Mr. Day was a teacher at a school in a big city in the north of England. He
usually went to France or Germany for a few weeks during his summer holidays,
and he spoke French and German quite well.
But one year Mr. Day said to one of his friends, ‘I’m going to have a holiday
in Athens. But I don’t speak Greek, so I’ll go to evening classes and have Greek
lessons for a month before I go.’
He studied very hard for a month, and then his holidays began and he went
to Greece.
When he came back a few weeks later, his friend said to him, ‘Did you have
any trouble with your Greek when you were in Athens, Dick?’
‘No, I didn’t have any trouble with it,’ answered Mr. Day. ‘But the Greeks
did!’

Mr. Pearce liked shooting ducks very much. Whenever he had a free day, he
went out shooting with his friends.
But one summer he said to himself, ‘I’ve never been to the mountains. My
holidays are going to begin soon, so I’m going to go to the mountains and shoot
deer. They’re more interesting than ducks, I think.’
So when his holidays began, Mr. Pearce went to the station, bought his ticket
and was soon in the mountains.
He got out at a small station and walked through fields and forests for a few
kilometres. Then he saw a farmer in a field. ‘Good morning,’ Mr. Pearce said to
him. ‘Are there any deer here?’
‘Well,’ answered the farmer slowly, ‘there was one last year, but all the
gentlemen from the town came and shot at it, and it’s gone somewhere else now,
I think.’
Word outside the 1000: deer

Rose left school when she was seventeen years old and went to a college for a
year to learn to type. She passed her examinations quite well and then went to
look for work. She was still living with her parents.
A lot of people were looking for typists at that time, so it was not difficult to
find interesting work. Rose went to several offices, and then chose one of them.
It was near her parents’ house. She thought, ‘I’ll walk there every morning. I
won’t need to go by bus.’
She went to the office again and said to the manager, ‘I want to work here,
but what will you pay me?’
‘We’ll pay you £27 now,’ the manager answered, ‘and £30 after three
months.’
Rose thought for a few seconds before she answered. Then she said, ‘All
right, then I’ll start in three months’ time.’

Betty Brown was five years old, and her mother wanted her to begin going to
school, because she wanted to start working in an office again.
A month before the beginning of the school year Mrs. Brown began telling
Betty about school. ‘It’s very nice,’ she said. ‘You’ll play games and paint pictures
and sing songs.’
Mrs. Brown began doing these things with Betty. Betty liked the games and
the painting and the singing very much, but she always wanted to be near her
mother, so Mrs. Brown was rather afraid and thought, ‘What will she do when I
leave her at school?’
But on the first day at school Betty was very good. She did not cry, and she
was happy.
On the second morning Mrs. Brown said, ‘Put your clothes on, Betty. I’m
going to take you to school in half an hour’s time.’
‘School?’ Betty said. ‘But I’ve been to school!’

leave you some food for your lunch. Is that all right?’
‘Oh, yes,’ her husband answered, that’s quite all right. What are you going to
leave for my lunch?’
‘This tin of fish,’ Mrs. Perry said. ‘And there are some cold, boiled potatoes
and some beans here, too.’
‘Good,’ Mr. Perry answered. I’ll have a good lunch.’

One day a man went to see his doctor and said to him, ‘I’ve swallowed a horse,
doctor, and I feel very ill.’
The doctor thought for a few seconds and then said, ‘All right, Mr. Lloyd, I’ll
help you. Please lie down on this bed.’
The doctor’s nurse gave the man an injection, the man went to sleep, and the
doctor went out quickly to look for a horse in the town.
After half an hour he found one, borrowed it and took it into his office, so
when Mr. Lloyd woke up, it was there in front of him.
‘Here’s the horse, Mr. Lloyd,’ the doctor said. ‘I’ve taken it out of your
stomach, and it won’t give you any more trouble now.’
At first Mr. Lloyd was happy, but then he looked at the horse again and said,
‘But, doctor, my horse was white, and this one’s brown!’
