The Greedy Dog

 A Dog, to whom the butcher had thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go. As he crossed a narrow bridge, he looked down and saw his reflection in the quiet water as if in a mirror. But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own. If he had stopped to think he would have known better. But instead of thinking, he dropped his bone and sprang at the Dog in the river, only to find himself swimming for dear life to reach the shore. At last he managed to scramble out, and as he stood sadly thinking about the good bone he had lost, he realized what a foolish Dog he had been.
According to the text, what happened right after the Dog jumped into the river?

• The dog managed to get out
• The dog realized he was foolish
• The dog had to swim to the shore
• The dog looked into the water

Watering House Plants
Watering may be the most important service you can give your house plants.  More plants fail from improper watering than from any other cause.  "How much water?"  is the initial question most people ask when getting a plant.  Most indoor gardeners agree that there is one best method to judge a plant's need for water.  Feel the soil surface with your finger.  If the potting mix is dry to a depth of one-half to one inch, add water.  If the potting mix is still moist, keep checking the plant periodically.

According to the text, what is the leading cause of plants failing?

• They are not getting the right amount of water
• They are not getting the right amount of sunlight
• Watering is important
• You have to check to see if the potting mix is moist
