3) The old shed
Nasreddin had an old
shed. It had no windows, so it was very dark, and it was full of old things.
One day Nasreddin went into this shed to get a ladder, but slipped on
something and fell against a big garden fork. The fork hit him on the head
and knocked him down. Then it fell on top of him and hit him hard on the left
leg. The end of the fork then went into his long beard. He fought with the
fork fiercely, and at last threw it off him, jumped up and ran out of the
shed. He was very angry. He had an old sword under his bed, and he now ran
and got this. Then he ran back to the shed, opened the door suddenly and shouted
in a terrible voice, “All right, come out and fight, you and all the other
forks in the world! I’m not afraid of you!”
What did Nasreddin
have? What was it like
inside? Why was it dark? What happened one day? Why did Nasreddin go into the shed? What did he do inside the shed? What did the fork do? What did it do after that? What did the ends of the fork
do? What did Nasreddin do? How did he feel? What did he have under his bed? What did he do now?
What did he shout?

2) Telephone
Mrs Jones was waiting for
an important telephone call, but she had no bread in the house, so she left
the baby at home and said to his five-year-old brother, “I am going to the
shops, Jimmy, and I will be back in a few minutes.” While she was out, the
telephone rang, and Jimmy answered. “Hullo,” said a man, “is your mother
there?” “No,” answered Jimmy. “Well, when she comes back, say to her, ‘Mr
Baker telephoned’.” “What?” “Mr Baker. Write it down. B-A-K-E-R.” “How do you
make a B?” “How do I make …? Listen, little boy, is there anybody else with
you? Any brother or sister?” “My brother Billy is here.” “Good, I want to
talk to him, please.” “All right.” Jimmy took the telephone to the baby’s bed
and gave it to Billy. When their mother came back, she asked, “Did anyone
telephone?” “Yes,” said Jimmy, “a man. But he only wanted to talk to Billy.”
What was Mrs Jones
waiting for? Why did she go
out? What did she do with the
baby when she went out? What did
she say to Jimmy? How old was
he? What happened while she was
out? What did Jimmy do? What did the man say? What did Jimmy say? What did Jimmy answer? What did the man say then? What did Jimmy say? What was the man’s answer? What did Jimmy ask him then? What did the man say then? What did Jimmy answer? What did the man say? What did Jimmy say? What did he do? What did Jimmy’s mother do when she came
home? What did Jimmy answer?

1) Christmas
It was two weeks before Christmas, and
Mrs Smith was very busy. She bought a lot of Christmas cards to send to her
friends and to her husband’s friends, and put them on the table in the
living-room. Then, when her husband came home from work, she said to him,
“Here are the Christmas cards for our friends, and here are some stamps, a
pen and our book of addresses. Will you please write the cards while I am
cooking the dinner?” Mr Smith did not say anything, but walked out of the
living-room and went to his study. Mrs Smith was very angry with him, but did
not say anything either. Then a minute later he came back with a box full of
Christmas cards. All of them had addresses and stamps on them. “These are
from last year,” he said. “I forgot to post them.”
When was Mrs Smith very busy? What did she do? Why did she buy the cards? Where did she put them? What did she say to her
husband? What did Mr Smith
say? What did he do? How did Mrs
Smith feel? What did she
say? What did Mr Smith do a minute
later? What did he say?
