Question

Read the text and fill in the blanks with the simple past of the verb be.
A poor widow once lived in a little cottage with a garden in front of it, in which grew two rose trees, one bearing white roses and the other red. She had two children, who
just like the two rose trees; one
called Snow White and the other Rose Red, and they
the sweetest and best children in the world: always hardworking, always cheerful. But Snow White
quieter and more gentle than Rose Red. Rose Red loved to run about the fields and meadows, and to pick flowers and catch butterflies. But Snow White sat at home with her mother and helped her in the household, or read aloud to her when there
no work to do.
