Reading Comprehensions:Life in Disguise.

It’s a tough world for a lot of animals. Surviving is not always easy. Some clever creatures have learned that being sneaky can be better than being big or strong. Here, we meet two of these creatures.

The Chameleon.Chameleons are famous for being able to change colour. But there is more to them than most people think…Everyone knows that chameleons change colour to match their surroundings, right? Wrong. Some chameleons can change colour, but they do it for other reasons. If a panther chameleon is angry, it turns reddish or yellowish. This warns other chameleons it’s looking for a fight! If a chameleon is feeling cold, it becomes darker, because dark colours absorb more heat. But when a chameleon is ill, it will stay pale because it doesn’t have the energy to change colour.

Chameleons do lots of other weird and wonderful things that help them survive in the wild: They can whip out their long tongues faster than our eyes can follow. Some can talk to each other using vibrations that travel through solid things like branches. They can look at two different things at once and see all around, thanks to their swivelling eyes.

Did you know?There are lots of different types of chameleon. Some are only 3cm long, while others grow up to about 70cm.

The Mimic Octopus.The mimic octopus has an amazing talent that comes in very handy in the deep sea. It can twist and fold its body to look like all sorts of other sea creatures. This is a sneaky octopus- it pretends to be sea creatures that taste horrible or are poisonous, to scare off predators.

The mimic octopus can pretend to be more than one other creature: a poisonous lion fish- the octopus spreads out its arms to mimic the fish’s poisonous fins. a deadly sea snake- the octopus buries its whole body in the sand, apart from two tentacles. Predators think these are a couple of dangerous snakes wiggling about.

Did you know?The mimic octopus is almost 50cm long. It has brown and white stripes or spots all over its body.

Life in disguiseQuestion mat:

1. Look at the first paragraph. Find and copy one word that shows how difficult life can be in the wild.

2. Look at the two ‘Did you know?’ sections in the text. What information do they give the reader?

3. Look at the end of the second paragraph, which says: But there is more to them than most people think… What mistake do many people make about chameleons?

4. What is the mimic octopus’ amazing talent?5. Why is the octopus’ amazing talent so useful in the deep sea?6. The text states ‘surviving is not always easy. Some clever creatures

have learned that being sneaky can be better than being big or strong.’ What does this mean?

7. In what way are the two creatures in the text similar? Write one. 1.poison other creatures. 2.protect themselves. 3.hunt other animals. 4.change colour and shape.

Rainbow Crow(Lenni Lenape Tribe)

It was so cold. Snow fell constantly, and ice formed over all the waters. The animals had never seen snow before. At first, it was a novelty, something to play in. But the cold increased tenfold, and they began to worry. The little animals were being buried in the snow drifts and the larger animals could hardly walk because the snow was so deep. Soon, all would perish if something were not done. "We must send a messenger to the Creator Who Creates by thinking what will be," said Wise Owl. "We must ask him to think the world warm again so that Spirit Snow will leave us in peace." The animals were pleased with this plan. They began to debate among themselves, trying to decide who to send up to the Creator. Wise Owl

could not see well during the daylight, so he could not go. Coyote was easily distracted and liked playing tricks, so he could not be trusted. Turtle was steady and stable, but he crawled too slowly. Finally, Rainbow Crow, the most beautiful of all the birds with shimmering feathers of rainbow hues and an enchanting singing voice, was chosen to go to the creator. It was an arduous journey, three days up and up into the heavens, passed the trees and clouds, beyond the sun and the moon, and even above all the stars. He was buffeted by winds and had no place to rest, but he carried bravely on until he reached Heaven. When Rainbow Crow reached the Holy Place, he called out to the Creator, but received no answer. The Creator was too busy thinking up what would be to notice even the most beautiful of birds. So Rainbow Crow began to sing his most beautiful song. The Creator was drawn from his thoughts by the lovely sound, and came to see which bird was making it. He greeted Rainbow Crow kindly and asked what gift he could give the noble bird in exchange for his song. Rainbow Crow asked the Creator to un-think the snow, so that the animals of Earth would not be buried and freeze to death. But the Creator told Rainbow Crow that the snow and the ice had spirits of their own and could not be destroyed. "What shall we do then?" asked the Rainbow Crow. "We will all freeze or smother under the snow." "You will not freeze," the Creator reassured him, "For I will think of Fire, something that will warm all creatures during the cold times." The Creator stuck a stick into the blazing hot sun. The end blazed with a bright, glowing fire which burned brightly and gave off heat. "This is Fire," he told Rainbow Crow, handing him the cool end of the stick. "You must hurry to Earth as fast as you can fly before the stick burns up." Rainbow Crow nodded his thanks to the Creator and flew as fast as he could go. It was a three-day trip to Heaven, and he was worried that the Fire would burn out before he reached the Earth. The stick was large and heavy, but the fire kept Rainbow Crow warm as he descended from Heaven down to the bright path of the stars. Then the Fire grew hot as it came closer to Rainbow Crows feathers. As he flew passed the Sun, his tail caught on fire, turning the shimmering beautiful feathers black. By the time he flew passed the Moon, his whole body was black with soot from the hot fire. When he plunged into the sky and flew through the clouds, the smoke got into his throat, strangling his beautiful singing voice. By the time Rainbow Crow landed among the freezing-cold animals of Earth, he was as black as tar and could only caw instead of sing. He delivered the fire to the animals, and they melted the snow and warmed themselves, rescuing the littlest animals from the snow drifts where they lay buried. It was a time of rejoicing, for fire had come to Earth and tarnished the snow. But Rainbow Crow sat apart, saddened by his dull, ugly feathers

