one day a policeman walked past a restaurant, he looked inside to see a chef making a blueberry cake. “the manager has done a fine job of making this establishment!” said the officer. he wanted to be the first costumer! as he walks in a shelf falls down on his head. BOOM! a woman asks if he’s ok and helps him rise. she bring him to a table and gives him a free cherry pastry. his police friend asks him where he was at over the radio. as he responded with “i’m with a friend.” as he looks over at the woman. as he eats the pastry she asks, “would you like to know the recipe for this cherry pastry?” and as he responds a person outside yells. “AHHHH a thief!! they stole my purse!!” that’s when the officer says “gotta run, i’ll catch you later.”

Answer:

I went to see my friend, who works as a manager at a local restaurant. As I walked in, she led me to an empty table by the window. There was a person sitting at the counter. The woman customer was finishing up a cherry topped cake. I was watching the chef go to a wooden shelf and get some freshly baked muffins. The smell reminded me of my Mom's blueberry muffins recipe. As I was drinking my tea, I looked out the window and saw a policeman. He had just caught a thief robbing an old woman's purse. As I finish up my tea, I can't stop thinking about the sights, the sounds, and the smells.

The Black Beauty
The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant
meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees
leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep
end. Over the hedge on one side, we looked into a ploughed
field, and on the other, we looked over a gate at our master's
house, which stood by the roadside. At the top of the meadow
was a plantation of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook
overhung by a steep bank. Whilst I was young, I lived upon my
mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. In the day time, I ran
by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was
hot, we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and
when it was cold, we had a nice warm shed near the plantation
As soon as I was old enough to eat grass, my mother started
to go out to work in the day time, and come back in the
evening. There were six young colts in the meadow beside me,
all older than I was; some were nearly as large as grown-up
horses. I used to run with them and had great fun; we used
to gallop together round and round the field, as fast as we
could. Sometimes we had a rather rough play, for they would
frequently bite and kick as well as gallop.
I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to
you. The colts who live here are very good colts; but they are cart-horse colts, and of course they have not learned manners
You have been well bred and are well born; your father has a
great name in these parts, and your grandfather won the cup
two years at the Newmarket races; your grandmother had the
sweetest temper of any horse I ever knew, and I think you have
never seen me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and
good, and never learn bad ways do your work with a good
will lift your feet up well when you trot, and never bite or kick
even in play
Thave never forgotten my mother's advice, I knew she was a
wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her. Her
name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. Our master
was a good kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging
and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little
children: we all were fond of him, and my mother loved him

Remember that an inference is information given in a story that is not directly stated by the author, but it is still very important in order to understand a story. Place a checkmark next to each inference the reader needed to make in order to understand "The Cask of Amontillado":

Montresor and Fortunato are wearing costumes because it is carnival time.

One reason Montresor is wearing a costume is to be sure no one recognizes him when he is walking back to his house with Fortunato.

Fortunato was a competitive person because he got jealous when he thought Luchesi was going to taste the Amontillado.

Montresor leads Fortunato down into the catacombs where many people were buried.

Montresor and Fortunato were down in the catacombs until midnight.

Montresor was upset because Fortunato had seriously offended him and wanted revenge.

No one ever found Fortunato, who Montresor buried alive down in the catacombs.

Montresor kept giving Fortunato wine because he knew he could not resist it and wanted Fortunato to keep following him.
