Read this non-fiction text called “The

Rollaway Egg”.

Once upon a time, there lived an old man who had many
grandchildren. Every year, the old man arranged an egg-rolling
race for all his grandchildren. They stood at the top of the tallest
hill in town and rolled the eggs as hard as they could to see who
could reach the finish line.
One Easter, the youngest grandchild Tim rolled his egg so hard
that it didn’t even stop when it got to the finish line. The egg rolled
and rolled and rolled. Tim and the rest of the family gave chase
but they could not keep up with the egg. “Come back!” they cried.
“No, no, no! I’m too fast for you!”
laughed the egg and he quickly rolled on. Soon,
the egg met a bunny.
“Hello, Mr Egg,” said the bunny.
“Please stop rolling so I can eat
you up!”
“No, no, no! I’m too fast for you!”
cried the egg and he
quickly rolled on.
After that, the egg met a chick.
“Hello, Mr Egg,” said the chick.
“Please stop rolling so I
can eat you up!”

“Hello, Mr Egg,” said the chick.
“Please stop rolling so I can eat you up!”
“No, no, no! I’m too fast for you!”
called the egg and he quickly rolled on.
A little while later, the egg met a lamb.
“Hello, Mr Egg,” said the lamb.
“Please stop rolling so I can eat you up!”
“No, no, no! I’m too fast for you!”
shouted the egg and he quickly rolled on.

Suddenly, the egg saw a fox standing next to a big river. He rolled
forward for a closer look. “Hello, little egg, who are you trying to
roll away from?” asked the fox.
“Everyone is chasing me, they want to eat me up!” sobbed the egg.
“Why don’t I help you escape across this wide river? They won’t be
able to chase you then. Just jump onto my nose and I will carry
you across,” offered the fox.
“Thank you!” said the egg. The egg rolled onto his nose. As quick
as a flash, the fox tossed the egg into the air and gobbled it up!
That was the end of the rollaway egg.
