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 baby who can't talk yet toddles over to the refridgerator, bangs on it, looks at you, and puts his hand to his mouth.

Two teams walk off the soccer field. The teammates in blue are loud, jumping, and smiling. The teammates in white are walking quietly, some with their heads down.

Great! Thanks!
