Passage Summary:

- Miss Megan wrote it.
- Andy was the king.
- Sue was the queen.

A) Answer the following questions:
1. Who is the narrator of this story?
Look at how the story is told. It says things like:
> “My teacher, Miss Megan wrote it.”
> “I was the princess.”
> “Mum, dad and my brother were there.”
> “Dad said ‘you were a beautiful princess, Alice!’”
The person telling the story uses “I” and talks about themselves being in the play — that means
Alice is the narrator. She’s telling us what happened from her point of view.
✔ So, the narrator is
Alice.

2. What did Alice wear? Why?
From the text:
> “I was the princess. My costume was beautiful! I wore a long blue dress.”
She wore a
long blue dress because she was playing the role of the
princess in the school play.
✔ So, Alice wore a long blue dress because she was the princess in the play.

3. _________ wore a king costume.

4. Alice’s __________ didn’t come to see her.
Options:
a) father → He DID come — he spoke to her after the play.
b) mother → She came too — mentioned as “Mum, dad and my brother were there.”
c) grandmother → Not mentioned anywhere. Only mum, dad, and brother are listed as coming.
So, since grandmother isn’t mentioned, we can assume she
didn’t come.
✔ Correct answer:
c) grandmother
*(Note: Even though the option says “grandmother”, and the text doesn’t say she came, we go with what’s written — only mum, dad, and brother attended.)*
