passage.
Melissa had been anticipating this day all summer. Ever since she found out that her parents were going to take her and her brothe
enny, to see the end-of-the-season laser show at Amusement World, Melissa couldn't stop thinking about it. She had everything planned
the knew exactly what she was going to bring with her. When the day finally arrived Melissa was ready.
"Melissa, are you ready to go?" her father yelled up the stairs to her.
Melissa looked at her watch. 3 o'clock? That's weird, the park doesn't even open until 5, she thought to herself. "Coming, Dad," she
eplied. Melissa took an inventory of everything she was bringing to make sure she didn't forget anything. Camera? Hat? Sunglasses? Money
Melissa made a mental check for each item on her list. She was ready to go.
It took Melissa two giant leaps to get down the stairs. "I'm ready, Dad. But, can I ask why we are leaving so early?"
"Well, you know what they say: the early bird gets the worm," Dad replied.
Boy was he right. Her family was the first group of people in line for the show. They got front row seats and Melissa was in heaven.
Based on the passage, which explains the meaning of "the early bird gets the worm"?
1. If you wake up early, you are more likely to have a good breakfast.
2. If you arrive early, you have a better chance at getting what you want.
3. Birds that wake up very early in the morning find the best worms to eat.
4. The earlier you arrive at a park, the more likely it is you'll see birds eating.
