George's Medicine Sequencing Ticket

Read the retelling below, then answer each question. Use clues from the passage to explain how events connect.

A very unusual mixture

This is a short retelling of events from George's Marvellous Medicine. George lives with his parents and his grandmother. Grandma can be very bossy, and George is unhappy about the way she treats him. One morning, while his parents are away, Grandma demands her medicine. George decides to make a special mixture for her. He gathers ingredients from around the house and stirs them together in a large pot. When Grandma drinks it, something astonishing happens: she begins to grow much taller. George's parents return and are amazed by what they see. George's father wonders whether a similar mixture could help make the animals on the farm grow bigger, too.
