 \n'Take me with you,'begged Rita one day.  \n'You're too young,'said Eddie.'You can'tpush or pull.'  \n'You're too young,'said Jim.'You can’t run orkick.'  \n'You're too young,'said Julie.'You can't skipor jump.'  \nAll three went off to play with their friends.Rita was left at home with only the cat forcompany.  \nThe cat miaowed for milk.  \nSadly Rita went to bring it in from thedoorstep.  \n'What's this?'Rita cried.'A parcel-for me?'  \n'RESCUER's OUTFIT',said the label inside.Firstshe unpacked some boots,then gloves and tights,a tunic,a belt and a cloak.  \n‘Oh!'cried Rita,'that's just what I need,'andshe put them all on as fast as she could.  \nIn the street some children were jumping arope.'Let me try!'said Rita.  \n'You're too young,'they said.And they heldthe rope even higher.But Rita wasn’t put off.She drew a deep breath,gave a hop,step,anda jump-and-up she soared!  \n'Wheee!Look at me!Look at me!'sheshouted.  \nRita's leap carried her high above the roof-tops.She could see for miles.Down in the nextstreet she spotted Basher Briggs,who wassnatching toffees from her brother Jim.  \n'Stop that!Drop those sweets!'Rita's roar wasso loud that the windows round about rattled.  \nBasher turned pale.'I’m off!'he said,and hethrew down the toffees and took to his heels.  \n'Now for my next rescue,'said Rita.  \nShe could hear someone close by crying,'Help!Help!'  \nA pram had rolled into the river.Worse still,there was a baby inside!The current carried itswiftly away,and no one could reach it.  \nQuick as a flash,Rita dived into the water.Shegrasped the pram firmly,and swam with it tothe river bank.  \nThe ducks quacked and the people cheered.  \nThe mother hugged her baby and shook Rita'shand.  \n'You deserve a medal!'she said.  \nRita was about to reply when she heard ascream coming from the field beyond the river.  \nRita's big sister,Julie,was being chased by abull!  \nIn a split second,Rita was there.  \nShe flung herself in front of the bull,who  \nstopped dead in his tracks.'Bull,you're a bully!'said Rita.She stared straight into his little eyes,giving Julie time to escape over a gate.  \n4  \nThe bull looked ashamed,and shuffled hishooves.But Rita was already on her way.  \nIt was Lavinia Smith's wedding day.There shewas with her flowers and her bridesmaids-butthe car wouldn't start.Mrs Smith looked furious.Mr Smith was in a panic.  \n'We'll never get to the church on time,'he said.  \n5  \nRita came bounding over a hedge.  \n'The answer is simple,Mr Smith,'she said,looking under the bonnet.'Your petrol filter'sblocked.I'll fix it.There you are-that's easilydone!'  \n'Thank goodnessfor the Rescuer!\"cried the bride asthe car sped away.  \nNearby in JubileeGardens,a large crowdhad gathered.Theywere watching theRumbold's cat,Rufus,who was trapped ina tall chestnut tree.  \n‘Hang on Rufus!'  \ncried Rita,Here I come!'She hurtled throughthe air like a whirlwind.The people gaspedin surprise.  \nShe snatched Rufusto safety just as his clawsslipped from the branch.  \n'Thank you,thank you,'cried the Rumbolds.  \n'A pleasure,'said Rita,'but what's that awfulsound I hear?Another job for the Rescuer,I think.'  \nA toddler was having a tantrum.He screamedand he cried and he stamped his feet.The windhad dropped and his sailing boat stood quite stillin the middle of Jubilee Pond.  \n'I think we'll have to leave it there,'said hisGranny,and the toddler screamed louder thanever.  \n'Keep calm!'cried Rita,racing up.She drew inher breath and then 'Huff!Pu","cbCaiiAAbMTfeoa3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiAAbMTfeoa3","pdf",2450985,24,"English","# Rita the Rescuer\n## The parcel outfit and rooftop leap\n## River rescue with the pram\n## Bull rescue for Julie\n## Wedding car fix and tree cat rescue\n## Pond sailboat blowing\n## Soap-box cart and horse hoist","[{\"question\":\"Why do Eddie, Jim, and Julie leave Rita out of their games?\",\"answer\":\"They say Rita is too young and not able to push, run, or jump with them, so they leave her at home.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Rita use to become a successful rescuer?\",\"answer\":\"She discovers a labeled parcel called “RESCUER's OUTFIT” and quickly puts on the boots, gloves, tights, tunic, belt, and cloak.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of problems does Rita solve in the story?\",\"answer\":\"Rita rescues a pram-baby from the river, saves Rufus the cat from a tree, helps fix a wedding car by unclogging the petrol filter, calms a toddler’s sailboat issue, stops a runaway soap-box cart, and pulls a fallen mare Rosie out of a road hole.\"}]","Rita the Rescuer - Story | PDF",1790620480,37]
