a dusty trail near their swamp. Around a bend, they
noticed a lush green field with a clear blue pond. They hankered for a visit, but a sturdy wooden
fence blocked the way.

“I’d sure love a swim in that sweet water,” said Frog longingly.

“I’d sure love to catch some fine insects there,” pined Lizard.

So the two approached the fence, which seemed to grow taller and more threatening with each step.
To make things worse, the fence boards fit snugly together and were buried deep in the ground.
They saw no possibility to clamber over nor dig under.

Frog and Lizard sat upright like dogs by that frustrating fence, pondering how to get to the other
side. Then Frog spied a thin crevice near the ground. “I’m going to squeeze myself through,” he
announced. So he shoved and squirmed and wriggled until he popped out on the other side!

“Your turn, Lizard,” Frog hollered. So Lizard scuttled to the crack. He pressed and squashed and
struggled to get through. He pushed so hard that a fence board tumbled and flattened him. After
that, Lizard never again sat like a dog, but could only slither close to the ground. Frog and Lizard
remained friends despite Lizards’ flatter appearance.
