Hamsters Are Cute, but...



Hamster Cause & Effect

Directions: Read the story.  Then fill in the chart of causes and effects.

Yesterday, after playing with my hamster on the floor, I put him back into his cage.  But, I didn’t close the lid tightly and he escaped.  I didn’t know he was loose until I saw something run by my feet.  I jumped up quickly and hit the lamp on the table next to me.  The lamp fell and crashed to the ground, making a loud noise.

Soon, my dad was in the room upset that he was awoken from his nap.  I walked over to
apologize when I stopped just in time.  My hamster was sitting in front of me, looking up, and smiling.

I reached down to grab him, and he took off under the couch and into the kitchen.  When I heard the scream, I knew my mom had seen my pet.  She scooped him into a colander and popped him back into his cage.  I tightly secured the top, and he was back in his home.  I watched him play, and thought for sure I saw him give me a little wink.
