Question: A man named Albert had the choice to build a tree house, a garage, a desk, or a cabinet. Albert chose to build something big to share with his kid, so he wanted to make a tree house. Albert had to choose what kind of stuff to make the tree house out of. Wood is popular, but splinters would hurt his son. Metal is very strong, but it would also be very hard to use. Plastic is not expensive, but it also bends a lot. The last choice was to give up, but Albert really wanted to do this for his son. It would make him very happy. Albert ended up choosing wood, as it was the most popular choice. Albert went to the store to buy nails, tools, and wood, but forgot to buy glue. He had to go back there and he finally had everything he needed. He got started and it was very hard. One hour went by, then two, then three, then four. Finally, on the fifth hour, Albert finally finished the tree house. His son ran out and jumped into his dad's arms. They both looked at it, and Albert's son gave his dad a kiss for all the hard work he had done. Albert looked at the tree house he had built and was very happy. He had done it all by himself, and he was happy to see his son being so happy as well. They would have a long summer of playing together in the tree house that Albert built. It was one of the best tree houses ever! 1. Who had a choice to make? Provide a numbered list of answers.

Question: CHAPTER III. 

THE CABIN OF THE MOONLIGHTERS. 

Bob Hubbard had been away from the Kenniston farm-house nearly half an hour when Ralph and George left it, but the latter was so well acquainted with the country that he did not need any guide to the cabin, and could not have had one, had he so desired, for Bob was far too cautious to be seen leading any one to his base of operations. 

It was well known by the owners of the torpedo patents that Robert Hubbard was the most skillful of all the moonlighters, and whenever he was seen traveling toward any of the wells that were being bored, he was followed, but, thanks to the fleetness of his horses, he had never been seen at his work by any one who would inform on him. 

Bob believed, as did a great many, that the firm holding the patent had no legal right to prevent any one from exploding nitro-glycerine by the means of a percussion cap placed in the top of a tin shell or cartridge. Several cases were before the courts undecided, and until a decision was reached, the owners of the patent would do all in their power to prevent any one from interfering in the business which they proposed to make a monopoly. Therefore, when Bob went about his work, he did so with quite as much mystery as if he had been engaged in some decidedly unlawful act. 

The ride from Sawyer, among the mountains, was quite as rough a one as that from Bradford, and Ralph found that he had about as much as he could attend to in keeping the guns, fishing-rods and himself in the carriage, without attempting to carry on any extended conversation with his friend. It was, therefore, almost in silence that the two rode along until George turned the horses abruptly from the main road into the woods, saying, as he did so:  1. What was rough?
2. From where?
3. What was the terrain like?
4. Who cared for the weapons?
5. Did he care for anything else as well?
6. What would distract him?
7. So what did they do instead?
8. Did they remain on the same path?
9. Where did they detour?
10. What type of house is Kenniston?
11. Who left first?
12. Was he considered to be the best at something?
13. Who thought this of him?
14. Was he a careless man?
15. How was he described?
16. What was yet to be determined?
17. Could he perform his duties out in the open?
18. How did he go about it?
19. Did someone need to show him how to get where he was going?
20. Was the ride from Bradford a smoothe one? Provide a numbered list of answers.

Question: Cindy and Mary were playing at recess. They were having a great time until Cindy brought up Allison's birthday party. Cindy had been invited to it, but Mary had not. This hurt Mary's feelings a lot. The girls kept on playing and Mary was trying to have fun, but all she felt like doing was crying. She couldn't believe that she had not been invited to Allison's birthday party. She thought that they were friends and if her best friend Cindy had been invited, why not her? 

After recess was over, the class walked back into the school. Mary saw Allison in line and tried to smile, but it was hard. Cindy felt horrible now that she had talked about the party that her friend was not going to. 

Mary found it hard to pay attention to the teacher now. She kept thinking over and over why Allison didn't invite her to the party. Did Mary do something to make Allison mad or to hurt her? She couldn't understand it. Her eyes started to get wet with tears. She was hoping that no one saw this. Mary thought she saw Allison looking at her in a funny way. Suddenly Mary felt like she was going to start crying. She reached into her desk to pull out some tissues. She felt a strange piece of paper. She pulled it out and there was the invitation to Allison's party. It had gotten mixed up in her papers in her desk. She immediately started to smile. She smiled at Allison and at Cindy. Cindy gave her a puzzled look because she thought that Mary was sad.
