You’ve probably heard the saying “the early bird gets the worm.” I never really understood the meaning. Who would want a worm? But, a week ago I experienced it. My friend Juan and I found out that our favorite band was playing a free concert in Town Square. We made a plan to show up at 10am. The concert would begin at 6pm. Our goal was front row seats. Juan brought snacks and I brought blankets. We were the first ones there, had an amazing time hanging out all day in the sun, and got front row seats. We were the early birds and got the “worm” front row seats!
Which answer best fits with the theme of the story?

• It’s important to arrive at a concert early
• Make sure you show up early
• Always plan to arrive early
• If you plan ahead and arrive early you will be at an advantage
