Once upon a time, there was a car named Carl. Carl loved to go on adventures and explore the world. One day, Carl decided to take a drive through the forest.

As he was driving, he saw an alligator sunbathing by the side of the road. Carl honked his horn and waved, but the alligator just stared back with a blank expression. Carl shrugged and continued on his way.

As he drove deeper into the forest, he saw a bear lying on a bed made of leaves and sticks. The bear was snoring loudly and didn't even notice Carl as he drove by.

Further down the road, Carl saw a bee buzzing around a flower. The bee was so busy collecting nectar that it didn't even notice Carl. Carl smiled and continued on his way.

As he was nearing the edge of the forest, Carl saw a bird sitting on a branch. The bird was singing a beautiful song and Carl stopped to listen for a moment before continuing on his journey.

But Carl's adventure was not over yet. As he was about to exit the forest, he saw a cat sitting on a computer. The cat was typing away and didn't even notice Carl. Carl laughed and drove away.

Finally, Carl reached his destination. He was so thirsty that he decided to stop and have a drink of water from a cup. After he finished his drink, he saw a carrot growing in the field. Carl was so happy that he decided to take the carrot with him and went home. After he reached home, he saw an ax and started to chop some wood for fire.

In the end, Carl had a great adventure and returned home with a full stomach and a happy heart.

1. What did Carl think about the alligator's reaction when he honked his horn and waved?
2. Why do you think Carl stopped to listen to the bird singing?
3. Why was Carl happy when he saw the carrot growing in the field?
