8. WEEKEND PLANS
Christine and Margaret are friends. They are both busy because the work and study! But
on Wednesday they meet for coffee.
"What are you going to do this weekend?" asks Margaret. "Well, I have a big project to
finish for my design class. But if I can finish it by Friday, I'll do something fun as a treat,"
says Christine. "That sounds great!" replies Margaret.
"I think the ballet is coming to town. If it isn't too expensive, I'm going to buy tickets. Would
you like to come?“ "Well, I don't really like ballet very much. If you want to go to the ballet
in the evening, let's do something in the morning," says Christine. "All right. If you have the
energy, let's go swimming!" suggests Margaret.
"That sounds great! If I don't call you on Friday, send me an email at work," agrees
Christine. "And if I don't answer, call me again. And if I don't pick up…
oh, let's just make
plans now! I'm too busy to plan later!"

10. THE CAT & MOUSE
Once upon a time the cat bit the mouse’s tail off. “Give me back my tail,” said the mouse. And the cat said, “Well, I would give you back
your tail if you fetched me some milk. But that’s impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”
The mouse, however, went to the cow. “The cat will only give me back my tail if I fetch her some milk.”
And the cow said, “Well, I would give you milk if you got me some hay. But that’s impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”
The mouse, however, went to the farmer. “The cat will only give me back my tail if the cow gives me some milk. And the cow will only
give me milk if I get her some hay.”
And the farmer said, “Well, I would give you hay if you brought me some meat. But that’s impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”
The mouse, however, went to the butcher. “The cat will only give me back my tail if the cow gives me milk. And the cow will only give
me milk if she gets some hay. And the farmer will only give me hay if I get him some meat.”
And the butcher said, “Well, I would give you meat if you made the baker bake me a bread. But that’s impossible to do for a little mouse
like you.”
The mouse, however, went to the baker. “The cat will only give me back my tail if I fetch her some milk. And the cow will not give me
milk if I don’t get her hay. And the farmer will only give me hay if the butcher has some meat for him. And the butcher will not give me meat
if you do not bake him a bread.”
The mouse promised not to steal, and so the baker gave the mouse bread, the mouse gave the butcher bread. The butcher gave the
mouse meat, the mouse gave the farmer meat. The farmer gave the mouse hay, the mouse gave the cow hay. The cow gave the mouse
milk, the mouse gave the cat milk. And the cat gave the mouse her tail back.
11. SARAH’S MORNING
Sarah had to be at the airport for her flight at 9am, but her alarm didn’t go off and she overslept.
She got dressed very quickly, threw everything into her suitcase and ran out of the house.
When she got to the airport she realised she had forgotten her passport. So she jumped in a taxi
and returned home. She grabbed her passport from the coffee table, got in a taxi and went back to
the airport.
One mile from the airport the taxi broke down. She tried to flag down another, but they were all
taken and so she ran the rest of the way.
When she arrived at the airport, she saw that she had missed her flight. She had to pay 500
dollars for another ticket for the next flight.
While she was waiting, she went to buy a book. She was so preoccupied with her difficult
morning that she walked out of the shop without paying and was arrested by the police.
The police detained her for three hours and she missed her flight again. Sarah went home and
decided never to fly again!
