Although yesterday was sunny, today, the weather is cloudy and windy. Despite the temperature being about 7º, the wind makes you feel cold. It's a chilly day.We went to the Garden Centre this morning. It is a department store where you can buy several types of farm supplies: seeds, clothes, tools, food,... even newspapers or magazines.
During the trip, Mrs. Host told me the story of Mo and the Beggar:
One day, Mo was up on the roof of his house mending a hole in the tiles. He had nearly finished and he was pleased with his work. Suddenly, he heard a voice below call.
-Hello.
When he looked down, Mo saw an old man in dirty clothes standing below.
-What do you want? -asked Mo.
-Come down and I'll tell you - called the man.
Mo was annoyed, but he was a polite man, so he put down his tools carefully an climbed al the way down to the ground.
-What do you want? -he asked when he reached the ground.
-Could you spare a little change for an old beggar?
Mo thought for minute. Then he said:
-Come with me
He began climbing the ladder again. The old man followed him all the way to the top. When they were both sitting on the roof, Mo turned to the beggar:
-No -he said.
Find your dictionary and have a laugh!
