the dispute?
A.2.3 Recall of Reading Standards
TEACHER’S ACTIVITY PUPILS’ ACTIVITY
Once upon a time there was a precious sword. Now, this sword belonged to a great King, and for as long as anyone could remember,
the King spent all his time in his palace, enjoying his shows and parties. One day a great dispute broke out between this King and the
King of a neighboring country. It ended with both declaring war.
The sword was greatly excited at the prospect of taking part in its first real battle. It would show everyone how truly brave and
special it was, and would become renowned throughout the kingdom. On the way to the front line, the sword imagined itself the
winner of many battles. However, when they arrived, the first battle had already taken place, and the sword got to see the results of
war. What it saw had nothing in common with what the sword had imagined. No elegant shining knights, triumphant, with their
weapons gleaming in the sunlight. Instead, all the sword saw was broken weapons, and hordes of hungry and thirsty men. There was
hardly any food left. Everything was covered in dirt and shrouded in a disgusting smell. Many were half dead and scattered on the
ground, bleeding from multiple wounds.
The sword realized it liked neither wars nor battles. It decided it preferred to live in peace and spend its time taking part in
tournaments and competitions. So, on the night before what was going to be the big final battle, the sword tried to find a way to
prevent it from taking place. After a while, the sword started to vibrate. First it gave out a low buzz, but this gradually got louder,
until it became an annoying metallic noise. The swords and armor of the other soldiers asked the King's sword what it was doing. It
told them "I don't want there to be a battle tomorrow. I don't like war". One answered, "No one likes it, but what can we do?"
"Make yourself vibrate, just like I'm doing", said the King's sword. "If we make enough noise no one will sleep."
So, the weapons started vibrating, and the noise became deafening. It was so loud that it reached the enemy camp, and the weapons
there, who were equally sick of the war, joined the protest.
The next morning, when the battle should have begun, not a single soldier was ready to fight. No one had managed to get even a
wink of sleep, not even the Kings or the Generals. So, they spent the whole day catching up on sleep. During the evening they
started to wake up, and decided to put off the battle for the next day.
However, the weapons, led by the King's sword, spent the night repeating their peace song, and again no soldier could rest. The
battle had to be postponed yet again, and this carried on for the next seven days. On the evening of the seventh day, the Kings of the
two armies met to see what they could do about the situation. Both were furious from their previous dispute, but after being together
for a while they started to discuss their sleepless nights, the surprise on their soldier's faces, the confusion of day with night, and the
amusing situations all this had created. It wasn't long before both were laughing, like friends, at these little stories.
Fortunately, they forgot their old disputes and they put an end to the war, each returning to their own land with the double joy of not
having had to fight, and having regained a friend. And from then on, from time to time the Kings would meet up to talk about their
experiences as Kings. They now understood that the things which united them were much more numerous than anything that set
them apart from each other.

Noel’s Pet Bird
Noel’s pet bird was free to fly around the house. But its frequent visits were made in the kitchen much to annoyance of
their helper. It would fly straight to the table where it would pick something to eat.
One warm day, the bird was attracted to a sticky fly paper. Its bill touched the paper and got stuck. The bird raised its
foot to let itself loose, but its foot got stuck, too. Soon, both its feet were stuck tight on the fly paper. No amount of
pulling, struggling, and bird noise helped the bird in its misfortune. It flew to a brook nearby with the fly paper dangling
from its feet.
