THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER.
Once upon a time there was a grasshopper, who played the violin. Like all grasshoppers, he loved the summer. He did not work at all but when the sun was hot, he played his violin and sang and danced all day. An ant lived near the grasshopper. She was very different from her neighbour. Did she like music and singing and dancing? No, she did not. The ant worked hard. She worked from morning until night. She picked up food and carried it to her house in the anthill. The grasshopper laughed at her. «You have been working hard for days and days. Why don’t you sing and dance like me?» he said. «The sun is hot. The sky is blue. Don’t work so hard». But the ant said, «After summer comes autumn, and after autumn comes winter. I must work. You must work». The grasshopper did not listen to the ant. He laughed and started to sing and play and dance again. The hot summer passed slowly and then it was autumn. The weather was colder but the grasshopper still played his violin and sang and danced. The winter arrived. The grasshopper stopped playing his violin. It began to snow. The grasshopper was cold and he was very hungry, too. Then he remembered the ant and all the food in the anthill. He walked through the snow. He arrived at the ant’s house and knocked on the door. «Please, please,» said the grasshopper, «can I come in? I am so cold and hungry. I have nothing to eat. » But the ant said, «I worked hard through the summer. You didn’t. You played your violin and sang and danced. You laughed at me in the summer. Well, now it is winter. Tell me, who is laughing now? » She closed her door and the grasshopper walked slowly away through the snow to look for a kinder friend.

SPORTS DAY
Most schools in England have a sports day once a year, in the late spring or the summer. As my school is in London, in a place with no playing-field, we go to a special running track which belongs to the London County Council. The sports day is looked forward to by the whole school. On that day we have no lessons. We look at the sky every day for a week beforehand, hoping that it will be fine, even if we cannot have a real sunny day, at least we do not want any rain. We go to school on the day itself, the sky is blue with no clouds, but we take a mackintosh with us in case, we also take a packed lunch. Outside the school is a fleet of buses to take us to the field. It is half an hour’s ride. When we arrive, all the competitors change into their sports clothes, shorts or vests, and the spectators find places on the sloping banks round the track, ready to cheer up their teams. The running track is circular and inside it there are places for the high jump, the long jump, throwing the discus and the hurdles races. All these events take place at the same time as the running, so there is plenty to watch. There is a large blackboard on which the results are chalked up for all to see, and as the day goes on it is possible to see which team is ahead or has the best chance of winning. Our school is divided into six teams, or, as we call them «houses», each «house» has a different colour and the competitors wear the colour of their «house». The «house» with the most points at the end of the day wins a trophy, either a shield or a cup. There are many races, a hundred yards is the shortest. A yard is a little less than a metre. The other distances are 220 yards and 440 yards. This is a quarter of a mile.

A TYPICAL YEAR IN BRITAIN
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
The school year starts at the beginning of September. There are three terms in the school year:
The autumn term- from September to Christmas;
The spring term- from New Year to Easter;
The summer term - from Easter to the middle of July.
There are three main holidays: the Christmas holidays- two weeks, the Easter holidays- two weeks, the summer holidays- six weeks. There’s also a one-week holiday in the middle of each term. We call these «half-term» holidays .
BIRTHDAYS
On your birthday you get cards and presents from members of your family and your friends. Some people have a birthday party for their friends. There’s usually a birthday cake with one candle for each year of your age. The person with the birthday blows out the candles and makes a wish. You can have a party in your own home, but nowadays a lot of people have their party in a restaurant. Some older children don’t have a party. They take some of their friends to the cinema, to a bowling alley or somewhere like that. Birthdays are very important in Britain. We don’t have «name days».
FESTIVALS
Christmas is the biggest festival of the year. Families usually come together to celebrate it. People put up decorations and decorate a Christmas tree. On Christmas Day (25 December) there is a traditional meal of turkey with vegetables, followed by Christmas pudding. On Boxing Day (26 December) they open their Christmas presents. At New Year a lot of people have a party to «see the New Year in». At midnight they join hands and sing «Auld Land Syne». In Scotland, New Year is more important festival than Christmas. We also celebrate Easter in Britain, but it’s not a very important festival for most people. People give children chocolate Easter eggs, and some go to church.

THE STORY OF ROBINSON CRUSOE
Robinson Crusoe was travelling on a big sailing ship. There was a terrible storm. He was the only person who did not drown. Robinson found some useful things on the ship: some food and some clothes, some carpenter’s tools and two guns. Robinson reached an island with his things. The island was beautiful but no one lived there. Robinson was alone. He watched as the ship sank. Robinson cut down trees and built a small house. He found animals and fruit to eat.

ANIMALS IN DANGER
These animals are extinct. They lived in the old days, but there are no mammoths, no dodos and no quaggas today. Hunters killed them all. Many animals today are in danger. We must help them or they are going to be extinct, too. Some animals are in danger because people hunt them. People kill wild cats, snakes and crocodiles because they want their skins. Some animals are in danger because people catch them and sell them for pets. Some animals are in danger because people are cutting down trees and destroying their homes. Some countries now have National Parks. Scientists sometimes move animals to these parks. The animals are safe, because people cannot cut down the trees or kill the animals. In New Zealand scientists saved the black robin. There were only four male black robins and one female in the world. The female’s mane was «Old Blue». When she laid eggs, the scientists gave the eggs to other birds. These birds looked after the baby robins. «Old Blue» saw her empty nest and she laid more eggs.

