Read the story. On Saturday, Tasha tried to ride her two-wheel bike without training wheels. She wobbled and had to step off quickly. Her uncle said, "Look ahead, not down," and held the seat. Tasha took a deep breath and pedaled slowly. She kept her eyes on a tree at the end of the sidewalk. After a few tries, her bike stayed steady. Her uncle let go for a moment, and Tasha did not fall. Tasha shouted, "I’m doing it!" and rode to the tree. What helped Tasha solve her problem?

Lena and her dad went to the library on Saturday morning. Lena wanted a book about space, but the space shelf was empty. She looked on the return cart and saw a pile of books. “Maybe it’s here,” she said, and she checked each title. At last she found a book called Moon Trips, but it had a torn cover. Lena brought it to the desk and told the librarian. The librarian thanked her and taped the cover, then put it in a fix-it box. Lena chose a different space book to borrow for now. On the way home, Lena felt proud for helping.

After reading the story, how did Lena help?
