Poem Comprehension Questions
The Best Day
The afternoon had folded itself beneath a blanket of grey. The lawn lay still; the birds were quiet; no one had much to say. Then Dad stepped backwards, missed the path, and—splash!—went straight in. The pond leapt up in silver drops and soaked his Sunday grin. Mum gasped once, then laughed so hard she had to sit upon the grass. My brother clapped; the dog ran round as bubbles bobbed like glass. Dad climbed out, dripping pondweed, with water in each shoe. He bowed as if he’d planned the trick. We laughed until we were through. The grey day turned to golden noise; the sun seemed warm and bright. We talked about that muddy splash at dinner, and all night.
