Main Idea and Supporting Details
Marco got a letter from his Uncle Ben, the airplane pilot. Uncle Ben has traveled all over the world.

Dear Marco,
This is my third time visiting Paris, and I think it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Paris, as I’m sure you know, is the capital of France. Today I walked along the Avenue des Champs-Elysees, which is the most famous street in Paris. I think it may be the most famous street in the world. It is lined with beautiful trees, fountains, and flowers. There are shops, theaters, and restaurants, and many sidewalk cafes.

I had a wonderful lunch at one of the sidewalk cafes. The pastry I had for dessert was especially delicious. Paris is known for its fine French cooking. I noticed on the café menu that they serve one of the most popular French dishes, which is escargot. Snails, in other words! I don’t think I’ll be trying that while I am here, though.
When you think of Paris, you probably think of the Eiffel Tower. Anyone visiting Paris has to see the Eiffel Tower. You can see the top of the Eiffel Tower from anywhere in the city. It is almost 1000 feet tall. When was built, it was the tallest building in the world. You can walk up the stairs to the top, or you can take an elevator. From the top you can look out across all of Paris. It is an amazing sight!

Tomorrow I am going to the Louvre Museum. It is one of the largest museums in the world. Once it was the French King’s palace. Now, it is home to some of the most famous artworks in the world. I am looking forward to seeing the “Mona Lisa” painting. Have you seen pictures of it? It was painted over 500 years ago! There have been many poems and songs written about it. The woman in the painting has a little half-smile. To me, that makes it seem like she has a secret that she isn’t going to tell.
Yours truly,
Uncle Ben

The Kingly Lion

The animals of the field and forest had a Lion as their King. When anyone had a problem, he took it to the Lion King, and the Lion King helped to solve it. When anyone had an argument, they took it to the Lion King, and he helped to settle it. The Lion King never made demands that were in his own interest. He wanted only what was best for each and every animal.

​​Day after day, the Lion King thought about nothing but the animals who were his subjects. Then he sat down and wrote out a Royal Order. He called all the animals to come before him. He stood on a hilltop and watched the animals come together from far and near. He waited for them to settle.

​“Hear ye, hear ye!” the Lion began, in his deep and rumbling voice. “I have written out my orders for a new way of doing things that will be better for all.From this day forward, the Wolf and the Lamb shall agree to live in peace. The Panther and the Goat shall live in peace. The Tiger and the Deer, and the Dog and the Rabbit— all shall live together in perfect peace and harmony.
The Rabbit said, "Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place without fear, by the side of the strong." And after the Rabbit said this, he ran for his life.
