If you have thoroughly read and studied the "Die drei Faulen" reading selection, you should be able to answer the questions in Teil I below without referring back to the text. Try to answer questions based on your comprehension of what you have read, not what you can look up! If you find yourself constantly referring back to the text, that's a sign that you need to re-read it before completing the questions. - In Teil 2 you may need to do a little looking/searching. That's OK!
