Let’s go step by step to put the events in the correct order.

We are looking at the story “The Wolf & the Crane” and need to number the sentences from 1 (first thing that happened) to 5 (last thing that happened).

Here are the five actions we need to order:

A. “I will reward you very handsomely,” said the Wolf,
B. “But what about my reward!” called the Crane anxiously.
C. The wolf hurried to the Crane.
D. When the Wolf felt that the bone was gone, he started to walk away.
E. A bone had stuck crosswise in the wolf's throat.

Now let’s think about what happens first in the story:

→ First, the wolf eats too much and gets a bone stuck in his throat. That’s the starting problem. So E is #1.

→ Then, because he can’t get it out, he goes to find help — he hurries to the Crane. So C is #2.

→ When he meets the Crane, he promises her a reward if she helps him. So A is #3.

→ After the Crane pulls out the bone, the wolf feels better and starts to leave without paying. So D is #4.

→ Finally, the Crane asks for her reward, and the wolf refuses. So B is #5.

Let’s double-check the order with the story:

1. Bone stuck → E
2. Wolf goes to Crane → C
3. Wolf promises reward → A
4. Wolf walks away after bone is out → D
5. Crane asks for reward → B

Yes, that matches the story perfectly.

1. ___3___ “I will reward you very handsomely,” said the Wolf,
2. ___5___ “But what about my reward!” called the Crane anxiously.
3. ___2___ The wolf hurried to the Crane.
4. ___4___ When the Wolf felt that the bone was gone, he started to walk away.
