The first theater was in Ancient Greece. Theaters then were outside and they were in the shape of a semi-circle. Some theaters were very big, with space for more than 15,000 people. The first actor was named Thespis. Before Thespis there weren’t any actors, there were only storytellers. Thespis won an acting competition in Ancient Greece, and he became very famous. Only men and boys were actors. There were two types of plays in Ancient Greece — comedies and tragedies. Comedies were funny, and tragedies were sad. Actors in comedies wore happy masks and light clothes. Actors in tragedies wore sad masks and dark clothes.

Circle T (true) or F (false).

I Can Read and Write ! The word because can tell us more information, e.g. Doctor Copper was sad because he was lonely. Find more examples of because in the story. What does it tell us about the characters’ feelings?
