Quick Review: We've used our up and down arrows to navigate to the previous and next line. We've used our left and right arrows to navigate to the previous and next character. We've added in the control key to our left and right arrows to navigate to the previous and next word.
What's Next? Paragraphs! How do you think we read paragraph by paragraph?
Ding, ding, ding! You got it. That pesky control button again! At least, I know you would have gotten there eventually.
We use control + down arrow to read the next paragraph, and control + up arrow to read the previous paragraph.
Practice
Read the following short stories by using control + down arrow to navigate paragraph by paragraph. When you've reached the end of the story, try navigating to the beginning by using control + up arrow. Press the continue button to open the next story.
Story 1
I have a cat named Manny, and he eats all day. He always lays around, and never wants to play. I buy him all the toys a cat could want. I set up the room with fun climbing spots.
Every time I bring out his toys, he just turns away. Nothing works! Not even a squeaky toy mouse. Nor anything that moves. When I have him exercise, he always disapproves. He runs and hides.
So we've put him on a diet. It was our last stitch effort. but now he yells all day. And even though he's thinner, he still won't come and play.
Story 2
"I made myself a snowball, as perfect as could be. I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas, and a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away, but first it wet the bed."
--by Shel Silverstein--
Story 3
In the jungle there is a powerful monkey king. This powerful monkey king is known for a patch of gray fur on the back of his right shoulder. He wears it as a badge of honor. He is wise. He is experienced. But, he is getting old. And as all monkey kings know, someday he will need to choose a new monkey to take his place as king of the jungle.
To select a new monkey king, there is a competition between the strongest and smartest monkeys in the troop. Female and male monkeys may compete alike. The competition would be held in the next few months, with King Gris as the judge.
The competition was comprised of four steps. First, monkeys need to demonstrate strength by testing their endurance through a dangerous obstacle course in search of delicious fruit for the troop. Next, they would need to demonstrate their empathy, by offering a sacrifice to the youngest members of the monkey troop. Third, monkeys need to demonstrate their ability to protect, by designing a trap to capture an enemy animal. Lastly, they would need to demonstrate intelligence, by explaining how they would negotiate with neighbor monkey troops for resources. Only after all four challenges would King Gris be able to make his decision.
This time, ten monkeys put their bananas in the ring to compete for the title of Monkey King. There were eight male monkeys and two female monkeys. One by one monkeys dropped out of the race. First, a monkey nearly fell out of a tree during the obstacle course. Another monkey was asked to drop out after he ate the delicious fruit himself instead of bringing it back for all the monkeys to share. Two more monkeys couldn't think of anything worth sacrificing for the baby monkeys. One monkey was too afraid to protect his fellow monkeys from anything larger than a squirrel. One monkey fell into his own trap. Another monkey accidentally got stuck in the other monkey's trap.
Finally there were only three monkeys left. Both of the female monkeys had passed through all the difficult challenges, and one male monkey. Raj, Kenya, and Mona were the three remaining monkeys in the competition. They were asked to demonstrate their negotiation skills. Raj demanded what he wanted with no compromise. Kenya was too timid to ask for anything. And, Mona spoke with the calm strength of a proficient leader. Gris smiled and thumped his chest. Without a doubt, Mona would be the troop's first female Monkey Queen!
