Food Chains

Reading Comprehension


Jerry the Beaver

Jerry the beaver is a very good beaver. Jerry made his house out of wood. Jerry built his house in the water because he likes to eat fish. He is a very hard working beaver and has made the biggest beaver house in the forest! His house was so big that all the fish in the river would swim right into his house. Jerry was very happy because he had a nice big house and all the fish he could ever want.

Now, Jerry was not the only beaver in the forest. There were many other beavers in the woods and many other animals in the forest who also liked to eat fish. All the other animals liked Jerry but they didn’t like that he was keeping all the fish to himself. So they didn’t ask Jerry to come to the Big Forest Party held every year! This made Jerry sad so he stayed home and ate his fish all alone in his big house.

In the middle of the party the animals noticed there were only a few fish left to eat.

“We will have to get more fish!” said Doug the Skunk. The other animals agreed. So, Doug and a few others made their way to the river but there were no fish in it because they had all flopped into Jerry’s house. As the small group walked upstream they heard someone yelling for help! They rushed to see who was in trouble!

As they ran they could hear that it was coming from Jerry’s house! Doug and his friends burst into Jerry’s house and there were fish everywhere!

“Jerry! Where are you, Jerry?” they shouted. “I’m under the fish! Help me!”

Doug dove into the pile of fish and found Jerry’s tail sticking up. They all grabbed it and pulled him out of the pile of fish!
“Thank you so much! I’m sorry for keeping all the fish for myself.” Jerry said. “I guess I got what I deserve.”

“It’s okay Jerry, you’re safe now. Just come back to the party with us!” “Do you really mean it?” asked Jerry. Just then, there was a knock at the door. It was all the other animals! “FISH!” They all exclaimed. And all the animals rushed into the room and began to party around the big pile of fish. The animals had such a great time in Jerry’s big house and they all had plenty of fish to eat.

“It kinda stinks in here!” said Doug. “Yes it does, Doug. Yes it does.”
