Question 2. Look at the pictures and tell the story in your own words.
Answer:
Here is a lovely story about the four pictures:

Once on a rainy day, a young girl went out with her pretty purple umbrella. She had fun walking through the rain and splashing in water puddles.

All of a sudden, a very strong wind started blowing. It blew the umbrella right out of her small hands and high up into the air!

A clever crow saw the flying umbrella. The crow thought it would be a wonderful roof for a nest. It caught the umbrella with its beak and flew up to a tree branch.

The crow hung the umbrella upside down on the tree. This became a perfect, dry home for the little baby birds to stay safe from the rain.
In simple words: A little girl loses her umbrella in the strong wind, and a smart crow takes it to make a cozy, dry home for its baby chicks.

Exam Tip: Look at each picture from 1 to 4 to trace what happens to the girl, the wind, the crow, and the umbrella step-by-step.
