Read the passage and answer the questions.
The magician
Simon was really excited when he got a magic kit on his birthday. He dreamed of being a great magician someday.
He figured he’d get his start at the school talent show. But when he opened the box, Simon wasn’t so excited anymore. All the tricks were made of plastic pieces that had to be put together. There were lots of instructions to read. Simon stared at the box for a while. Then he closed it back up.
The next week, his teacher sent out a sign-up sheet for the school talent show. Simon still really wanted to be in the show. He signed his name on the sheet: “The Amazing Simon - a magic act.” Everyone got excited when they saw Simon’s name on the sheet.
“Can you really do magic?” his friend Megan asked.
“Sure,” Simon said. “I have a kit and everything.” Simon wasn’t worried. There were four weeks until the talent show. He figured that would be plenty of time to learn some tricks.
The next night, Simon opened the box again. He picked the easiest trick. It was a thin plastic box. You put a quarter in it and closed it. When you opened the box, the quarter was gone. Simon showed the trick to his grandma.
"That’s great, Simon!” she said. “You’re a real magician!” A real magician! Simon felt really proud. He would do just fine in the talent show, he knew it.
But the weeks went by, and Simon didn’t learn any more tricks. Everything else in the box looked so hard. One night Simon and his family were eating dinner. His grandma looked at the calendar on the wall.
"Tomorrow night is the talent show, Simon!” his grandma said. “I can’t wait to see you on stage!”
Simon got a bad feeling in his stomach. He put down his fork. “Uh, grandma, I think I have a problem,” he said.
