Then answer each question.  \nGolly-Grue , Grimbletoes and the Scratching on the Wall  \nGolly-Grue and Grimbletoes were dwarves who lived deep in the forest. Grimbletoes had bright eyes and a long, white beard. GollyGrue had bright eyes and long, white braids.  \nLate one night, as the moon shone overhead and the stars twinkled like tiny diamonds, Grimbletoes was awaken by a scritch-scratch in the bedroom. He tossed back his covers and lit a candle. Soft,  \nyellow light filled the room.  \nScritch-scratch.  \nGrimbletoes peered into the darkness. He was sure the sound was coming from his boots.  \n“What is it?” Golly-Grue asked, sleepily. “What’s wrong?”  \n“There’s something scritch-scratching in my boots,” Grimbletoes whispered.  \n“Are you scared? Do you want me to go take a look?” Golly-Grue asked with a chuckle.  \nGrimbletoes scowled at her and tiptoed across the room to where his boots sat against the wall. He picked up the left boot and peered into it.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nThere was nothing there.  \nHe picked up the right boot and peered into it.  \nThere was nothing there.  \nHe gave the right boot a shake.  \nThere was nothing there.  \nHe gave the left boot a shake.  \nThere was nothing there.  \nGrimble toes leaned down close to the floor and peered under the dresser.  \nThere was nothing there.  \nGrimble toes peered under the bed.  \nThere was nothing there.  \nWith a sigh , Grimble toes climbed back into bed and blew out the candle.  \nGrimble toes had just fallen asleep when something scritch-scratched on the other side of the room. He sat up and tugged on his beard. He knew the sound wasn’t coming from his boots this time. What could be making the noise?  \n“Maybe it’s a wooly-booger,” he whispered. The hair on the back of his neck stood up at the thought. Wooly-boogers were known for their long teeth.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \n“Maybe it’s a gobbeldy-gum,” Golly-Grue whispered with a grin.  \n“A what?” Grimbletoes asked.  \n“A gobbeldy-gum.”Golly-Grue dropped her voice so low Grimbletoes could barely hear her, but she smiled as she spoke.“They have breath so bad it can stink up a cottage for a month.”  \nGrimbletoes shuddered at the thought. He could just picture a goopy creature blowing its foul breath allover his home.  \n“Maybe it’s Slither Snake,” Grim bletoes said after a moment. “He’s known for creeping into houses in the middle of the night.”  \nThe wind howled around the small cottage, and the  \ntrees outside creaked and groaned. Grimbletoes moved just a little closer to Golly-Grue.  \n“Maybe we should relight the candle,” Golly-Grue whispered, pretending to be scared. “I don’t like the sound of a wooly-booger, a gobbeldy-gum, or that Slither Snake.” She whispered even softer.“I heard he got into Merrypail’s house the other day and ate everything in her pantry. Can you believe it?” Golly-Grue clamped her lips shut to keep from laughing.  \nGrimbletoes gripped Golly-Grue’s hand tightly. He couldn’t see her smile . “It will be all right, Golly-Grue . I’ll find out what it is.” He lit the candle on the bedside table.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nThe gentle flame flickered and danced. Shadows loomed on the walls. Grim ble toes and Golly-Grue sat very still.  \nScritch-scratch.  \nScritch-scratch.  \nScritch-scratch.  \nA huge shadow rose against the wall. It danced with the candle’s flame.  \nGolly-Grue took the candle and stood behind Grimble toes.  \nGrimble toe s had a hard lump in his throat. He strained his eyes atthe shadow, but he couldn’t tell what it was.  \nWas it a wooly-booger?  \nWas it a gob bel dy-gum?  \nWas it Slither Snake?  \nGrim ble toes bit his lip to keep it from trembling.  \n“I’ll go see what it is,” Grim bletoes whispered. “You hold up the candle so I can see.”  \nGolly-Grue nodded but didn’t say anything. She took the candle and held it up high. The candle flame danced as she chuckled softly.