THE WIZARD OF OZ
Once there was a little girl named Dorothy, who lived in Kansas. One day, she was playing with her dog Toto, when suddenly a strong wind storm came and carried them away to an unknown land. Dorothy and Toto were afraid. They wanted to go home.
As they wandered around in this strange place, Dorothy saw a scarecrow. The scarecrow was crying. «Why are you crying?» asked Dorothy. «I have no brain», the scarecrow answered. «You look sad, too, little girl. What is wrong?» «I want to go home», said Dorothy. «Let’s go and see the Wizard of Oz», said the scarecrow. «He is a great wizard. He can give me a brain and he can help you go home».
They set out to find the Wizard of Oz. Soon they came upon a lion, who was also crying. Dorothy asked him why. «I am a coward», he answered. «Lions are supposed to be brave, but I am afraid. People laugh at me». «Come with us», said Dorothy. «The Wizard can give you courage».
When the road turned, they came upon a surprising sight; a man made of tin. The tin man told them that he was sad because he had no heart, and he joined them on their search for the wizard. After a lot of adventures, they found the Wizard of Oz. He told them that the scarecrowc was clever enough to think of looking for the wizard and he already had a brain. The tin man could feel so sad because he has a heart to feel with. The Wizard told the lion that his protection of his friends made him a brave lion.

Cannot you help them go home to Kansas?» «Well, I can try», said the Wizard. «Dorothy, close your eyes. Now say to yourself three times, «There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.» Dorothy closed her eyes and held her dog tight. She said, «There’s no place like home», three times.

THREE LITTLE PIGS
Mother Pig lived in a little hut. She had three baby pigs. When they grew up, Mother Pig said, «This hut is too small for us now. You must all go away. You must each build a new house». The first little pig went away from home. He built a house of straw. The first little pig was very happy. Soon bad old Mr. Wolf came along. He came up to the first little pig’s house and said, «Little pig, little pig. Open the door and let me in». «Oh, no!» said the first little pig. «Go away, Mr. Wolf. I will not open the door. I will not let you in». Mr. Wolf said, «Little pig, little pig, open the door and let me in. Or I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down». The first little pig did not open the door. He did not let the wolf in. So the wolf huffed, and he puffed, and he blew the house down. The first little pig ran away.
Then the second little pig left home. He built a house of wood. The second little pig was very happy. Soon bad old Mr. Wolf came along. He came up to the second little pig’s house and said, «Little pig, little pig! Open the door and let me in». «Oh, no! Go away, Mr. Wolf. I will not open the door. I will not let you in», said the second pig. Mr. Wolf said «Little pig, little pig, open the door and let me in. Or I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down». The second pig did not open the door. He did not let the wolf in. So the wolf huffed, and he puffed, and he blew the house down. The second little pig ran away.
Then the third little pig went away from home. He built a house of bricks. The third little pig was very happy. Soon bad old Mr. Wolf came along. He came up to the third little pig’s house and said, «Little pig, little pig! Open the door and let me in». «Oh, no! Go away, you bad old Mr. Wolf. I will not let you in.», said the third little pig. Mr. Wolf said, «Little pig, little pig! Open the door and let me in. Or I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down». The third little pig did not open the door. He did not let the wolf in. He made a big fire in the fireplace. He put on the fire a big pan full of oil. Mr. Wolf huffed and he puffed. But he could not blow the brick house down.

THE FOX AND THE CRANE
Once upon a time, a fox and a crane had begun to be friends. One day, the fox invited the crane to dinner. She made hot porridge for dinner and put it in a flat soup – dish. The crane could not eat and the fox ate the porridge herself.
The crane was angry and decided to teach the fox a lesson. So he invited the fox to dinner too. The fox went to the crane’s house the next day. The crane poured vegetable soup into a narrow jug and invited the fox to eat it. The fox tried and tried, but she could not find a way to get into the jug. The crane ate all the soup himself.
And this is why the fox and the crane are no longer friends.

«Thank you», said the City Mouse. She took off her hat and coat and helped to put the plates on the table. When dinner was ready, the City Mouse looked at the corn and said, «What a funny dinner! Come to my house. Every day I have a piece of cheese for my dinner».

AN OLD TALE
Once a little woman baked cakes in her oven. She had a black dress and a small white apron on. A red cap was on her head. A poor old man came to her kitchen door and said, «I am hungry, good woman, please give me one of your cakes». The old woman said, «These cakes are too large for you. I will bake you a little cake». So, she made a very little cake and put it into the oven. But the cake began to grow bigger and bigger. «This cake is too large,» said the old woman. Then she made a tiny cake and put it into the oven. But it began to grow bigger too. «I will not give you this cake,» said the old woman, «it is too large for you.» Then she made a tiny cake again and put it into her oven. But this cake began to grow bigger and bigger. «I don’t want to give you any cake,» said the old woman. «I will eat them but not you. Go away». So the old poor man went away hungry.
Now comes the strangest part of this story. As the old woman began to eat her cakes she began to grow smaller and smaller. Her nose became a sharp bill. She looked at her arms. And what did she see? She saw black wings. She looked at her black dress and white apron. But they were all feathers. Now she was a bird.
You can see this little bird. She hops up and down the trees and looks for worms. You will know her when you see her. People say that the old woman who did not want to give one tiny cake to a poor old man is now a woodpecker.
