Then answer each question.  \nSennin the Hermit  \nIn the far-away land of Japan , there was a little village that lay at the foot of a high mountain.  \nEvery day the children went to play on the grassy bank near a pond atone end of the village. They threw stones into the water. They fished , and they sailed their toy boats. They picked the wild flowers that grew in the fields nearby. They carried with them rice to eat , and , from morning until evening , they played near the pond.  \nOne day , while they were playing , the children were surprised to se e an old man with a long , white beard walking toward them . He came from the direction of the mountain.  \nThe children stopped their games to watch the old man. He came into their mid st and , patting them upon their heads easily , made them his friends .  \nThe children continued their play because they knew that the old man was kind.  \nThe m an watched the children , and when it was time for them to go home, he said, “ Come to the flat rock on the side of the mountain tomorrow and I will show you some wonderful games.”  \nThen he climbed up the mountain once more and disappeared.  \nReading and Math for K-5 © [www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com)  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nThe following morning , the children went to th e flat rock. They found the old man waiting for them .  \n“Now, my dear children,” he said , “ I am going to amuse you. Look here!”  \nHe picked up some dry sticks. He blew at the ends of the sticks , and at once they became sprays of beautiful cherry , plum , and peach blossoms. He passed a branch of each of the flowers to the girls.  \nThen he took a stone and threw it into the air. The stone turned into a dove!  \nAnother stone became an eagle , another a nightingale , or any bird a boy chose to name.  \n“Now,” said the old man, “ I will show you some animals that I am sure will make you laugh.”  \nThe children clapped their hands.  \nHe re cited some verses , and a company of monkeys came leaping upon the rock. The monkeys jumped about , grinning at the same time and performing funny tricks.  \nThe children clapped their hands again.  \nThen the old man bowed to them and said, “ Children , I can play no more games today. It is time for you to go back to the village. Farewell .”  \nThe old man turned to go. He went up the mountain in the direction of a cave. The children tried to follow him , but in spite of his age , he was more nimble than they. They ran far enough , however , to se e him e nter the cave.  \nWhen they reached the entrance , the old man had disappeared.  \nThe cave was surrounded by fragrant flowers , but the children did not dare to go into its depths.  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nSuddenly one of the girls pointed upwards and cried , “There is the old grandfather!”  \nThe others looked up, and there , standing on a cloud over the top of the mountain , was the old man.  \n“Let us go home now,” said one of the boys.  \nOn the way , they met two men of the village whom their parents had sent to search for them . When the children had told their story , one of the men exclaimed, “Ah , happy children! The kind old man is surely Sennin, the wonderful Hermit of the Mountain!”  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nQuestions:  \n1.
