Then answer each question.  \nThe Swift Runner  \nLong, long ago, members of the animal kingdom enjoyed sports and games. They often held contests with grand prizes for the winners.  \nOne spring day, Brown Bear announced a new contest. The prize would be a beautiful set of shiny brown antlers.  \nFor the contest, each animal would wear the antlers while running the race. The animal who was able to keep the antlers on for the entire race would get to keep the antlers forever.  \nBrown Bear was to be the judge for the race. He chose a rough path through the woods for the racecourse. There were many thorny bushes and obstacles along the way.  \nHarry Hare and Dandy Deer both wanted to win the antlers.  \n“They are the fastest runners,” said Ricky Raccoon.  \n“The rest of us could never hope to win,” said Sammy Squirrel and Oliver Otter.  \nThe rabbit and the deer were the only contestants in the race. “You may go first,”Brown Bear said to Harry.  \n“I am willing to try for the prize,” the hare said. “ But I would like to look at the racecourse first.”  \nBrown Bear agreed, and Harry Hare bounded away into the woods. He was gone so long that Freddy Fox was sent to look  \nfor him.  \nHiding behind a tree, Freddy saw the hare hard at work tying low vines across the racecourse. Harry would be able to hop over the vines easily , but Dandy Deer would trip over them, losing the antlers as he fell!  \nFreddy Fox went back and told the other animals what Harry Hare was doing. “He is a cheater,” Brown Bear said.“Cheaters can never be winners.”  \nHarry soon returned. “I am ready to run the racecourse,” he said, patting his head. “The antlers, please.”  \nBrown Bear shook his head. “You cannot enter the race. We know you were trying to rig the race to make Dandy trip and fall.”  \n“Who, me?” Harry said.  \n“Yes, you!” Freddy Fox said. “I saw you tying the vines across the course. You are a cheater, and you do not deserve these fine antlers.”  \nAfter the vines were removed, Brown Bear strapped the  \nantlers onto Dandy Deer’s head.  \nThe deer ran swiftly along the woodland path. He held his head high, easily keeping the antlers from getting caught in the thorns. The other animals , even Harry Hare, cheered loudly as Judge Brown Bear proclaimed him the winner of the antlers.  \n“You shall wear these antlers on your head  \nforever and you shall always be called The Swift  \nRunner!”  \nQuestions:  \n1. What could slow the runners down on the path?  \n_____________________________________________________________  \n_____________________________________________________________  \n2. Why was Harry Hare not allowed to race?  \n_____________________________________________________________  \n_____________________________________________________________  \n3. Why do you think the other animals did not want to race?  \n_____________________________________________________________  \n_____________________________________________________________  \n4. What would have happened if the fox had not caught Harry cheating?  \n_____________________________________________________________  \n_____________________________________________________________  \nAnswers:  \n1. What could slow the runners down on the path?  \nThorny bushes and other obstacles could slow the runners down.  \n2. Why was Harry Hare not allowed to race?  \nHarry cheated and tried to rig the course so Dandy Deer would trip and fall.  \n3. Why do you think the other animals did not want to race?  \nThe other animals did not want to race because they knew they were slower than the hare and the deer.  \n4. What would have happened if the fox had not caught Harry cheating?  \nAnswers may vary. Maybe rabbits would have antlers?","cbCaiecxOwt2101i","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiecxOwt2101i","pdf",164556,"English","# The Swift Runner\n## Questions\n## Answers","[{\"question\":\"What could slow the runners down on the path?\",\"answer\":\"Thorny bushes and other obstacles could slow the runners down.\"},{\"question\":\"Why was Harry Hare not allowed to race?\",\"answer\":\"Harry cheated and tried to rig the course so Dandy Deer would trip and fall.\"},{\"question\":\"What would have happened if Freddy Fox had not caught Harry cheating?\",\"answer\":\"Answers may vary, but the outcome could have changed—possibly rabbits would have ended up with the antlers.\"}]","The Swift Runner - Short Reading Comprehension Questions | PDF",1791773501]
