Mouse and the Motorcycle Ch. 3

It was well know that the trash from the hotel was

• carried off to a dump many miles away

• emptied into the incinerator

• buried in a ravine behind the main building

Ralph told himself he should have been content to stay at home without venturing out into the world looking for...

• candy bars and fruit

• toy cars

• speed and excitement

Who knew the truth about the knothole under the window in room 215?

• the college girl working as a second floor maid for the summer

• Matt, who was a regular employee at the Mountain View Inn

• the boy who had just moved into the room

Which of the following was NOT something Ralph did to try and escape from the trashcan?

• He tried to tip it over.

• He attempted to stack the apple core on top of the motorcycle hoping he could climb out.

• He shouted for help.

Ralph made a hearty meal from the core because he...

• was so hungry he could not resist

• wanted to keep up his strength

• thought he might as well be thrown out with the trash on a full stomach as an empty one

Which of the following was not a reason Ralph told the two scout ants to go away?

• He hates ants.

• He didn't like to eat food crawling with ants.

• He was embarrassed to be in such a predicament.

What thought kept Ralph tossing and turning until he finally fell asleep?

• His mother would never know what happened to him.

• The boy was sure to miss his motorcycle and start looking for it.

• With no place to hide, he would be a found by a shrieking maid and hurt with a broom.
