Read the story

Room 4 at the Museum

1Room 4 visits the museum on Friday. Ravi tiptoes into the dinosaur hall because it is so quiet. A gigantic skeleton stands in the middle of the room. Its head is almost as high as the ceiling.

2Ravi stares at the long neck. Priya takes a quick glance at the skeleton and then runs to a glass case. Inside is a tiny fossil, no bigger than a coin. Leo peeks around a sign to see the dinosaur's tail.

3At noon, the guide says, "Time for lunch!" The children walk to the door. Ravi takes one last look at the skeleton. "Goodbye, big friend," he whispers.
