My Favorite Characters
Read the original story below. Then use clues from the story to explore what makes its characters memorable.
Ethan was tightening a loose handlebar at Bellwether Bike Repair when a silver bell rolled under the workbench. Isabella picked it up. “This belongs on the blue bike,” she said. “Its owner is coming back soon.”
Just then, Aaliyah rushed in, pushing the blue bike. Its front tire was flat, and she needed it for the neighborhood parade that afternoon. Ethan wanted to fix the tire quickly, but Isabella noticed that the wheel had a bent spoke. “If we ignore that, the wheel could wobble,” she warned.
Aaliyah looked worried. “I can miss the parade,” she said, “but I promised to carry the banner.”
Ethan paused, then asked Aaliyah to help him hold the wheel steady. Isabella showed them how to adjust the spoke safely. They worked together, checked the tire, and spun the wheel. It rolled straight. Aaliyah rang the silver bell, grinning. “Now we can lead the parade!” she said.
As the three watched her ride away, Ethan said, “Good thing we listened to each other.” Isabella nodded. “A careful fix is a better fix.”
