9. Reading Time 2

Read the following poem and do the activities.

The Bear

There once was a bear

Who lived in Belaire

He owned a red hen
Who made eggs for her kin.

Then one time like most bears do

The bear got hungry

And ate the red hen

And her last eggs of ten
With a gulp and a swallow

Down went the hen

But wait...

Now there was no hen to lay eggs for his kin.
