Mouse Deer and Tiger

I’m quick and smart as I can be.

Try and try, but you can’t catch me!

Mouse Deer sang his song as he walked through the forest. He was looking for tasty fruits and roots and shoots.

Though he was small, he was not afraid. He knew that many big animals wanted to eat him. But first they had to catch him!

Then he heard something. Rowr!

There was Tiger!

“Hello, Mouse Deer. I was just getting hungry. Now you can be my lunch.”

Mouse Deer didn’t want to be lunch. He looked around and thought fast. He saw a mud puddle.

“I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his pudding.”

“His pudding?” said Tiger.

“Yes. There it is.” Mouse Deer pointed to the mud puddle. “It has the best taste in the world. The King doesn’t want anyone else to eat it.”

Tiger looked longingly at the puddle. “I would like to taste the King’s pudding.”

“Oh, no, Tiger! The King would be very angry.”

“Just one little taste, Mouse Deer! The King will never know.”

“Well, all right, Tiger. But first let me run far away, so no one will blame me.”

“All right, Mouse Deer, you can go now.”

Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight.

“Imagine!” said Tiger. “The King’s pudding!” He took a big mouthful.

Phooey! He spit it out.

“Yuck! Ugh! Bleck! That’s no pudding. That’s mud!”

Tiger ran through the forest. Rowr! He caught up with Mouse Deer.

“Mouse Deer, you tricked me once. But now you will be my lunch!”

Mouse Deer looked around and thought fast. He saw a wasp nest in a tree.

“I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his drum.”

“His drum?” said Tiger.

“Yes. There it is.” Mouse Deer pointed to the wasp nest. “It has the best sound in the world. The King doesn’t want anyone else to hit it.”

Tiger said, “I would like to hit the King’s drum.”

“Oh, no, Tiger! The King would be very angry.”

“Just one little hit, Mouse Deer! The King will never know.”

“Well, all right, Tiger. But first let me run far away, so no one will blame me.”

“All right, Mouse Deer, you can go now.”

Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight.

“Imagine!” said Tiger. “The King’s drum!” He reached up and hit it. Pow.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The wasps all flew out. They started to sting Tiger.

“Ouch! Ooch! Eech! That’s no drum. That’s a wasp nest!”

Tiger ran away. But the wasps only followed him! Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

“Ouch! Ooch! Eech!”

Tiger came to a stream. He jumped in—splash!—and stayed underwater as long as he could. At last the wasps went away.

Then Tiger jumped out. Rowr! He ran through the forest till he found Mouse Deer.

“Mouse Deer, you tricked me once. You tricked me twice. But now you will be my lunch!”

Mouse Deer looked around and thought fast. He saw a cobra! The giant snake was coiled asleep on the ground.

“I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his belt.”

“His belt?” said Tiger.

“Yes. There it is.” Mouse Deer pointed to the cobra. “It’s the best belt in the world. The King doesn’t want anyone else to wear it.”

Tiger said, “I would like to wear the King’s belt.”

“Oh, no Tiger! The King would be very angry.”

“Just for one moment, Mouse Deer! The King will never know.”

“Well, all right, Tiger. But first let me run far away, so no one will blame me.”

“All right, Mouse Deer, you can go now.”

Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight.

“Imagine!” said Tiger. “The King’s belt!” He started to wrap it around himself.

The cobra woke up. Ssssssssssssss. It didn’t wait for Tiger to finish wrapping. It wrapped itself around Tiger. Then it squeezed him and bit him. Sstt!

“Ooh! Ow! Yow! That’s no belt. That’s a cobra! Help! Mouse Deer! Help!”

But Mouse Deer was far away. And as he went, he sang his song.

I’m quick and smart as I can be.

Try and try, but you can’t catch me

OPTION 1:

Dogs are universally known and loved pets. Many dog owners take pride in their pups, and spend large amounts of money in order to get the most exotic and best-trained breeds. But one of the biggest hurdles that pet owners come across is whether to get a large or  small dog.

Large dogs come with many benefits. Because of their incredible size and weight, they may come off as intimidating to other people. Some owners may take the liberty to train their big pets as guard or attack dogs. Other's just love having a large animal to cuddle with.

Small dogs are also an option for dog lovers. In contrast to big dogs, small dogs can be low maintenance. As for teaching them tricks, smaller dogs are more likely to appear on luxurious shows like the Beverly Hills dog show mainly because of their small stature. Many small dog owners enjoy dressing their dogs up and toting them around to show them off.

