thumbelina excerpt by hans christian andersen
during the whole summer, poor little thumbelina lived alone in the wide forest. she wove herself a bed with blades of grass. she hung it up under a wide leaf to protect herself from the rain. she sucked the honey from the flowers for food. she drank the dew from their leaves every morning. so passed away the summer and the fall. then came the winter. all the birds who sang to her so sweetly flew away. the trees and the flowers withered. the large clover leaf under the shelter was now rolled together. it shriveled up. nothing remained but a yellow withered stalk. she felt dreadfully cold, for her clothes were torn. she was so frail and delicate. poor little thumbelina was nearly frozen. it began to snow. the snowflakes, as they fell upon her, were like a whole shovelful falling upon one of us.
what is the main idea?
a thumbelina did not know how to care for herself.
b thumbelina had a very hard winter.
c thumbelina enjoyed her life in the forest.
