READING Comprehension - Egg Contest
The school principal offerred a gold pen to anyone who could drop an egg from the roof of the school without the egg breaking.
Sally made a parachute from an old cloth and tied the cloth to a plastic cup. To protect the egg from hard knocks, she lined the cup with cotton balls, putting the egg inside the cup.
Everyone made some sort of contraption, but Sally's was by far the most interesting and promising. Everyone dropped their egg-contraption. When Sally dropped hers, there was a strong breeze at the time, but the parachute opened smoothly. A little ways down, however, the plastic cup turned upside down and the egg fell out and broke on the ground.
Although no one won the prize, Sally realized how to improve on her contraption, was excited to try again, and was determined she would win the prize the text time she tried.
