Adapted from kate's ordeal
by emma leslie
it was night when kate reached london. her uncle was waiting for her at the railway station. he soon stowed away her luggage in a cab, and they were rattling through the brilliantly lit streets. to kate's unaccustomed eyes, it was like fairyland for a few minutes. she thought she had indeed been fortunate to be able to get a job in one of these grand, fancy looking shops.
however, she soon found there were streets in london almost as dimly lit as her own village streets at home. the shops, too, looked much less grand and imposing than those she had first seen.
at last, the cab stopped and kate saw, to her dismay, that it was not a broad, fashionable thoroughfare, and the shop, with its piles of buns and loaves of bread, looked old-fashioned. the whole street did not look modern although there were many people on it. everybody seemed in such a hurry. kate wondered if there was a fire or some accident that must have happened close by. all this passed through her mind as she stood on the pavement looking up and down the busy, old-fashioned street, which was so unlike what she had fancied her new home would be.
what is the theme of this story?
a.
traveling by night gives people a different perspective.
b.
people who live in cities are preoccupied with business.
c.
contentment comes from appreciating what you have.
d.
unrealistic expectations can lead to disappointment.
