Read the story in the box and answer the questions below.

Ida was a kind-hearted girl, and one day when crossing a bridge, she saw two boys on the stream, trying to drown
a little dog. So she ran to the shore, and crying loudly, “Oh! How can you be so cruel to that poor little dog?” The boys
looked at her in wonder, and one of them said, “Father told us to drown it.” The dog had reached the bank, crept
toward Ida. “Poor little fellow,” she said, patting his head, “Will you give him to me?” “Yes,” said the boys, “You may
have him and welcome.” Ida thanked the boys and ran home. “Oh! Mamma,” she cried, “look at this dear little dog;
two boys were trying to drown him and I asked them to give him to me. May I keep him, Mamma?” “My dear child,”
said Mrs. Mason, “I am very glad to hear that you saved the little dog from pain.”