Both large and small dogs are great pet choices. Dogs can offer emotional support to their owners, and owning them can be therapeutic. Both large and small dogs can be cute and lovable, and they each have their own pros and cons, it all just comes down to the preference of the pet owner.

OPTION 2:

What is it like to transition from elementary to middle school? That is a question many kids ask each year. Having experienced both, I can tell you that there are plenty of similarities as well as some very big differences between the two types of schools. Elementary schools and middle schools have many traits in common.

Typically, both are open five days a week for a set number of hours each day. Students sit at desks in classrooms and are expected to listen to and learn from their teachers. There is a set time for lunch. Each day, students are given homework assignments. Students take quizzes and tests. In all of these ways, middle school should feel somewhat familiar to new students.

However, there are some big changes that new middle school students should be aware of. In elementary school, students usually stay in the same classroom with one teacher for most of the day. That is not the case in middle school, where students typically have a different teacher for each subject. Students must move to a different classroom for each subject too. Since there is not one classroom in which to store supplies, middle schools often provide students with lockers. For many kids, getting a locker is a welcome rite of passage.

Making the move from elementary school to middle school may seem scary, but knowing what to expect can really help. Elementary school provides kids with the experiences they need to be ready for middle school. Even though moving on means adjusting to a new environment, some things, including many of the classmates who accompany you, will remain the same

Can someone do me an rant speech about homework

Answers

Answer:

When it comes to homework, I'm not sure where to begin because my brain is still fried from the last time I did it. I'm not really sure what the point is. For starters, it takes a long time, and it's the weekend! Playing outside or watching TV should be my only homework. Another reason why I'm looking forward to the end of the school year. But, I'm hoping there won't be a summer packet. Because who wants to do homework in the summer? it is just a waste of time and should only be done in school. You're telling me that 'm in school 7 hours a day. 5 days a week and I only have 2 days to relax. Some of us have sports and thing to do with family. Some of us don't have time at all during the weekends. That should be to ourselves school shouldn't be involved in my days off.

Read the passage and answer the question.

[1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the
tree yuccas.Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that
triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The
yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old
[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is
slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even
the moonlight fearful. But it isn't always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while
yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of
sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their
[10] own delectation.

In the last sentence of the passage, the author uses the word "flower" to describe a stage in the yucca tree's growth. Which word has a similar denotation to "flower" but would create a more awe-filled tone?

develop
flourish
mature
unfold

Answers

Answer:

Flourish

Explanation:

Answer:

I think it's either develop or flourish but I think its flourish since its asking you to create a more awe-filling tone. If it was develop then it would be asking for a more matured tone but yeah sorry if I sound rumbling but I think its B.Flourish

[BLANCA FLOR joins JUANITO.]

Blanca Flor (quietly calling). Juanito.

Juanito. Blanca Flor, is it time?

Blanca Flor. Yes. We must leave quickly, before he finds out I am gone, or it will be too late.

Juanito. Won't he know you are gone as soon as he calls for you?

Blanca Flor. Not right away. I've used my powers to fool him. But it won't last long. Let's go!

Gabriella predicts that Blanca Flor will safely escape Don Ricardo. Which line or statement best clues Gabriella to her prediction?

“We must leave quickly.”
Juanito waited for her.
Blanca Flor packed her belongings into a bag.
“I've used my powers to fool him.”

Answers

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

I think the answer is D, in order to escape she would use her powers to fool him.  

The line that best clues Gabreilla to her prediction is option D which is "I've used my powers to fool him.”

What did Gabriella predict?

Blanca Flor spat three times into the fire, indicating that she will assist them in their time of need. This act foreshadows her choice to flee Don Ricardo in order to save Juanito.

The spit is part of her power, which will aid them anytime Don Ricardo speaks her name (as we will witness in the next moments).

She would utilize her abilities to deceive Don Ricardo in order to get away from him.

Or crust and sugar over-

Or does it explode?

What is this poem trying to tell you about life?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The speaker in Langston Hughes's "Harlem: A Dream Deferred" asks what happens when we do not accomplish our dreams. Notice that most of the comparisons he makes are negative, which is illustrated by his word choice - "fester", "explode", "dry up", "rotten".

What the poem is trying to tell us about life is that we should not allow our dreams to be deferred, postponed. Nothing good comes from neglecting our dreams. We should go for it, try our best. It is not only important to have dreams, but also to hold fast to them. Even though we must encounter hardships as we work for them to happen, we should not lose faith.
