Read the passage.

Ted stopped digging and looked around. Now the hole was very deep. He saw dirt, rocks, and worms. Above him, he saw the bright blue sky. Then he saw his sister looking down at him, laughing.

There was no treasure here! He was hot and dirty for nothing! His sister had tricked him again!

key idea

When you read a story, think about how the words and pictures work together. Both can tell you about a story's setting and its main character.

The setting is where and when a story happens. For example, a story could happen at school in the morning or in the United States in the 1950s.

The main character is the most important person, animal, or thing in a story. For example, Peter Pan and Snow White are the main characters in their stories.
