Animal Reading Comprehension Worksheet
Read the story, then answer each question. You can look back at the story to find clues.
Mara was a red fox who lived with her two cubs in a burrow beside a grassy meadow. Her coat was russet, and the tip of her bushy tail was pale. Each evening, when the sky began to darken, Mara listened for sounds from the fields.
One night, she heard a soft rustle near a patch of long grass. Mara moved quietly towards it. A field mouse darted out, but Mara did not chase it. She had already found fallen plums beneath a nearby tree. She carried one back to the burrow for her cubs.
After their meal, the cubs peeped out at the bright moon. Mara showed them how to stay close to the burrow and pause to listen for danger. Then the family settled down together while the meadow grew still.
