RS2 Mr. Mole's Stove Homework Packet · 3/9/2020 · Mister Mole’s Stove Day 2 Reading Series...

Mister Mole lived in a hole at the top of a windswept slope. When Mister

Mole was a strong lad, he had dragged stone after stone up from the cove.

The rest of the moles on the slope had poked fun at him, “You are nuts,”

they joked, as Mister Mole dragged up stone after stone with a sack and a

rope. But Mister Mole did not take note. He had a plan to construct a stove

that would warm his home for the rest of his days.

Now, as Mister Mole sat and warmed his old bones, he was glad that he had

dragged those stones.

but he had to cope, so he set off with his old sack and rope.

First... Next... Then... After that...

When Mister Mole got to the cove he inspected the stones– too big, too little, too jagged to fit…

But then Mister Mole spotted the stone. It sat in the bottom of the cove.It was flat and the perfect fit. That was it, but there was a problem–Mister Mole was not the best swimmer…

But Mister Mole was not a mole to sit and mope. He disrobed and dovein, but no matter how he swam, he could not get to the stone.

As Mister Mole pondered what to do next, his friend the otter popped up

and asked, “My friend Mister Mole, why do you stand in the cove frozen

and wet?”

“In the bottom of the cove sits the perfect stone that I must get to fix my

stove, but I cannot swim to it,” Mister Mole told him.

At that, Otter dove into the cove, and as quick as he was in, he was back.

He had the stone in one hand and a clam in the other.

“I owe you,” Mister Mole told Otter, “but what can I do?”

“You can fix your stove with this perfect stone and then you can warm me

a pot of clam stew,” Otter told him. “You help me and I help you. That is

what friends do.”
