18. Read the story. Then fill on the blank of causes and effects.
Yesterday, after playing with my hamster on the floor, I put
him back into his cage. But, I didn’t close the lid tightly and
he escaped. I didn’t know he was loose until I saw something
run by my feet. I jumped up quickly and hit the lamp on the
table next to me. The lamp fell and crashed to the ground,
making a loud noise. Soon, my dad was in the room upset that
he was awoken from his nap. I walked over to apologize when I
stopped just in time. My hamster was sitting in front of me
looking up and smiling. I reached down to grab him, and he
took off under the couch and into the kitchen. When I heard
the scream, I knew my mom had seen my pet. She scooped
him into a colander and popped him back into his cage. I
tightly secured the top, and he was back in his home. I
watched him play, and thought for sure I saw him give me a
little wink.
