Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
Granny Garcia was moving to a smaller house. Her family came to help. Granny
had too many things, so they put some of them in her front garden. Granny made a
big sign. It said: „Please, Help yourself to Granny Garcia‟s gifts.‟ Molly from next
door passed Granny Garcia‟s front garden. She saw a lampshade. “I can use this,”
she said to herself. Molly took the lampshade. She cleaned off the dust. She
painted it blue. Mr. Ryan from along the street walked his dog past Granny
Garcia‟s house. He saw some old bits of wood. “I could make something with
these,” he said to himself. Mr. Ryan took the pieces of wood. He made photo
frames. The children went past Granny Garcia‟s garden. “Look, there are wheels,
ropes, and a wooden box,” said Sam. “Let‟s make a cart!” The three of them
carried the box home. It took them two days to make a cart. Granny Garcia was
ready to move. All her friends threw a surprise party for her. “Good luck!” they
shouted. Then they gave her gifts for her new home. “Thank you,” said Granny
Garcia. “These will remind me of you.” “Thank you, Granny Garcia,” said
everyone. “All our things will remind us of you!”
