Christmas Story Comprehension
The Star in the Snow
Read the story, then answer the questions.
Mara hurried along the lane, lifting her boots high through the fresh snow. In her pocket was a tiny wooden star she had made from a fallen branch. The village square was silent. Its usual strings of lanterns were dark, and the fountain stood frozen beneath a white blanket of snow.
Mara stopped beside the old clock tower. A faint golden glimmer shone from the star in her hand. She wondered whether it was only catching the light of the moon. Then she remembered the words her grandmother had often said: “A little kindness can brighten the longest night.”
