20. Fish can't live on land. They don't have legs so they can't
walk. They must swim. They need to be in the water. Some
fish live in fresh water. They live in lakes or rivers. Other
fish live in salt water. You'll find them in the sea. Fish look
different. They come in all shapes and sizes. They come in
all colours. They are the same because all fish live in water.
We can't breathe under water. It's hard to imagine the life of
a fish.

21. Closed Do fish have legs?
Literal Where do fish live?
Inference Why can't people live in water?

They love to eat and drink. In fact, elephants spend half of the
day eating. Their favourite foods are grass, twigs, and fruit.
