Solution
As the sun rises Sumana wakes up. What a lovely morning! She washes her face fast in 2 minutes and runs out. She goes straight to the bird’s nest. She has been watching the eggs for the last few days. She was waiting for the baby birds to come out. But before she can blink her eyes, in a moment a cat jumps on to the tree. The mother bird cries loudly and Sumana rushes to shoo away the cat. As the cat jumps, it hits the big green mango. Dhum!
… In two seconds it is on the ground! Oh, how sad! The mango is still not fully ripe. It needed one more week to become sweet. Suddenly Sumana’s sister calls out — Are you still not hungry? Has your stomach clock gone to sleep? Come and eat hot upma for breakfast.
