Rabbit Shares His Turnip — Practice Quiz

A potato

Step 1: Find the part of the story where Donkey comes home. Step 2: The story says 'She had found a potato for herself.' Step 3: Since she had a potato, she felt she did not need the turnip. Step 4: A carrot was found by Deer and a cabbage was found by Goat. The turnip was the one Rabbit had given. So the correct answer is a potato.

Goat

Step 1: Read what Donkey says after she sees the turnip. Step 2: Donkey says 'Goat's always hungry. I should take this to him.' Step 3: So Donkey decided to give the turnip to Goat because she thought Goat needed it more. Step 4: Deer received the turnip later from Goat, not from Donkey. Rabbit was the one who first gave the turnip. So the correct answer is Goat.

A cabbage

Step 1: Find the part where Goat comes home. Step 2: The story says 'Goat returned home with a cabbage.' Step 3: Since he had a cabbage, he did not need the turnip. Step 4: A potato was Donkey's food, a carrot was Deer's food, and the turnip was the one being passed around. So the correct answer is a cabbage.

Because Deer had passed that way earlier

Step 1: Read what Goat thinks when he sees the turnip. Step 2: Goat says 'It must have been Deer when she passed this way.' Step 3: Goat assumed that since Deer had walked by, the turnip must have been dropped by her. Step 4: Deer never asked Goat to keep it, and Goat did not actually see Deer drop it. So the correct answer is that Deer had passed that way earlier.
