Comprehension Tuesday 23rd February 2021
Read through the following text twice before trying to answer the questions.
They put me in the oven to bake.
Me, a deprived and miserable cake.
Feeling the heat, I started to bubble.
Watching the others, I knew I was in trouble.
They opened the door and I started my life.
Frosting me with a silver knife,
Decorating me with candy jewels.
The rest of my batch looked like fools.
Lifting me up, she took off my wrapper.
Feeling the breeze, I wanted to pinch her.
Opening her mouth with shiny teeth inside,
This was the day this cupcake died.
