Fall Again Resilience Worksheet

Read the story carefully. Then answer the questions using details from the story and your own ideas.

The Wobbly Ride

At the dairy farm, Malik was excited to learn how to ride a small bicycle along the wide, flat path beside the barn. His cousin Amara walked nearby while he practiced. Malik pushed off, wobbled, and tipped onto the soft grass. His knee stung, and his cheeks felt hot. “I’m never going to get it,” he said. Amara checked that he was okay. “That was a tough try,” she said. “Would you like to rest, or try with me holding the seat?” Malik took a slow breath and chose to rest for a minute. Then he asked Amara to hold the seat. He climbed on again. This time, he rode a few feet before the bicycle leaned to one side. Amara held it steady, and Malik put his feet down safely. “I didn’t ride far, but I stayed balanced longer,” Malik said. He noticed that looking ahead helped. After another short rest, he tried once more. He wobbled, but kept his hands on the handlebars and rode all the way to the fence. Malik grinned. “I still have more to learn,” he said, “but now I know what to try next.” Amara smiled. Malik had not done everything perfectly. He had rested, asked for help, noticed what worked, and tried again.
