Macmillan Readers - The House on The Hill by Elizabeth LairdEka Kurnia
Paul and Maria talked for a long time. The sun went down. It was nearly dark.
'I must go home,' said Maria.
'Where do you live?' asked Paul.
'In the big white house on the hill,' said Maria. 'Where do you live?'
'In the little brown house near the market,' said Paul.
They laughed. But Paul was sad. The house on the hill was big and important. Maria was rich, and he was poor. And Paul was in love.

CH1:Rowdy Gives Me Advice About Love
Have you ever watched a beautiful woman play volleyball?
Yesterday, during a game, Penelope was serving the ball and I watched
her like she was a work of art.
She was wearing a white shirt and white shorts, and I could see the
outlines of her white bra and white panties.
Her skin was pale white. Milky white. Cloud white.
So she was all white on white on white, like the most perfect kind of
vanilla dessert cake you've ever seen.
I wanted to be her chocolate topping.
She was serving against the mean girls from Davenport Lady Gorillas.
Yeah, you read that correctly. They willingly called themselves the Lady
Gorillas. And they played like superstrong primates, too. Penelope and
her teammates were getting killed. The score was like 12 to 0 in the first
set.
But I didn't care.
I just wanted to watch the sweaty Penelope sweat her perfect sweat on
that perfectly sweaty day.
She stood at the service line, bounced the volleyball a few lines to get
her rhythm, then tossed it into the air above her head.
She tracked the ball with her blue eyes. Just watched it intensely. Like
that volleyball mattered more than anything he in the world. I got jealous
of that ball. I wished I were that ball. As the ball floated in the air,
Penelope twisted her hips id back and swung her right arm
back over her shoulder, coiling like a really pretty snake. Her leg
muscles were stretched and taut. I almost fainted when she served. Using
all of that twisting id flexing and concentration,
she smashed the ball and aced le Lady Gorillas.
And then Penelope clenched a fist and shouted, "Yes!"
Absolutely gorgeous.
Even though I didn't think I'd ever hear back, I wanted to know what to
do with my
feelings, so I walked over to the computer lab and e-mailed Rowdy. He's
had the same address for five years.
"Hey, Rowdy," I wrote. "I'm in love with a white girl. What should I
do?"
A few minutes later, Rowdy wrote back.
"Hey, Asshole," Rowdy wrote back. "I'm sick of Indian guys who treat
white women like
bowling trophies. Get a life."
Well, that didn't do me any good. So I asked Gordy what I should do
about Penelope. "I'm an Indian boy," I said. "How can I get a white girl
to love me?"
"Let me do some research on that," Gordy said.
A few days later, he gave me a brief report.
"Hey, Arnold," he said. "I looked up 'in love with a white girl' on Google
and found an
article about that white girl named Cynthia who disappeared in Mexico
last summer. You remember how her face was all over the papers and
everybody said it was such a sad thing?"
"I kinda remember," I said.
"Well, this article said that over two hundred Mexican girls have
disappeared in the last three years in that same part of the country. And
nobody says much about that. And that's racist.
The guy who wrote the article says people care more about beautiful
white girls than they do about everybody else on the p.

1. Adventures Of Orange World
Foreword
This book is hard to get used to, so I will show you some things that
are not easy to get by yourself.
Each chapter will have a different main charecter eg. (phylis) after the
number of the chapter.
Don’t try to understand this book , it’s just not going to happen.
There are characters with the same name a lot of the time, I am
sorry, I try quite hard to explain which of the charecters is being
mentioned in the story, but most of the time I fail, adding to the effect
of this book.
Most importantly this book : Advetures of orange world , is the
colour orange NOT the fruit.
1
This story begins on a train. Five people are on that train, these
people are called : Phylis, Maynard, Brain, Laeve and Le Dans.
You see these five people are very bad at chosing trains that have
more or less then five people on them so they are used to just looking
around and doing nothing. All of them have their own carriage except
for Laeve and Phylis share a carriage. The chair Le Dans is sitting on
2. is very uncomfortable but he is not going to get up and change the
seat he is sitiing on because of a knee injury. Phylis is a man, Born a
man , Born a Phylis, but for no reason whatsoever he is pregnant.
Phylis is sitting beside a stranger, to him, Laeve… he has the whole
train but he is sitting beside Laeve. Phylis is funny that way. Just last
week he was at a carnival and he dropped his chips on the floor.
