    1-cunning 2-quiet 3-fresh 4-blind
    5-slippers 6-busy 7-stubborn 8-old 9-light

    If No.3 is correct I can not understand why mouse is fresh.

  2. Mayumi,
    You are correct. except for the daisy and the mouse. The daisy is a flower that reminds us of the freshness of spring. And the mouse can run around your house and you never hear him.
    Good work!

  4. Grace,
    Close! But consider this:
    A mouse is not loud.
    An eel is wet and smooth, hard to hold on to.
    The hills have been around for a long, long time.
    A bell makes a distinct sound.
