short stories and then identify the nouns, pronouns, and verbs in the passage. Use the highliter tool

1.) The Dog and the Bone

Once there was a dog who wandered the streets night and day in search of food. One day, he found a
big juicy bone and he immediately grabbed it between his mouth and took it home. On his way home,
he crossed a river and saw another dog who also had a bone in its mouth. He wanted that bone for
himself too. But as he opened his mouth, the bone he was biting fell into the river and sank. That night,
he went home hungry.

2.) Lazy John

There was a boy named John who was so lazy, he couldn’t even bother to change his clothes. One day,
he saw that the apple tree in their yard was full of fruits. He wanted to eat some apples but he was too
lazy to climb the tree and take the fruits. So he lay down underneath the tree and waited for the fruits
to fall off. John waited and waited until he was very hungry but the apples never fell.

3.) The Elephant and the Ants

There was once a proud elephant who always bullied smaller animals. He would go to the anthill near
his home and spray water at the ants. The ants, with their size, could do nothing but cry. The elephant
just laughed and threatened the ants that he would crush them to death. One day, the ants had enough
and decided to teach the elephant a lesson. They went straight into the elephant’s trunk and started
biting him. The elephant could only howl in pain. He realized his mistake and apologized to the ants and
all the animals he bullied.

4.) The Boy Who Cried Wolf

There was once a shepherd boy who liked to play tricks. One day, while he was watching over the herd,
the boy decided to play a trick and cried “wolf! wolf!”. The people who heard rushed over to help him.
But they were disappointed when they saw that there was no wolf and the boy was laughing at them.
The next day, he did it again and people rushed to his aid only to be disappointed once again. On the
third day, the boy saw a wolf devouring one of his sheep and cried for help. But the people who heard
him thought this is just another of the boy’s pranks so no one came to help him. That day, the boy lost
some of his sheep to the wolf.

5.) The Hare and the Tortoise


There was once a hare who was friends with a tortoise. One day, he challenged the tortoise to a race.
Seeing how slow the tortoise was going, the hare thought he’ll win this easily. So he took a nap while the
tortoise kept on going. When the hare woke up, he saw that the tortoise was already at the finish line.
Much to his chagrin, the tortoise won the race while he was busy sleeping.
