Lesson 7
Text A
After a Heavy Snowstorm
One night there was a heavy snowstorm, and in the morning Mr.
Smith's garden was full of deep snow. Mr. Smith wanted to take his car out, so
he paid a man to clean the path from his garage to his gate. He said to this
man, "Don't throw any snow on that side, because it will damage the bushes
in my garden; and don't throw any snow into the street, or the police will be
angry. " Then Mr. Smith went out.
When he came back, the path was clean and the snow from it
was not on the bushes, or the fence, or the street. Mr. Smith was very
pleased-until he opened the garage to get his car out! The garage was full to
the top with all the snow from the path, and his car was somewhere under it all!

A Better Mailman !
I worked as a mailman for a short time. However, I am afraid
of dogs and I had a lot of trouble. One day I tried to deliver some letters to a
big house. I started to open the gate and all of a sudden a huge dog ran toward
me. It growled and barked at me , so I threw the letters over the fence. The dog
picked them up and carried them into the house. The dog was a better mailman
than I was!
