Which option best describes two themes in this story? Laura helped her parents on their farm every day. In the summer, the
hay needed to be harvested so that there would be food for the cows
in winter. Every day for two weeks, Laura's parents reminded her that
she needed to help with the harvest, but Laura wanted to play with her
friends instead. Then it rained for two weeks straight, and the hay was
left a muddy, soggy mess.
In winter, Laura's family brought the cows into the barn, but there was
not enough hay to feed them. Her parents offered her a choice: She
could sell one of the cows, or she could spend her own money to buy
extra hay from the neighbors. Laura bought the extra hay, and for the
rest of the winter she was reminded of how much it had cost her every
time she had to turn down going shopping with a friend.
