A golden envelope fell through the letter box. On the front it said, “You’ve Won!”
“Open it!” shouted Mum, Dalia and Ahmed. Dad opened it. They had won a free holiday.
“I hope it’s to the seaside,” said Dalia. “I can swim and make sand castle.”
“No, I hope it’s a camping holiday,” said Dad. “I can sleep in a tent and get lots of fresh air.”
“No, I’d like to go on a cruise,” said Ahmed. “I can watch dolphins and eat lots of nice food.”
“Well, I’d like to go to a big city,” said Mum. “I can go shopping and go to the theatre.”
Then they started to argue. They couldn’t decide. Beach! Camping! Cruise! City!
They argued until it was dark. Then the phone rang. Dalia answered it.
“Hello this is Lucky Holidays. You’ve won a holiday to sunny Alexandria.”
“That’s where my grandma lives.”
“This is Grandma!”
“Oh Grandma, You tricked us!”
“You are all invited to spend your summer holiday with me.”
They packed their suitcases and spent two fun weeks at Grandma’s.
Ahmed got his nice food, Dad got his fresh air, Mum went shopping and Dalia swam in the sea.
Everyone was happy.

The Lucky Seed

A long time ago, a farmer took a big bag of seeds to sell at the market.
Suddenly, his cart’s wheel hit a big stone. Bump! One of the seeds fell out of the bag, and onto the hot, dry ground.
“I’m scared,” said the seed. “I need to be safe under the soil.” Just then a buffalo walked on the seed and pushed it into the ground.
“I’m thirsty,” said the seed. “I need some water to help me grow.” Just then it started to rain.
The next morning the seed had a little green shoot. All day it sat in the sun and grew taller and taller.
The next day, it has its first leaf. This helped it to catch sunlight and grow.
That evening a hungry bird tried to eat it. But the seed had roots to help it stay in the ground.
Many years of sunshine and rain passed. The seed became a plant, and then the plant became a tree.
Today if you visit the countryside you can see the tree. It is big and strong and now makes seeds of its own.

1. How come that the seed fell from the farmer’s cart?
………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………….…
2. Why the seed was scared when it fell off of the cart?

Read this passage.
‘What are you doing?’ my landlord asked.
‘I’m leaving, Mr. Han,’ I answered.
‘Why are you leaving?’ she asked. ‘You have been here only a week.’
‘A week too long, Mr. Han,’ I said. ‘There are too many rules in this boarding house. My old friends never come to visit me. Dinner is always at six o’clock, so I frequently went to bed hungry. You don’t like noise, so I rarely listen to the radio. The fan doesn’t work, so I always feel hot. This is a terrible place for a boy like me. Goodbye, Sir.’

Note the position of the words in italics in these sentences:
I frequently go to bed hungry.
I rarely listen to the radio.
I always feel hot.
I never get up early on Sundays.
I sometimes stay in bed until lunch time.

pre-verb adverbs (frequency) are:
often, seldom, rarely, ever, never, always, sometimes, generally, usually, just, almost, nearly, quite, hardly, scarcely.

Usually, we use those adverbs to answer the question ‘How often?’.
So, where should we put them in a sentence?
We place them right before the verb of the sentence.

(Nowadays, ‘never’ is commonly used merely as a reinforced form of ‘not’. Ex: you need never call me as sir, just call me my name.)

Soewignyo
My aunt, Titik have just moved to a house in Kratonan Street. Yesterday a beggar knocked at her door. He asked her for a meal and a glass of coffee. In return for this, the beggar stood on his head and sang songs. She gave him a meal. He ate the food and drank the coffee. Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and started to sing a song, while he stood on his head. When he had finished, he went away.
She was amazed, this is the first time she met a beggar asking for meal and coffee rather than money, and most of that, he stood on his head and sang a song to say thanks.
