Introduction to Narrative Texts
Read the short narrative. Then investigate its characters, setting and events. Use clues from the story to answer.
On a warm evening, Willa the wombat was getting ready for bed in her burrow beneath a gum tree. A bright star seemed to wink at her through the doorway. “I wonder where it goes,” she said. Willa packed a torch and a crunchy apple, then followed the star’s glow across the bush.
Soon, Willa heard a soft squeak. Pip the possum was stuck on a low branch, too nervous to climb down. Willa held up her torch so Pip could see the wide, safe branch below. Pip climbed down carefully. They shared the apple and watched the stars together. When the moon rose high, Willa walked home, happy to have made a new friend.
