Full Class 3/4 Maths+Eng Review - Dec 12. 2020

 



Jasmine’s father was an influential Lord. He ruled all of the lands of the Red River and his palace stood tall and majestic on its broad banks. Yet, Jasmine felt forlorn and sad. Her father kept her locked away at the top of the palace’s tallest tower in order to keep her out of harm’s way. Jasmine felt trapped; the only company she had was her maid and her daily routine was always the same. Everyday, she would sit by her window embroidering and look out of her window, gazing sorrowfully down at the waters rushing past far below. 

Often, she dreamed of being carried away in the fast-flowing rapids to distant lands. One morning, Jasmine heard music floating through her open window. She hurried over to see where the sound was coming from. There, on the river below, was a little golden fishing boat. Jasmine heard the music rise up from the boat and caught snatches of a song: “My love is like a blossom in the breeze. My love is like a moonbeam on the waves.” The music was captivating and she loved it. 

The voice was clear and sweet and Jasmine leaned out as far out as she could to try to catch sight of the singer. As the boat bobbed past, she glimpsed the tiny figure of a man who stood with a net. A sudden glimmer of hope lit up in her heart and she felt as if she was floating on air. Could he be the one to release her from the lonely tower?
