What did Mr Hardy, the main character, do for the community? (reading for specific information)
Here is the story Fifteen Minutes Or So by Mary E. Furlong from the Highlights for Children magazine.
Mr Hardy drove a bus in West Smithville. Each day he started at the big bus garage. He drove people down Main Street and up Green Street and across the Hill Street Bridge. He drove all the way to the end of the line. At the end of the line, he waited for fifteen minutes or so. Then it was time to drive back to the big bus garage.
Mr Hardy liked to drive the bus. But he didn’t like to wait at the end of the line for fifteen minutes or so. Not at all! “There’s nothing to see at the end of the line,” he said. “Nothing but garbage and dirt and weeds.”
One day, Mr Hardy cleaned up some of the garbage at the end of the line. He cleaned and cleaned for fifteen minutes or so. He cleaned up the garbage the next day, too. And the next. And the next.
Then Mr Hardy pulled up weeds at the end of the line. He pulled and pulled for fifteen minutes or so. He pulled up weeds the next day, too. And the next. And the next.
Then Mr Hardy planted flowers at the end of the line. He planned and planted for fifteen minutes or so. He planted the flowers the next day, too. And the next. And the next.
Soon the end of the line looked like a new place, neat and clean, with no garbage anywhere. Instead of garbage there were flowers red and yellow and blue. What a difference Mr Hardy made in fifteen minutes or so!
What did the end of the line look like at the beginning and at the end of the story? What did Mr Hardy do? (making notes)