Laeve wants Phylis to move but wont say anything. Laeve doesn’t
like the smell of Phylis’ uncle one bit. (phylis’ uncle is a musician)
Maynard, however has no uncle or sisters. Oh how maynard wishes
he could set up a mustard company that goes well and makes a good
profit, oh how he wishes his best friend was good at checkers. But
little did Maynard know his wish will come true. Maynard will set up a
mustard company that goes well and makes a good profit, but that is
later in the story. Brain doesn’t like mustard. Brain has arthritus.
So now you know everyone on the train why don’t you put down the
book, take a break and buy a chicken roll with lettuce and then…
Start reading the book again.

Phylis
Phylis had a baby just a second ago. It was a girl. He named his baby
Laeve, because He was sitting beside Laeve on the train,
Anyway…… Phylis did not like his baby Laeve, he thought that Laeve
was a crap name so he decided to give Laeve (His baby) away to a
fish merchant. The train stopped. “You might want to change that
baby’s nappy”said Laeve (Pronounced Lay-v) walking out of the train.
“She looks like she could lay an egg.” Laeve laughed (Not The Baby)
and left the train. Phylis didn’t laugh, Phylis didn’t get that joke, and to
be honest neither did I. Just then a fish merchant entered the train as
the train started to move again. Phylis swapped her baby for 2 cod
fish and a ds game. “Tis’ a fine salmon” The merchant said.
3. Phylis decided to go to the carriage next to his. While he was walking
there he dropped his notebook.
In the next carriage there was only one person a woman. A mangy
cat sitting on the woman’s head. As Phylis walked around to the
woman he realized it was a man. A stupid annoying man. He sat
across from the him so he was facing the man. “There is a cat on
your head.”Phylis pointed out “A mangy cat” The man, who was
called Le Dans looked at Phylis, Then looked up. “mmm I can’t see
it.” Then Phylis told Le Dans something out of the blue. Phylis told Le
Dans his date of birth. “Oh you mean this cat on my head?”Le Dans
asked “Yes that’s the one I was thinking about, yes.” Phylis replied.
“Mmmm yeah I see it know... ... ...”
Le Dans said patting his head. “Are you going to do something about
it then?” Phylis asked, “Mmmm well I do have a knee injury, and I’m
very annoying and stupid so... ... ... no.”About 24 seconds after Le
Dans said that Phylis realized she had left the stove on at home and
she probably should go back and switch it off.
****************
Phylis had just reached his house in time to see the last flames die
out.
Phylis’ house just burned down.
Everything Phylis owned he kept in his house.
He didn’t believe in storage or banks he kept it all in a safe in his
house.
A safe made out of newspaper and wood.
A safe he filled with all his most precious items, all his money and
most importantly 4 large candles, the roof of the safe was very low.
That was his own fault for insisting on making a safe out of
newspaper and wood. But it was lucky he blew out the candles before
he left, it must have been the stove he left on the burnt his house
down...
So he thought, but the truth was the local arsonist had burnt his
house down. At that moment a horse carriage went past him.
All his stuff had been burnt down and still people were happy enough
to just go around in horse carriages, cruel. Just cruel. Then it hit him
wasn’t he number 12 not 21. Silly Phylis got the numbers mixed up.
After he walked over to his house, he was relieved to see it still
standing. He went in putting the keys in the robbers hand before
closing the door. The house smelt of dog,kites,vegans and flutes yep
4. it was his house alright. He went to the kitchen and opened the back
door waiting for his dog to come racing in to greet him... but then he
realized he sold his dog for some chewing gum. He drank some juice.
Slept. Had a shower. Had another shower. Had another shower and
then bought a dictionary online. While he was searching amazon for a
cool new dictionary he found another cool book called “How to be a
married man in 48 minutes” He bought that aswell as a cool new
dictionary. “Oh no.. .. .. .. .. .. my job interview!!!” he said to himself.
You see it turns out Phylis was on the way to a job interview, when he
was on the train and, seeing he came home, had no way of getting
there in time. He was training to be CD cover creating machine
maker, until he found out there is no such thing. So he was going to a
job interview to see if he would get the part of a ‘Broken tap fixer’in
the orange palace. In Orange World. If he didn’t get this job... He
would be spiced alive. He was at the street, maybe a taxi could get
him there in time. He decided against taking a chance and took the
passenger bee. It was always faster than a taxi.
