Fairy Tale Vocabulary Building

Read the mini fairy tale, then solve the vocabulary challenges. Use clues in each sentence to work out what the words mean.

The Moonlit Bridge

One evening, Jai reached a bridge guarded by a silver fox. “You may cross,” said the fox, “but first you must choose a path: the safe stone road or the glittering rope bridge.” Jai studied both paths. The rope bridge looked exciting, but it swayed in the wind. The stone road seemed sturdy and led towards the village lights. Jai tried to persuade the fox to let him take the stone road. “It is important that I reach the village before dark,” he explained. “The reason I am hurrying is that a storm is coming.” The fox listened carefully. Jai’s calm words convinced the fox, who nodded and opened the gate. Jai chose the stone road and reached the village safely.
