Problem Solution Language
Read the story carefully. Then answer the questions about the problem, the solution and the words that help you understand them.
Amelia and Anya carried a picnic to the park. They put the basket beside a bench while they watched a duck on the pond. When they turned back, the basket had gone!
“Someone might have taken it,” said Anya, looking worried.
Amelia noticed a trail of crumbs leading towards a bush. “Let’s follow the crumbs together,” she said. They looked behind the bush and found the basket. Their dog, Pip, had nudged it there with his nose.
Anya laughed with relief. Amelia checked that the sandwiches were still inside. Then they sat on the grass and shared their picnic with Pip.
