Two Places, One Word
On Saturday, Maya received a message from her cousin Leo: “Meet me by the bank at four.” They planned to feed _____, so Maya walked to _____ with a bag of peas. She waited beside the water, but Leo did not appear.
Meanwhile, Leo stood outside the _____, holding Maya’s birthday card. At half past four, he rang her. Both spoke at once: “Where are you?”
When they compared landmarks, the mistake became clear. Maya meant the grassy edge beside the river, while Leo had chosen the building where people keep money. Leo apologised: his message had used one word for two places. He joined Maya by the water, and they gave the peas to the waiting ducks before heading home together.
Answer key
- the ducks
- the river bank
- bank building
