  1. Question 1

    What did Zoe and Grandpa do after lunch?

    The Indoor Picnic

    Zoe and her grandpa had planned a picnic at the park for Saturday. But when Zoe woke up, rain was drumming on her window.

    “Our picnic is ruined,” Zoe sighed, pressing her nose against the cold glass.

    Grandpa smiled. “Who says a picnic has to be outside?” He spread a blanket on the living room floor. Zoe packed sandwiches, grapes and lemonade into the basket, just as they had planned.

    They ate on the blanket and listened to the rain. After lunch, they built a blanket fort and read stories inside it. “This was even better than the park,” Zoe said with a grin.
