Restate the theme you selected in the previous question.
Support that theme with two details from the selection.
A cat cornered a mouse in a barn and was about to eat it. “Save me!” the mouse cried. “And someday I may save you!” The cat was haughty. “How can a tiny mouse ever save a cat?” she asked. “I may be tiny,” the mouse answered, “but I have 34 brothers and sisters. Together, we will help you someday when you are in grave danger.”
The cat was amused. She decided to let the mouse go. One day, weeks later, a snarling, growling dog cornered the cat in the same barn.
“Help!” cried the cat. “I’m in grave danger!” Suddenly, 35 mice leaped out of a hole in the wall. They began nipping at the dog with all their might.
The dog yelped as he raced away.
“Thank you,” the cat said to the mice. “You really did save me!”
The theme of the story is the power of unity or strength in numbers. To support this theme, there are two details from the selection:
1. The mouse tells the cat that despite being tiny, it has 34 brothers and sisters who will help the cat someday when it is in grave danger.
2. Weeks later, when a dog corners the cat in the barn, 35 mice come to the cat's rescue, attacking the dog collectively and driving it away.
These details exemplify the theme of unity and strength in numbers, as the mice band together to protect the cat when it is in need. They demonstrate that even though individually they may be small, together they can make a significant impact and overcome challenges.
