The Yellow Submarine Last Sunday afternoon, a submarine set out to sea. The

sub was full of passengers who took a trip to look at the fun

world under the sea. The passengers were lucky because they

got to see many things. On the way back, the sub got stuck

in the lumpy rocks. They tried to use the propeller to push

it but it didn’t work. They lifted the periscope but could not

see. All of a sudden, they felt a big bump. The sub began to

move. From the windows, they saw a huge whale swim by and

wave! Using text evidence, answer the following questions. Show proof by highlighting where you found thee answers in the text.
