Which characters in "How Grandmother Spider Stole the Sun” try to steal a
piece of the Sun before Grandmother Spider succeeds? Choose .

"The first one to try was the

Fox. He crept to the place where the Sun was kept. When no one was

looking, he grabbed a piece of it in his mouth and ran. But the Sun was so

hot, it burned his mouth and he dropped it."

"The next animal to try was the Possum. Possums, during that time, had

bushy tails. So, the Possum sneaked up to the place where the Sun was kept,

snipped off a piece, and hid it in her tail. Then she ran, taking the Sun back

to the animals and people. She lost her grip on the Sun when it started to

burn away all the hair on her tail."

"Finally, Grandmother Spider tried. She was smart and clever. Instead of

trying to hold the Sun herself, she wove a bag out of webbing. She put the

piece of the Sun into her bag and brought it back to her people. The big

question now was where to put the Sun."
