Read the short story and answer the questions that follow.
One day there was a sudden rainstorm after the pigeon left my uncle's
coop. It rained so hard and so long that everything was flooded. The pigeon did not come right back. My uncle was concerned about the pigeon, and he also worried about his sister. But then the pigeon came back, and it was very wet. It had a note in a plastic bag. The note said, “I am ok. I guess your pigeon is practical after all." Later that summer, there was another problem. There was a power outage that lasted for two days. We did not have any telephone service. My uncle said, “See, pigeons can work all the time. They don't
need electricity." He wrote that in a note, too. He tied that note to the pigeon. Then he sent that note to his sister. About an hour later, the pigeon came back. It had another note
on it. "You're right," it said. “I have learned that you can’t count on pigeons. But I still want my telephone back, and my air conditioner, too."
The phone lines were back the next day, but we were not worried about more power failures. We had insurance because we knew we
could count on our pigeon express.
