✔ SOLUTIONS TO THE QUESTIONS
Here are the correct answers based on the text:
---
① Where did he meet Ed the Elf?
>
Answer: At the North Pole
✔ *Explanation:* The very first sentence says: “I met him at the North pole.” So this is a direct recall question — students just need to find that detail in the text.
---
② What is one thing Ed does?
>
Answer: He makes toys all day, every day.
> *(or)*
He tells jokes.
✔ *Explanation:* The text states two things Ed does: “He makes toys all day, every day” and “Ed also tells jokes.” Either answer is correct. This tests basic understanding of character actions.

③ What was the answer to Ed’s joke?
>
Answer: The elf-a-bet!
✔ *Explanation:* The joke is:
*Elf asks: “What is the first thing elves learn in school?”*
*The narrator says: “I don’t know.”*
*Elf replies: “The elf-a-bet!”*
This is a pun on “alphabet” → “elf-a-bet”. It’s meant to be silly and fun for kids. Students must recall the punchline from the dialogue.
