DIRECTIONS: Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow Someone dropped a burning match Unheeded by the way It caught on fire some underbrush; Its user did not stay. From grass to brush from brush to tree So stealthily it ran, That no one ever guessed or knew Just where that fire began. Someone built a campfire And failed to put it out. A breeze came and quickened; The embers spread about; And soon the woods were blazing, The fire spread and spread; The trees that took long years to grow Stand blackened now and dead.
