Then he gave us some tasks to do. I sat next to Jane, who was fat and not very pleasant — but very good at maths. I asked her to tell me the answers, but she didn`t want.

The next lesson was French. I like French. It’s nice to be able to talk to somebody in another language.

At last, it was eleven o’clock: time for break. Nell gave me a piece of cake to eat with my milk. She also gave me her Latin homework to copy. I think she likes me and she’s a nice girl.

After lunch we had a history lesson. I don’t usually like history, but I liked this lesson very much. We learned about the Battle of Hastings in 1066. We were on holiday in Hastings last summer. I said I would bring some photographs of our holiday to school the next week.

At three o’clock it was time for my favourite lesson of the week: games. We played a very exciting game of football but it ended in a draw.

The Rich Man and the Gold

There was once a very rich man. He had three cars and two houses and
many other things.

One day he said, «I am getting old. I’m going to sell everything
and buy a big piece of gold. »

He sold his houses and his cars and everything and he bought a very
big piece of gold. He dug a hole near a tree, and he put the piece of
gold into the hole. «No one will find my gold here», he said.

Every day he went back and dug up the gold. He looked at it and said,
«Good! My gold is there». Then he put the gold back into the hole
and put the earth back on top of it.

But one day there was a man behind the tree. He was a thief and he
was asleep. The rich man didn’t see the thief. He dug up the gold
and looked at it. «Good! » he said, «My gold is there». The thief
woke up and looked round the tree. «What is the man putting into the
hole? » he thought. «I’m going to find out». The rich man put
the gold back into the hole and went away. Then the thief went to the
hole and dug up the gold. «A big piece of gold! » he said. «It’s
my gold now. I am a rich man. » He ran off with the gold and never
came back. The next day the first man came back and began to dig. He
dug and he dug but he did not find the gold. «My gold is not here»,
he said. «I am not a rich man now. I have no gold! » and he began
to cry. Then he went home and told one of his friends. His friend
said, «Don’t cry. Here is a big stone. Take it and put it in the
hole. Then every day you can go and dig it up and look at it». A
piece of gold in a hole is no better than a stone.

much taller than she was.

Catherine was very young, but
she was a clever girl. She did not cry. There was a policeman in the
middle of the street near the shop. Catherine waited at the side of
the road for a minute, and then the policeman stopped the cars and
the buses. Catherine went to him and said, «Good morning. Have you
seen any ladies in this street this morning? »

«Yes, I have», the policeman
said. «A lot of ladies have passed me this morning».
