My Naughty Little Sister at the Birthday Party

(After Dorothy Edwards)

There was a little boy who lived in our street. His name was Tom. My little sister liked to play with him. So they often played in our yard and in our garden. 

But Tom was a naughty little boy and my sister was a naughty little girl. They walked all over the flowers and picked green apples and broke their toys and broke my toys. One day they washed my doll in dirty water and the next day they put Tom’s Teddy Bear in the middle of the flower-bed.

One day Tom came to our house with a letter for my sister. He said to Nancy: “This is a letter for you from my mother. Please come to my birthday party. We shall have tea and a big birthday cake”.

“I like birthday cakes”, said my little sister. She put on her best dress and her white socks and white shoes.

“Don’t forget to say ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you,’ ” said my mother.

When my little sister came to the birthday party, she said to Tom’s mother: “How do you do? I want some birthday cake.”

Tom’s mother laughed and said: “Soon all the children will come, and then you can have the birthday cake.”

Then the other children came and they all played in the garden. They played hide-and-seek. They sang songs and danced. But my little sister did not want to play. She did not want to dance and she did not want to play.

“I can show you the birthday cake,” she said. 

So they went to the dining room, there on the table they saw a beautiful birthday cake with chocolate roses on it.

“Oh, I like chocolate roses very much”, said my naughty little sister.

“I can give you a little rose,” said Tom. He gave my sister one little rose, and she ate it up. Then he took one rose and ate it up. My sister ate three roses, and Tom ate three roses. They took the roses with their hands, and there was chocolate on their hands and on their faces. Then they went into the garden to play with other children.

When Tom’s mother saw them, she did not ask any questions. She went to the dining-room and looked at the birthday cake. She was very angry.

Tom’s mother told Tom to go to bed. And she told my sister to go home.

My sister is not a little girl now, but she does not like chocolate roses even today.

The Policeman and the Thief

In a small town far away, a man stole some money from a house.  The police began to look for the thief, and they found him in two days.  They brought him to the police station and found some of the money in his coat.

There was a new policeman at the police station, and they wanted to gibe him some work.  "Take this thief to the city", said one of them.  "You must go there by train, and it goes very soon.  Don't be late".

The policeman and the thief set out along the road to the station.  On their way they came to a shop.  In this shop bread was sold.

"We have no food and we must eat something in the train," said the thief.  "It's a long way to the city and it will take a long time.  I'll go into this shop and buy some bread.   Then you and I can eat it in the train.  Wait here for me."  The policeman was glad.  "I'll have some food in the train," he thought.  "Be quick," he said to the thief.  "We haven't much time."

The thief went into the shop, and the policeman waited in the street for a long time.  But then he began to think about the train, and at last he went into the shop.

"Where's that man who came in here to buy some bread?" asked the policeman.

"Oh, he went out of the back door", said the shopkeeper.

The policeman ran out of the back door, but he could not se the thief.  He ran down the road, but he could not find him.  So he had to go back to the police station and tell the others about it.  They were very angry with him and he was very unhappy.

All the police of the town began to look for the thief again, and they soon caught him.  They brought him back to the police station and called the same policeman.

"Now," said one of them angrily, "take him to the city, and don't lose him again!"

The policeman and the thief set out again along the same road to the station, and they came to the same shop.

"Wait here," said the thief.  "I want to go into that shop and buy some bread for our journey."

"Oh, no," said the policeman.  "You did that before, and you ran away.  This time, I'll go into the shop and buy the bread, and you must wait here for me."
