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 car is going to a crosswalk, and the crosswalk lights start flashing.

The sky is dark and cloudy, and people start opening umbrellas.

A boy walks walks up to a pond full of ducks with some bread in his hand.

A man walks in the door with a suitcase. A woman and children run up and hug him.

Many people are watching TV and counting down. They all have party hats on and are waiting with confetti.

A man runs out of a store carrying a TV. Alarms start to go off and the owner starts chasing him.

You walk in to your bedroom and see your piggybank is lying on it's side, empty. Your sister walks by with a pile of candy.

A neighbour comes home with a big fish tank, some rocks, and some plants for it.
