Then answer each question.  \nThe Fairy Tree  \nLong , long ago, on an island in the se a , lived a family of seven sisters. The oldest girl ruled the household , and her sisters obeyed her commands.  \nFlora, the youngest sister , was sent to the forest each day to gather wood for the kitchen fire.  \nNear the edge of the forest was a cave under some rocks. A stream of water fell over the rocks into a basin in the cave.  \nThis was a delightfully cool spot, and Flora often rested here on her way home after gathering wood in the forest. She would lie on the mossy bank of the stream for hours and dream .  \nOne morning as Flora ran along the grassy path that led to the cave , she saw a little fish in the stream . Its scales flashed all the colors of the rainbow.  \n“ I am going to keep the fish for a pet,” said the girl to herself. “I will call him Rainbow.”  \nSo she caught the pretty fish and put him into the basin in the cave.  \nThe next day Flora went to the forest for wood. She carried some  \ncrumbs of bread which she had saved from her breakfast.  \nOn the way home she stopped at the cave. The fish was waiting for her. He came to the edge of the basin ,  \nand she fed the crumbs to him .  \nHow delighted the girl was! She had been so lonely , and now she had a friend!  \nReading and Math for K-5 © [www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com)  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nEvery morning, instead of eating the bread which her sister gave to her, Flora would save it and feed the crumbs to her pet. The fish would leap to catch them .  \n“Here are some crumbs, Rainbow,” she would say. “This is all today, but I will come again tomorrow.”  \nThen she would sing a little song.  \nFlora began to grow thin , and her sisters wondered what could be the matter.  \nOne day the oldest sister followed her to the cave and saw her feed the crumbs of bread to the fish.  \nWhile Flora was away in the forest, the oldest sister caught the fish, carried him home and baked him for supper. The bones were buried under the kitchen fire.  \nThe next morning, Flora went to the cave as usual , but no fish was there. She sang her little song, and he still did not come.  \n“Rainbow cannot be dead ,” she said , “ for I do not see him in the water.”  \nThen Flora hastened home. She threw herself upon her bed and was soon  \nfast asleep.  \nThe following morning, a rooster flew up to Flora’s window and crowed,  \n“Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doo!  \nThe bones of Rainbow wait for you,  \nUnder the kitchen fire , too.”  \nFlora arose at once and went downstairs. There,  \nunder the kitchen fire , she found the bones of her pet.  \nGrade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet  \nShe wept as she gathered the bones and placed them in a box.  \nShe went to the forest and buried the box near the cave.  \nThen Flora sat down on a mossy bank near the cave and sang this song:  \n“ Rainbow , Rainbow , he ar my cry ,  \nMy great wish do not deny.  \nIf you can’t come back to me,  \nPray , O pray, become a tree!”  \nAs the last words of the song echoed through the cave, there sprang up a wonderful Fairy Tree beside the girl .  \nIts trunk was of ivory. Its leaves were of silver fringed with pearls. Its  \nflowers were gold , and its fruit gems from which sparkled the bright colors of the rainbow.  \nOne day the summer breeze carried a leaf from the Fairy Tree across thesea to another island. It fell at the feet of the king.  \nHe picked up the wonderful leaf and said, “ I s hall never rest until I find the tree from which this leaf came.”  \nThe king set sail with his attendants. He soon landed on the island where the seven sisters lived .  \nAs the king and his men were marching through the forest , they found the Fairy Tree growing at the entrance to the cave.  \nThe king tried to pick some of the leaves, but he could not. Then he heard the sweet voice of a girl . She was singing,  \n“ Rainbow , Rainbow , speak to me!  \nBend your branches, Fairy Tree","cbCaia1063DhV0vn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia1063DhV0vn","pdf",281364,"English","# Questions\n## 1.
