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.

:D Paka and I must have birthday on the brain. He is getting ready for gym as we were talking, so he hadn't read my reply. His fist thought was 'The table next to you in the restaurant has a cake and some balloons'

'You can't see the animal in the zoo enclosure but you can see X, Y and Z' (such as a tire swing, bananas and climbing ropes for monkeys)

'Someone has on running shoes, headphones and sweats and is doing warm up stretches'
