The Goat in the Rug Selection Summary

The Goat in the Rug Geraldine lived with her Navajo friend Glenmae.

Glenmae used Geraldine’s wool to weave a rug. After

sharpening a air of scissors, Glenmae started cli ing

off Geraldine’s wool in long strands.

Glenmae washed the wool. When the

wool was dry, Glenmae used a comb to

straighten the fibers. Then Glenmae

started spinning the wool to make yarn.

She twisted and ulled the wool into a fine,

smooth yarn.

Later, Glenmae and Geraldine went

on a walk. Glenmae icked s ecial lants to make dye.

Geraldine ate the lants. She thought they tasted

delicious! So Glenmae bought some dye at the store.

Glenmae boiled the dye. Then she started di ing

the yarn in the dye. She gave the yarn beautiful colors.

She wra ed and wra ed some yarn around two oles.

After that, she hung the yarn and the oles on a loom.

Finally, she started weaving. She worked from the

bottom to the to . The rug grew, one strand of yarn at a

time. At last, the rug was finished. It was erfect and

could not be duplicated. Neither could Geraldine!

Giant of the Desert

A giant cactus grows in the desert. It has arms that shoot up to 14

the sky. Sometimes I think it looks like a giant person. 25

If you listen closely, you can hear the tap, tap of a bird 38

making holes in the cactus. The bird is making a nest. 49

I hear a little hoot. A tiny owl has moved into an old nest. 63

It hunts at night and sleeps in the nest in the daytime. The nest 77

stays cool, even in the hot sun. 84

Big birds make their homes in the cactus, too. Hawks make 95

nests of twigs. 98

In May, it is time for the cactus to bloom. Beautiful white and 111

yellow flowers open up at the tops of the stems. When the moon 124

is in the sky, bats come to the cactus. They drink the sweet juice 138

inside the flowers. 141

When the sun comes up, more animals discover the cactus 151

flowers. As they fly from bloom to bloom, they carry pollen with 163

them. The pollen helps the fruit begin to grow. 172

Birds and ants come to eat the cactus fruit. They also eat 184

the seeds that have fallen. Coyotes and other animals find food 195

at night. Over many years, the cactus grows tall. It is the giant of 209

the desert. 211
