READING: HAROLD NEVER GOT THERE

Harold was very

disappointed last
night. All the
other students in
his English class went to a party at their
teachers house, but Harold never got
there. He followed his teachers
directions but he made one little
mistake.
From their school, he walked along
Main Street to Central Avenue and
turned left. He walked up Central
Avenue two blocks to the bus stop at
the corner, across from the post office.
He took the Central Avenue bus and got
off at Fifth Street. He turned left and
walked along Fifth Street three blocks to
Park Avenue and turned right. He
walked up Park Avenue one block to the
bus stop at the corner of Park Avenue
and Sixth Street.
He took Bus Number 42, but he got off
at the wrong stop. He got off at River
Road instead of Rolling Road. He turned
left and walked along River Road one
block. He turned left again and walked
two blocks, turned right, and got
completely lost.
Harold was very upset. He really
wanted to go to the party last night, and
he cant believe he made such a stupid
mistake.
