Read the story below. Then place the number (starting with 1) on the lines below to correctly order the events as they happened in the story.

Once upon a time, there was a man and a woman who had a daughter who lived on the bank of a stream. The parents did not teacher her nice manners and never punished her for her faults. The daughter would often laugh in her mother's face when she asked her daughter to help cook the dinner or to wash the plates. As the girl grew older she would just spend her days dancing and playing with her friends. She was very selfish, and her parents might as well have had no daughter at all.

However, one morning her mother looked so tired that even the selfish girl could not help but notice. She asked if there was anything she was could do to do so that her mother might rest a little. The good woman looked so surprised and grateful for this offer that the girl felt rather ashamed. At that moment, the daughter would have scrubbed down the whole house if she had been requested. But her mother only asked her to take the fishing-net out to the bank of the river and mend some holes in it because her father intended to go fishing that night. When he came home, her father was grateful for his new, unselfish daughter.

________ Mother looked tired.

________ The girl laughed in Mother's face.

_________The girl was asked to mend the fishing net out.