and his rasping voice. Then he felt the touch of wind on his face. He looked up and saw the Creator walking toward him. "Do not be sad, Rainbow Crow," the Creator said. "All animals will honour you for the sacrifice you made for them. And when the people come, they will not hunt you, for I have made your flesh taste of smoke so that it is no good to eat and your black feathers and hoarse voice will prevent man from putting you into a cage to sing for him. You will be free always." Then the Creator pointed to Rainbow Crow's black feathers. Before his eyes, Rainbow Crow saw the dull feathers become shiny and inside each one, he could see all the colours of the rainbow. "This will remind everyone who sees you of the service you have been to your people," the Creator said, "and the sacrifice you made that saved them all." And so shall it ever be.

Rainbow Crow.

Question mat:

1. The text describes the snow as being a ‘novelty.’ What does this tell us?

2. Why could the ice and snow not be destroyed?3. What two adjectives would Rainbow Crow be feeling after his

arduous journey?4. Why do you get the impression Rainbow Crow would be feeling this

way? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.5. Look at paragraph 3, find and copy a phrase that suggests the

Rainbow Crow’s voice was beautiful.

An extract from ‘A Boy Called BAT.’ By Elana K. Arnold.

Chapter 2: Bat’s Cave.After finishing his snack, Bat went to his room. Bat’s room was his favourite place in the whole world. In his room, Bat felt completely comfortable. Here, he knew where everything was. If something was in the wrong place, it was his his own fault, because no one messed with his room but him. In the rest of their small house, Bat’s mum and sister knew to put anything that needed to go to Bat’s room in one of three baskets: his clean laundry basket, his book basket and his miscellaneous stuff basket. “Miscellaneous” was a great word and one of Bat’s favourites. It meant all the extra stuff, so the miscellaneous stuff basket could have almost anything (except clean laundry and books) in it. When the baskets were full, Mom placed them in the hallway outside Bat’s door. He took them into his room and unloaded them himself. Once, Mum had tried to reorganize his dresser drawers because she thought he could “use some help.” After, when he was so upset he couldn’t even speak, she said, “I’m sorry Bat, but your drawers were just a mess…your hats mixed in with pants and sweaters. I don’t know how you find anything.”But the drawers weren’t a mess. Not at all. If Mum had looked more closely, she would have seen that his knit caps were in with his long pants and his sweaters because he always wore those things together on cold days.Shorts and T-shirts were in another drawer because he wore those things together on warm days. “But what about this drawer?” Mum had asked, pulling open the bottom right drawer, which held a pair of pants, a wool sweater and two t-shirts.“Those are the things I never wear,” Bat told her when he finally calmed down. “Because they’re itchy and uncomfortable.” Then mum cut the tags out of the T-shirts and Bat moved them to his warm-days drawer. After that, Mom “left him to his own devices,” as she liked to say.

Once in his room, Bat closed the door. There was a sign on the outside that said “Please Knock.” Janie had written it for him because her writing was much neater than his. Janie could do all the hand things better than Bat: write things, cut things out, smooth peanut butter on bread. The clock told Bat that Mum would be home in forty-six minutes. Mum was a veterinarian, which was what Bat intended to be too, one day. Mostly she treated cats and dogs, but sometimes she had “unusual patients.” Once she had taken a BB pellet out of the wing of a hawk. The pellet had broken one of the bones and Mum had done surgery to mend it. She’d brought home X-rays to show Bat.“Why would anyone shoot a hawk?” Bat had asked. “Do you think they were going to eat it?”“No,” said Mum. “Sometimes people do stupid things.” She had been very angry about the hawk, angrier even than when Bat and Janie got into loud screaming fights. Seeing the X-ray of the hawk’s broken wing made Bat angry, too.

A Boy Called Bat.

What did Bat move to his ‘warm day’ drawers? 6. Do you think Bat and his sister are close? How do you know?

Down the Rabbit Hole.Chapter One:

Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. “Dinah’ll miss me very much tonight, I should think!” (Dinah was the cat.) “I hope they’ll

remember her saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah, my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, I’m afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that’s very like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats, I wonder?” And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, “Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?” and sometimes, “Do bats eat cats?”, for, you see, as she couldn’t answer either question, it didn’t much matter which way she put it. She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, “Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?”, when suddenly, thump! Thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment: she looked up, but it was all dark overhead: before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, “Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it’s getting!” She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.

There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked: and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever going to get out again.

Suddenly, she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice’s first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted!

Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head through the doorway; “and even if my head would go through,” thought poor Alice, “it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin.” For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
