Which Way???

Directions:

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.

Before any humans walked the earth, when the world was the land of the animals, a very long winter set in. The sun did not come out for three years. The air was always dark. Thick clouds hung low and covered the sky. It snowed all the time. The animals suffered during this long winter. The lack of food was alarming enough, but the lack of heat made it all absolutely unbearable. They were frightened.

The animals called for a grand council. All the beasts, birds, and fishes of all sizes and shapes were invited. All the animals quickly agreed that the most important thing to do was to find out what had become of the heat, for without heat their suffering would never end. Yes, the heat must be found! And it must be brought back again. They decided several quick and brave animals would go on a search mission to the upper world. That's where they suspected the heat had been taken. These are the animals chosen for the mission: Lynx, Fox, Wolf, Wolverine, Mouse, Pike (a freshwater fish), and Dogfish (a kind of small shark--dogfish is a funny name for a shark, isn't it?).

After much traveling far and wide through the air, the group finally found the hidden doorway that opened to the upper world. Excited, they all climbed upward to the world above.
