Story Summary:

- Father Eagle tells his son it’s a special day — he will fly for the first time.

- Father Eagle pushes him off a high cliff.
- Baby Eagle yells “Help! Help!” and flaps his wings.
- Then, “All of a sudden something wonderful happened!”

Question 1: What do you think happened next? Color the rock that tells the most likely answer.

Options:
- He fell on the rocks.
- He got hurt.
- He broke his wing on a tree limb.
- He learned to fly.

✔ Correct answer: *He learned to fly.*

Why? The story says:
> “All of a sudden something wonderful happened!”

This phrase suggests a positive outcome. The other options (falling, getting hurt, breaking a wing) are negative and don’t match the word "wonderful." So, the most likely prediction is that he learned to fly.

👉 Color the rock that says: *He learned to fly.*

Question 2: Why did you choose that answer? Find the sentence in the story that gives you a hint that the story has a happy ending. Write it here.

✔ Answer:
> “All of a sudden something wonderful happened!”

This sentence is key. It indicates a positive turn of events — not a tragedy. That’s why we predict he learned to fly instead of getting hurt.

Unscramble the words and write the answer:

- ODPRU → Proud
- AARDFI → Afraid

These words are related to emotions in the story:
- Baby Eagle was afraid.
- Father Eagle would be proud when his son flew.

So, the unscrambled words are:
- Proud
- Afraid

---

Question 3: How do you think Baby Eagle felt at first when he was pushed off the cliff?

✔ Answer:
Scared or afraid

From the story:
> “Baby Eagle yelled, ‘Help! Help!’” — this shows fear.

Also, earlier he said, “But Father, I don’t know how. What should I do?” — showing he was nervous and scared.

---

Question 4: How do you think Father Eagle felt at the end of the story?

✔ Answer:
Proud or happy

Because his son successfully flew, and the story ends with “something wonderful happened,” we can infer that Father Eagle felt proud of his son for learning to fly.

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. Color the rock: *He learned to fly.*
2. “All of a sudden something wonderful happened!”
3. Afraid / Scared
4. Proud / Happy
