7) Helen’s eyes
Helen’s eyes were not
very good, so she usually wore glasses. But when she was seventeen and she
began to go out with a young man, she never wore her glasses when she was
with him. When he came to the door to take her out, she took her glasses off,
and when she came home again and he left, she put them on. One day her mother
said to her, “But Helen, why do you never wear your glasses when you are with
Jim? He takes you to beautiful places in his car, but you don’t see
anything.” “Well, Mother,” said Helen, “I look prettier to Jim when I am not
wearing my glasses – and he looks better to me too!”
What did Helen usually
wear? Why did she do
this? What did she begin to do when
she was seventeen? What did she
do when she was with the young man?
Why did the young man come to the door? What did Helen do then? What did she do when she came
home? What did her mother say to
her one day? What did Helen answer?

6) Grandfather
Mrs Brown’s old
grandfather lived with her and her husband. Every morning he went for a walk
in the park and came home at half past twelve for his lunch. But one morning
a police car stopped outside Mrs Brown’s house at twelve o’clock, and two
policemen helped Mr Brown to get out. One of them said to Mrs Brown, “The
poor old gentleman lost his way in the park and telephoned us for help, so we
sent a car to bring him home.“ Mrs Brown was very surprised, but she thanked
the policemen and they left. “But, Grandfather,” she then said, “you have
been to that park nearly every day for twenty years. How did you lose your
way there?” The old man smiled, closed one eye and said, “I didn’t quite lose
my way. I just got tired and didn’t want walk home!”
Who lived with Mr and Mrs
Brown? What did he do every
morning? When did he come
home? What did he come home for? What happened one morning? At what time did it happen? What did the two policemen do? What did one of them say to Mrs
Brown? How did Mrs Brown
feel? What did she do? What did she say to her grandfather? What did the old man do? What did he say?

5) Bears
Old Mr Black loved
shooting bears, but his eyes were not good any more. Several times he nearly
shot people instead of bears, so his friends were always very careful when
they went out shooting with him. One day a young friend of his wanted to have
a joke, so he got a big piece of paper and wrote on it in very big letters ‘I
am not a bear’. Then he tied it to his back and went off. His friends saw it
and laughed a lot. But it did not save him. After a few minutes Mr Black shot
at him and knocked his hat off. The young man was frightened and angry.
“Didn’t you see this piece of paper?” he shouted to Mr Black. “Yes I did,”
said Mr Black. Then, he went nearer, looked carefully at the paper and said,
“Oh, I am very sorry. I did not see the word ‘not’.”
What did Mr Black love? What was the matter with
him? What happened several
times? What did his friends do when they went out
shooting with him? What did one
of his young friends want to do one day?
What did he do? What did he
write on the piece of paper?
What did he do then? What
did his friends do? What happened
then? Did the paper save the young man? How did he feel? What did he shout? What did Mr Black do? What did he say?

4) Two glasses of beer
A man always went to the
same bar at the same time every day and asked for two glasses of beer. He
drank them and then asked for two more. One day the man behind the bar said
to him, “Why do you always ask for two glasses of beer? Why don’t you get one
big glass instead?” The man answered, “Because I do not like drinking alone.
I drink with my friend.” But a few days later the man came in and asked only
for one beer. “Oh,” said the barman, “has your friend died?” “Oh, no,” said
the man. “He is very well. This beer is for him. But I have stopped drinking
beer. My doctor doesn’t want me to drink anymore because it is dangerous for
me.”
What did the man in the
story do every day? What
did he ask for? What did he do
then? What did the man behind the bar say one day? What did the man answer? What happened a few days later? What did the man ask for this time? What did the barman ask? What did the man
answer?
