Lamb was unhappy. He was tired of the cold weather. "The snow makes my
feet cold," Lamb said to Goat. "My feet feel like blocks of ice."
"I like winter," said Goat. "There are lots of fun things to do, and it is beautiful.
But do not worry. Winter is almost finished, and springtime will be here soon."
"I do not want to wait for springtime," Lamb said. "I want to solve my problem
now." Lamb looked for something to keep his feet warm. He found some rocks.
"Can the rocks keep my feet warm?" he asked Goat. "No," said Goat. Lamb
looked for something else to keep his feet warm. He moved his eyes up and
down and noticed some pine cones on the ground. "Can the pine cones keep
my feet warm?" he asked Goat. "No," said Goat.
Lamb looked for something else to keep his feet warm. He found some

"Make me some socks from the pine needles, then," the lazy Lamb
demanded. Goat helpfully tied the pine needles together to make a pair of
socks. Lamb put the socks on his feet. Lamb walked into the snow. His feet were
as warm as toast. "Now my feet are not cold!" said Lamb.
The next day Lamb put the pine-needle socks around his feet and went out
to the field. The snow that had covered the ground was gone. Lamb heard a
baby bird singing in its nest. He saw a bee flying around some bright flowers.

Read the following passage. Answer the Questions.
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is one of the most famous scientists of all time. His discoveries
changed the way we understand the universe. He was more than smart. He
was a genius. But he started out as an odd child who worried his parents.
Childhood
When Albert was born in Germany in 1879, his head was very large. His
mother worried that something was wrong. As a baby, he did not try to make
words the way other babies did. He did not seem to be learning to talk. His
parents were worried about this, too!
Before he was three years old, his parents told him a surprise was coming.
Albert was expecting a toy. That surprise turned out to be a baby sister. Albert
said, "But where are the wheels?" Albert could talk after all!
When Albert was around five years old, his father gave him a compass.
Albert noticed that the needle always pointed north. It made him think. What
hidden force controlled that needle? His interest in science began.
Education:
At school, Albert was a difficult student. At that time, teachers taught
children to memorize facts and recite them quickly. Albert preferred to think
things over and use his imagination. He only worked hard at things that
interested him. He did not like school, and many teachers did not like him!
In 1895, when Albert was 15, his family moved to Italy. Albert stayed behind
20
Grade 2
to finish high school. But Albert was so unhappy that he quit school to live with
his family.
Albert spent the next year in high school. Then he started college, hoping to
become a scientist.
A Scientist:
And that is just what he did. By age 26, he had already made discoveries
that would change science forever. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics.
This prize is given to people who have made the most important discoveries in
the world. He went on to discover more new things and win many more
awards.
Albert Einstein is among the most respected scientists of all time. And he
started out as an odd kid who worried his parents and frustrated his teachers.
For Albert, being different really paid off!

A goldfish is a good pet. Goldfish are fun to watch. They are easy to care
for, too. But they need the right home. You may think a goldfish is happy living
in a little bowl of water. This is not true! A goldfish needs more room.
Keep your goldfish in a tank. It is better than a bowl. A tank holds more
water. Your fish will have more room for swimming.
First, choose a safe place for the tank. Put the tank where it (1) will not fall.
(2) Do not put the tank near a window. The sun may make the water too warm.
Next, fill the bottom of the tank with tiny rocks. Add bigger rocks and a few
plants. You can put in toy ships. These all make good hiding places for your fish.
Finally, fill the tank with water. Wait a few days before you put your fish in.
Check that the water (3) staies clean. Buy a pump to clean the water. Dirty
water makes fish sick.

Grade 2
Now you can add your fish! When you buy the fish, you will bring it home in a
plastic bag filled with water. Let the bag float in the tank for half an hour. The
fish will get used to being in the tank. Then, open the bag. Let the fish swim out!
Buy (4) gold fish food for your fish. Do not feed your fish too much! Extra
food makes the water dirty. It (5) sink to the bottom of the tank. Just give your
fish what it can eat.
Put a cover on the tank. This keeps the fish safe. Nothing can fall into the
tank and your fish (6) cannot jump out. If the cover has a light, you can watch
your fish at night.
Each week the tank needs to be cleaned. Take out some old water. Add
some new water. Scrape the walls of the tank if they (7) looks dirty. But do not
worry. Your tank (8) does not have to be spotless. Just keep the water clean.
Your fish (9) will be happy!
3. What should you do AFTER you choose a safe place for the tank?
a. fill the tank with water.
b. fill the bottom of the tank with tiny rocks.
c. you can add your fish!
