Then answer each question.  \nSkedaddle’s Big Boast  \nSkedaddle the monkey lived deep in the jungle. Tall trees with giant leaves shaded the ground, and long vines grew from the trees. Skedaddle loved to swing from the vines. He also loved to travel from one end of the jungle to the other. He would come back to his home and tell the other monkeys what he had seen and done.  \nOne evening, Skedaddle dangled from a branch over the heads of  \nthe other monkeys. He told an exciting tale about what he’d done while crossing the jungle.  \n“I taught the snakes on the other side of the jungle to eat wild yams!” he boasted. “They love them.”  \nThe other monkeys gasped in surprise. The snakes were one of the biggest dangers of the jungle.  \n“There are trees of gold that never run out of fruit,”Skedaddle said. “I planted more of them so the animals there would always have food.”  \nThe other monkeys gasped in surprise. Sometimes, it was hard for them to find food. Trees that never ran out of fruit would solve the problem.  \n“I helped a family of elephants build a bridge across a river.”Skedaddle swung around the branch then did a little dance. “Now  \nthey don’t have to get their feet wet.”  \nThe other monkeys gasped. That was an amazing feat.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \n“Hogwash!”  \nSkedaddle looked down to see Monkeyshines, an older monkey who had a lot of followers. He stood with his arms crossed and a frown on his face.  \n“I can prove it!” Skedaddle said. “The elephants will tell you.” He pointed to where the elephants made their way through the forest.  \nMonkeyshines laughed, and the other monkeys joined him. “There is no need for that,” he said. “Just go to the other side of the jungle and bring back a golden fruit. That will prove what you say is true.”  \nSkedaddle picked at his fur as he thought. “All right,” he said after  \nseveral minutes. “I will go to the other side of the jungle and bring back the fruit.”  \n“And I will go with you,” Monkeyshines said. He laughed again.  \nSkedaddle did not know what to say. If Monkeyshines went too, he would know Skedaddle was fibbing.  \n\"Well?\" Monkeyshines asked. “Are you ready to go?”  \nSkedaddle shook his head. “No. I’m too tired to go right now. Perhaps tomorrow.”  \nMonkeyshines and the other monkeys laughed again. “That’s what I thought. I suppose there will be an excuse tomorrow as well.”  \nSkedaddle hung his head. Monkeyshines had called out his boast, and now all the monkeys were laughing at him.  \nGrade 4 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nQuestions:  \n1. What does the word boast mean?  \na.
