Lesson 27

A wet night

Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in

the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they

cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry

and the food smelled good. After a wonderful meal, they

told stories and sang songs by the campfire. But some

time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so

they put out the fire and crept into their tent. Their

sleeping bags were warm and comfortable, so they all

slept soundly. In the middle of the night, two boys

woke up and began shouting. The tent was full of water!

They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and hurried

outside. It was raining heavily and they found that a

stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its

way across the field and then flowed right under their

tent!

Sometimes, the reason for my slow and weird intonation is that my mouth was so tired after one hour and half practice.

Thanks for listening.
