Folktales
Reading Folktales
• Folktales are stories that people have told for many years. People tell folktales over and over again. Other people hear the stories and pass them on. Sometimes a folktale changes a little when a new person tells it.
• In some folktales, animals talk. The animals have feelings, as people do. They act the same way that people act. In a folktale, a stone or a tree might talk and have feelings.
• Many folktales begin with “Once upon a time.” These words help people know that the story is not real. Many folktales end with “happily ever after.” These words tell people that the story is over and all is well.
• After reading, talk about the story. Use the “Talk About It” tips on page 76.

Folktales
Once upon a time, there was a Fox who was always hungry. One night, he passed a henhouse. “Yum,” he said. “Tonight I will have hen for my dinner.”
He waited for the moon to rise. Then he snuck into the henhouse. He snatched the juiciest looking hen. “Help!” cried the hen.

Fox ran from the henhouse as fast as he could. When he got to a pond, he stopped. “You must be tired,” said Hen to Fox. “Put me down. I will not run away.”
So Fox put Hen down. Hen looked at the pond. The full moon was shining on the water. She pointed at the moon in the pond. “Look!” she said. “That tortilla in the pond would be so good with your dinner. Can you swim?”

Reading Nonfiction
• Nonfiction tells about real people and things. It may tell about what real people do. Nonfiction may tell about a real place. It may explain something that is real.
• Nonfiction gives information about a topic. The topic is what the text tells about. Both words and pictures can give information.
• Nonfiction stories are true. They are not like fantasy. In a fantasy story, people and things are made up.
• Authors write nonfiction for a reason. The author may want to show you how to do something. The author may want to help you learn about the past or about an important person. This is called the author’s purpose.
• After reading, talk about the story. Use the “Talk About It” tips on page 76.

The First Railroad in Texas
In the past, it was hard to move from place to place. There were no cars. People rode on horses. Some people rode in wagons pulled by horses. Roads were just paths where the trees were cut down. Rain turned the roads to mud. In some places, people could take boats on rivers. Not all rivers were deep enough. Some rivers dried up for part of each year.

A shiny red apple is round as a penny.My bag already holds so many!A cherry always tastes juicy and sweet.Grapes are the ones I like most to eat.

Reading Fairy Tales
• Fairy tales are stories that people have told again and again. Most fairy tales are very old. No one knows who told them first.
• Fairy tales tell about kings and queens. The stories often have fairies or magic animals.
• Many fairy tales begin with “Once upon a time.” This tells that the story takes place long ago in a setting that is not real.
• Many fairy tales end with “They lived happily ever after.” This tells that the character’s problems are solved and the story is over.
• After reading, talk about the story. Use the “Talk About It” tips on page 76.

Fairy Tales
Once upon a time, there was an old king who had three sons. The two oldest sons were clever and liked to brag. The youngest was small and quiet as a mouse so everyone thought he was simple.
One day, the king said. “I am old and must decide which of you will be the new king. The son who brings me the most beautiful rug will be king.”
The king blew three feathers into the air. One feather flew east. One feather flew west. One feather fell to the ground. The king told his sons to follow the feathers.

The oldest son went east. The second son went west. “I will find the best rug,” they each said.
The youngest son looked at the feather on the ground. He sat down. “I am far too little and quiet to be king anyway,” he thought.
Just then he saw a trapdoor open. He went in. A frog dressed in a fine coat and hat spoke:
Come sit by me little one, And tell me, tell me Why you have come.
The youngest son told the frog of the contest. And right before his eyes appeared the most beautiful carpet he had ever seen.“Thank you, kind frog!” said the boy.

The youngest son brought the rug to the king. It was far better than the carpets his older brothers found. “You shall be king,” his father told him.
But the older brothers begged for another chance. The King agreed. “The son who finds the kindest maiden will be king,” he said.
He blew three feathers into the air. The brothers followed the first two feathers east and west. The third feather fell to the ground and so the youngest son went to see the frog once again.
He told the frog of the new contest. The frog pointed at a flower. The flower turned into a girl. She was as small as the boy and was dressed in rags. She smiled kindly at the boy.

Fairy Tales
The brothers came back with the first well-dressed maidens they could find. When these maidens saw the youngest son’s maiden, they pointed at her rags and spoke unkindly.
“You maidens are not kind,” said the king. “My youngest son will be king.”
“No!” said the older brothers. They asked for one more test. The king brought out a hoop and asked all three maidens to hop through. The two fancy maidens tripped on their gowns. But the third hopped through easily in her simple clothes.
So the youngest son became king. He married his maiden and the two lived happily ever after.

A play is made up of different parts. All of the parts work together to tell a story.
• The list of characters at the beginning of a play tells who the characters are.
• The people who play the parts of the characters are called actors.
• Some plays have a narrator. The narrator tells the audience what is happening in the play.
• The setting is where and when the play takes place. Many plays have more than one setting.
• The dialogue is the lines of text the characters speak in the play. The characters’ names appear before the lines they speak.

Storyteller: Joe walked to school one foggy day. He didn’t stop to laugh or play. Joe and his goat marched down the trail. He had his lunch inside a pail. An apple fell out on the ground. A sandwich dropped without a sound. Some carrot sticks were next to go. Soon there was no lunch left for Joe. At school, Joe told his pet to wait. He tied Goat to the big front gate. Joe went to class. And then at noon he got his lunch pail, fork, and spoon.

Storyteller: Th ere was no lunch inside Joe’s pail. He lost his food along the trail. Each thing had fallen bit by bit. But Joe thought Goat had eaten it.
Joe: No food at lunch time? Th at’s not nice! I should have gotten two pet mice. No dog would eat my lunch like that. And neither would a kitty cat.
Goat: Bleat, bleat! Nothing to eat. Storyteller: Soon it was time for Joe to go. But
thick fog made the going slow. Joe could not see one step ahead. He held Goat’s rope and shook his head.
Joe: I think that we are lost, my friend. I cannot see around the bend. I cannot see a tree or log. I cannot see in all this fog.
Storyteller: Just then, that goat began to bleat! His nose found something good to eat.
Goat: Bleat, bleat! Meat to eat! Joe: I’ll stop and let you look around.
Please, tell me, what else have you found?