There were a few waiting around he took the first he saw.
While his bee was buzzing it’s way to the job interview he thought
about his friend’s sister’s tennis coach. He was wondering why he
was thinking about that, than he realized it was because the tennis
coach was sitting across from him.
“Oh hi…” Phylis started. “You are my friends sisters tennis coach,” I
pointed out. The man just stared blankly ahead. “Uh... Hello?” Phylis
tried again. But still he looked right ahead. The man sitting next to
Phylis was definitely called Maynard. He spoke. “That mans name is
Ali-Ali.” Maynard said. “But why is he not talking back to me when I
ask him a question?” Phylis asked. “Who said I’m not answering?”
said Ali-Ali. It was pretty strange. Phylis gave Ali-Ali his number and
got off the passenger bee. Great! He was there on time. He looked
around so this was Orange World. Everyone was always talking
about Orange World. All the great adventures people had when they
went to Orange World. The Adventures Of Orange World. Phylis
wondered if he would have an Adventure Of Orange World. Little
did he know this was his Adventure Of Orange World. He entered
the palace. This was Orange Palace the one and only. Wow. Phylis
thought. What an honour. He was greeted immediately. “My name is
Ohylis pronounced “Oh-Lis” I will do your job interview.” They headed
to a private room. “Oh and by the way,” Started Ohylis, “Your uncle…
5. you know him?” “Yeah sure everyone knows Fritzy!” Phylis spat on
the carpet. “Good old Fritzy don’t know nothin’ that aint’ said
by someone who aint’ sayin’ nothin’.” Phylis spat again. “Good ol’
Fritzy… He don’t have nothin’ that aint’ made by someone who a-“
“Yes that’s him,” Ohylis cut off Phylis. “Well I thought I might tell you
Fritzy’s Second Wife’s Aunty’s Cousin is married to my grandfather’s
second cousin, I thought I’d let you know that when I was born Fritzy
was there to give me my name, seeing my parents were too busy
running a company. Anyway Fritzy wanted to name me Phylis you
see but at the time could not write p’s correctly so ended up naming
me Ohylis, I was a failure. The wannabe Phylis but not quite the real
deal. I was just Ohylis. So I remember Fritzy learned how to write P’s.
It was too late for me, but for you Phylis you had just been born. You
had no name because you parents were too busy running a
company.” “Devon Rubbergreen and Susan Greenrubber’s pool chalk
company.” Phylis remembered. “That’s it,” Ohylis began again, “So
Fritzy came along and did to you what he couldn’t for you. Give you a
real name. Ohylis isn’t a name, but Phylis…-“ “Don’t think you are so
lucky, I mean Phylis is a girls name so, it’s not as good as you think it
is.” “Stop talking, save it for the interview.” Ohylis dragged Phylis into
the interviewing room. There were 4 people sitting at a desk waiting
for Phylis. “ Good Luck “ said Ohylis , then he dissapeared and all
that was left were 18 kitchen knives. “Go!” Shouted one of the
inteviewers. Interviewer 1 started: “Okay welcome to Orange Palace,
la-la-la and why do you feel you should get the job as a broken tap
fixer?” “Well,” Started Phylis, “I can fix taps and I love honey and-“
Interviewer 3 butted in “How can a towel break?” A trick question but
could Phylis deal with it? “Bang!” Shouted Phylis. Everyone stared at
him. “Bang, It just…. Bang!” A Bad start. “Moving on” Started
Interviewer 2, “If you can tell us, Phylis, what letter comes after U in
the latin alphabet you get the job.” Phylis didn’t even pause to think.
“That’s V!” He said. Everyone paused. “Do you worship The Ultimate
V?” Asked Interviewer 1. “And are you an egg?” Asked Interviwer 3.
“Yes and No.” replied Phylis. Interviewer 2 stood up and walked over
to Phylis. He took a sticker out and gave it to Phylis. On the sticker it
read clearly ‘You got the job, now make me something out of clay’
“Wow thanks!” Phylis said, “But do I have to make something out of
clay?” “No” said interviewer 4 “I made that sticker for a potter, but
then he changed his profession, and because he is more important
6. than you I went through the bother of making a brand new one for
him, and I didn’t lift a finger for you.”
