Let’s read the story together and answer each question step by step.
---
1. Read the passage.
We’ve already read it! Here’s a quick summary to help:
The pig saw many animals — dog, cat, bat, fox — but every time, he ran away. Even when they saw him, he still ran. In the end, no one stayed with him, so he was sad and alone.

2. Underline each word that you could not read.
This is something *you* have to do based on your own reading level. Since I can’t know which words are hard for you, here’s what you should do:
→ Go back through the story slowly.
→ If you find a word you don’t know how to say or understand, underline it gently with your pencil.
→ Common tricky words in this story might be: “bat”, “fox”, “alone” — but only underline them if THEY are hard for YOU.
---
3. Circle each word that took you more than 1 try.
Again, this is personal. As you read aloud (or in your head), notice if you had to stop and try saying a word again.
Example:
- If you said “pig” right away → don’t circle it.
- If you stumbled on “bat” and tried twice → circle “bat”.
Tip: Read the whole story out loud once, then go back and mark the words that gave you trouble.

4. Answer the questions.
Wait — there are no actual questions listed after #4? That’s okay! Sometimes worksheets forget to print the questions. But since the story is about “The Sad Pig”, let’s think of likely questions and answer them:
Possible Question 1: Why was the pig sad?
→ Because he kept running away from everyone, even when they didn’t chase him. He ended up all alone.
Possible Question 2: Who did the pig see?
→ He saw: dog, cat, bat, fox.
Possible Question 3: Did any animal chase the pig?
→ No! The story says “He ran away” each time — it doesn’t say anyone chased him. He just got scared and left.
Possible Question 4: What could the pig have done differently?
→ He could have stayed and talked to the animals instead of running away. Maybe he wouldn’t have been sad.

Final Answer:
Since there were no specific questions written under #4, here’s a complete response based on what we learned:
The pig was sad because he ran away from every animal he saw — the dog, cat, bat, and fox — even though none of them chased him. He ended up all alone. To feel better next time, he could try staying and saying hello instead of running.
