The Milkmaid and Her Pail(Adapted from Aesop) Patty, the milkmaid, was going to market, carrying her milk in a shiny pail on her head. As she went along, she began telling herself what she would do with all the money she would get for the milk. “I’ll buy some eggs from Farmer Brown,” she said, “and put them under the little brown hen. Then the little brown hen will hatch me a lot of little chicks! And the little chicks will grow up to be hens, and those hens will lay me dozens of eggs. I’ll sell all the eggs for a great deal of money! Then with the money I get from the eggs, I’ll buy a new white dress and a hat with pink flowers and blue ribbons. Oh, won’t I look fine when I go to market in my new white dress and my hat with pink flowers and blue ribbons? Won’t all my friends stand about and look at me? Polly Shaw will be there to stand and look, and Molly Parsons will be there to stand and look, and Jack Squires will be there to stand and look. But I shall just walk past them all and hold my chin high and toss my head like this - ” As she spoke, she tossed her head back, the pail fell off and all the milk was spilled! So she had nothing at all to sell and all her fine dream was brought to nothing. She had to go home and tell her Mother what had happened. “Ah, my child,” said the Mother, “do not count your chickens before the are hatched.” ______________________________ Pail – bucket; a container with a handle used for carrying milk or water Hatched – out of their shells; born Answer the questions
In a Country InnGeorge remembered a very funny thing that happened to his father once. His father was travelling with another man through Wales, and one night they stopped at a little inn. There they saw other young men; they joined them and spent the evening with them. They had a very jolly evening, and sat up late. George’s father and his friend had to sleep in the same room, but in different beds. They took a candle, and went up. But the candle went up suddenly, and they had to undress and find their beds in the dark. They thought they were going to different beds, but in the dark they climbed into the same bed. And so one got in with his head at the top, and the other with his legs on the pillow. There was silence for a moment, and then George’s father said, “Joe!” “What’s the matter, Nom?” asked Joe the other end of the bed. “Why, there’s a man in my bed,” said George’s father. “His feet are on my pillow.” “What a strange thing, Tom,” answered the other; “there is a man in my bed too.” “What are going to do?” asked George’s father. “I’m going to push him out,” Joe answered. “So am I,” said George’s father. There was a short fight, the sound of a heavy fall on the floor, and then a voice said: “I say, Tom!” “Yes!” “How have you got on?” “Well, my man has pushed me out.” “So has mine. I say, I don’t like this inn, do you?” (After Jerome K. Jerome) ______________________ inn – a small hotel Answer the questions
3. Why did they have to undress and find their beds in the dark? Making friends in cyberspaceSally was a seventeen-year-old high school student. She lived with her parents on the outskirts of a small village in North Dakota, in the US. The winters are long and cold in North Dakota, and Sally sometimes felt very isolated from the outside world. However, Sally had a computer in her bedroom. Late at night, when she had finished her homework, she used to get onto the Internet, log into chat room and join a chat group. One night, around midnight, she started chatting to someone using the name ‘Zanda’. Sally and Zanda soon realized they had a lot in common. So they agreed to leave the chat room and talk to each other more privately using an instant message service called ICQ. Sally discovered that Zanda was an eighteen-year-old boy from Sydney, Australia. His real name was Ben. They sent each other messages for about an hour, and exchanged e-mail addresses. Over the next year sally and Ben e-mailed each other regularly and also communicated through ICQ. Then one day Sally decided she wanted to visit Ben in Australia. Sally’s parents were very nervous about the idea. However, after talking to Ben’s parents by phone and e-mailed, they agreed that she could go. Six months later two friends met face to face for the first time. This friendship between two people thousands of miles apart was possible because the Internet links computers all over the world. It has been described as the moat revolutionary technological development since the telephone. In a short time, it has changed how people communicate with each other, how they do business, and how they get information. Many people still find it amazing that two people who live as far Sally and Ben can communicate with each other so easily. Answer the questions |
