Reading Comprehension: The Snowman Who Wanted a Hat

Read the story. Then answer the questions.

On the first snowy morning, Leo and his sister Ana built a snowman in the garden. They gave him two black stones for eyes and a carrot for a nose.

"He looks cold," said Ana. "He needs a hat." Leo ran inside and came back with Grandpa's old red hat. It was too big, so it fell over the snowman's eyes.

The children laughed. Then Ana took her blue scarf and tied it around the hat. Now it stayed in place. "Perfect!" said Leo, and the snowman seemed to smile.
