About this worksheet
The Greedy Squirrel is a fable about Pip, who refuses to share his acorns with a slow turtle and a bluebird. A winter storm knocks his nest to the ground, and the same animals give him shelter and berries. 2nd grade students answer nine questions in three parts. The first three trace how the story begins, changes and ends. The next three cover a detail, the word ashamed and the central message, and the last three ask for evidence and opinion. It covers Common Core RL.2.2 and RL.2.5, with model answers in the key.
