LISTENING
I will read the story twice. Then, answer the questions that follow.
The Trail Ride
Anna is going on a trail ride. She will ride fifty miles on horseback. The weather will be cold, and it might
rain. Anna has two horses, Sugar and Ringer. Anna is sure that both horses are in good shape. However, she
wants to choose the better one for the trail ride.
Sugar is a tall white horse. She is always eager to obey Anna’s commands, but she likes to run fast.
Sometimes it is hard for Anna to make Sugar walk slowly. Sugar doesn’t like to walk in mud.
Ringer is a tall brown horse. He is sturdy, patient, and sometimes stubborn. He is more comfortable to
ride than Sugar. He can walk all day without getting tired, and he likes to run. He does not like to be around
other horses.
