Explanation:
We need to put the events in the correct order from 1 to 6, based on the story.
Let’s read the story carefully and pull out the key events in the order they happened:
1. “Last Saturday, Jean and her brother, Carl walked to their Grandma’s house.”
→ This is the start. So:
Jean and her brother walked to see Grandma. =
1
2. “On way the way, they stopped by fruit store and bought apple each, and ate them as they walked.”
→ Happens *after* they start walking, *before* reaching Grandma’s.
So:
Carl and Jean bought and ate some apples. =
2
3. “While crossing the park, Carl picked some wildflowers for Grandma.”
→ Still on the way, during the walk, after buying apples (since apples were bought *on the way*, and picking flowers happened *while crossing the park* — likely next).
So:
Carl picked flowers for Grandma. =
3
4. “They hopped over a fence and left the park. Jean waved hello to Mr. Harps and helped him catch some newspaper the wind had caught.”
→ After the park, they hop over a fence, then help Mr. Harps.
So:
They hopped over a fence. =
4
Then:
Jean helped Mr. Harps catch some newspapers. =
5
5. “Finally, Jean and Carl arrived at Grandma’s house. She came out and gave each of them both a big hug and a plate of cookies.”
→ Last event.
So:
Grandma gave the kids a hug and cookies. =
6
Now let’s match the list:
- Jean helped Mr. Harps catch some newspapers. →
5
- Carl picked flowers for Grandma. →
3
- Grandma gave the kids a hug and cookies. →
6
- Carl and Jean bought and ate some apples. →
2
- They hopped over a fence. →
4
- Jean and her brother walked to see Grandma. →
1
Double-check sequence:
1. Walked to Grandma’s
2. Bought & ate apples
3. Picked flowers (in park)
4. Hopped over fence
5. Helped Mr. Harps
6. Arrived → Grandma hugged & gave cookies
Yes — that matches the story.
Final Answer:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
