Read the story. Then answer the questions.
Mrs. Doran is our teacher. Everyone likes her. On Tuesday, Mrs. Doran held up a big bottle with lots of coloured string inside it. It had a lid sealed with sticky tape. “We are going to have a competition called, ‘Guess the length of the Piece of String.” It’s ten cents a guess,” she said. Then she asked us who would like to take the jar home on the weekend, and then Mrs. Doran picked me. I put the jar on the kitchen bench. I looked at it and thought, ‘I wonder how long the string is?” There was such a lot of sticky tape wound around the top. In the kitchen drawer I found a measuring tape, a roll of sticky tape, and some scissors. I picked up the jar and looked at it. I started to unwind the sticky tape. I unscrewed the lid. I stretched out the string beside the measuring tape. I measured it. It was 86 centimeters. But then I felt miserable. I wished I hadn’t measured it. I picked up the scissors and cut off some of the string. I put the string back in the jar, and put some new sticky tape around it. With the jar in my hand, and there was Mum. “Oh, did you measure the string, Max? “Yes. I just had to know how long it was!” “Max, you‘ll have to tell Mrs. Doran.” On Monday I told Mrs. Doran. She just smiled and said, “Thank you for telling me, Max . . .”
