Friends list, I need your help.

I need scenarios where my students might reasonably infer what was happening, in language and theme that is fine for ten-year-olds. For example:

1) A young man arrives at his girlfriend's house, bearing a dozen red roses and a small jewelry box.

2) Sirens go off in the middle of the night; when you look out your window, you see an ambulance parked in front of the house of your elderly neighbours.

Give me more. I'm typing them onto inference cards and making a game of them for my kids.

A person is walking out into the yard carrying a rake.

The wind chime hanging on the porch starts to make jingly sounds.

The cat sees the person taking out a can, a can opener, and the cat's bowl.
