I'm afraid that my money brings death with it.” ‘I didn’t understand what he meant, and nothing happened for a few weeks, so1I did not feel so worried. But my uncle was very afraid. He stayed in his room most of the time, and drank mote than before, He always locked all the doors carefully: Then one night he drank very heavily and ran wildly ‘out of the house, and in the morning we found him dead in a rivet, The police said he killed himself, but I knew he was aftaid to die, so I didn’t think that was true.” Holmes stopped the young man for a minute. “Tell me,’ he said. ‘When did your uncle get the leteer from India, and when did he die?” “The letter atrived on 10ch March 1883, and he died seven, weeks later,’ answered John Openshaw: ‘Thank you. Please go on,’ said Holmes. ‘Mter my uncle's death, my father moved into the house. Of course I asked him to look carefully at the locked room, but wwe didn’t find anything important.” 2 More Pips “Everything went well until a year lates, said John Openshaw, ‘Butone morning my father opened a letter to find five orange pips inside it. “What does chis mean, John?” he asked. His face was white, “ “Look!” I said. “There’s K.K.K. on the envelope. Those The Five Orange Pips letters were on Uncle Elias’s envelope too!” We were both shaking and afraid “Yes, and this time it says ‘Put the papers in the garden’.” « “Which papers? The papers in Uncle Elias’s box? He burnt them!” I said. «And where has this letter come from?” my father said. He looked at the envelope. “Dundee, Scotland. Well, I don’t know anything about pips or papers. I'm not going to do anything,” « “Father, you must tell the police,” I said. [remembered my uncle’s letter from India, and Iwas very worried: **No, they'll laugh at me. Let’s just forget about it,” he replied. “Thee days later my poor father went to visit an old friend who lived some miles away. But he never came back. The police said that he was walking home in the dark when he fell down a hill. He was badly hurt, and he died soon aftet. They decided it was an accident, bur didn’t agcee. I thought it was murder, and { could not forget the five orange pips and the strange letters to my uncle and my father. ‘But F've tried to forget, and I’ve lived alone in that house for nearly three years now. Then yesterday I got his.” ‘The young man showed us an envelope with K.K.K. on the ‘back, and five small orange pips. “You see?” he said. ‘It comes from East London, and it says “Put the papers in the garden”. Those are the words that ‘were in the letter to my father.” “So what did you do next?’ asked Holmes. a6 Jo pavDY| 19A9 NOK 3UAREH WI, 9 sureyds TY “UEP Xnpy Ry 94 01 Buojaq day “HUIYA | ‘eM DUO UREA B10 Vy, GURU SINR St OY, ‘PUD | ,iS9tU]0}4 ‘por poor), adpeare uopuoy ar st Aus S.aYof jwopuoT W084) UYOf o1 sdid suas sey apy cas0u Passo uy Aya 298 nok og xoKRLZ uYo[ [JP{ 02 se] SKep amp paatue pur puepors wosy sdid owos suas 94 Udy], “SPI DpPUN [PY 02 sare] 820M Wands paatuze pu ‘eipuy wos sdid ‘auios 29s Kpogowios, “sowfoy pres ,‘uossey ‘poo 439A, amsue Au ya paseofd seas | “payjdar y észox19] oy 22024, 24 uoyss drys B UO sem somIM ayy “sutod was |e 2 KOXLL, “saujory poyse gSunpdue nos joa 3ey3 s90q, “poromsue | uopuoy aseq toy} par aq: pue pueporg ur sopuncy ‘wioay puooss aya “eipur UF Kaxaysrpuog WON] 2831) aYLL, {228 NOK PI uo4y auIO9 sraN9] 2SoNp pp B1DYA ANON X{pEyaTeD 08 s300p sy Ife poy>0] pure 9x7 SjauO] v pass] 94 dys Sey, “preaze sea oy pure/Bug 02 apeg awed 24 UaY A, soyuroua pey ay asnesag Zea1IoUy anes] OF aAPY SET aU) Sty pip Aqjgy 328uRp fear UH st mMeysuadS Uyof, ‘ow o2 pres 91] NOY, 22H ayR poysrem pu SpLaUS ws souNfoH] yoHOYS, ww & ‘uyes ay pue pura axa y8iu aep aya o1 ano aUaM IFY es NOK BUrKpAI9A9 OP Td, MPYSUEdD pres SsompoRy ay ‘nos JURY, Sdig Burg anny 244, 8b “cinyazeo aq ang -aygBis ]Te 9q 11,004 aeyp amp J os ‘sisans ayp ur apdoad Jo 0] ¥ 9q LAH, saeysuady paydar “voneis oopangy woyy uren dg, ,gatuoy Bufo8 NOK 938 MOF “az0UE Aue safiuep ur aq ,uom nok ways pare Seep ypu Addey 2q [pat soquaus nox adoy | “uapreS a2 ur apisino x0q 942 and pue ‘sraded soqio ap [Jv awang afoun snoK seYE S&es YPTYAL 30229] ur and ‘og s,apoun ano ort saded spy ang “wroy Azmny nod UENLL, “uy Yum SsOUISNg paYsuly Pue LOSUIGOY perIsIA UIZL YEW. yo} SWE MOL YOLeW yo] uous Ung YOLEN “sUIeMIN pue UosUIgoy ‘umnosg ‘eldoed eosin or Said elp ques G9RL WAL YOUN, asnur nok Mou Puy, “soMJOH] YPOPI4S Pr kes 319007] Bursa s1y say ‘sroded s,apoun Au yatss Sea 3p, saaded yo aoard auang-syey ‘Jews v sn pomoys 3} weysudS, uyof pres w1002 paypo] ay UL siq puNoS | “PAL, } 348y] Jo dea ema & pur apa & usorUE] 242 pourado | toon sty apisur Peay Aut 729/ pros ay ang ‘ou sway zou atu 298 z9ysI9U pjno> 2H "UY punoze jye Av] yavap yo mopeys ax MoU pUe “woor sty pasaqua pey ypeag “umord pure uNoIE pey sea} sty pu ‘asjou asiy ayp aouys ayeae wo9q pey oy ey) MoU | XppUDHS pousine] [2g “uew Pro a4 205 4230s 325 | -daoqse sem prom aya 1[e waa Syszu oyp yo daap ay ur ‘sown dueur Ypassur 21 apeuut pey | 9sneI9q PUnos a4 moUy | “yReap Jo JONIED oy ‘so101 Jo astou yp sv48 3 “pazruBooa1 | y>rYN estou & estou ayos & apeus 9y uay.y ‘Buruaasy, ‘po siy ur aes oy pue ‘Suraour snows ‘1a4p Poors ash! | INOY Ue soy “Buryow pres 1 @>12K2 S04, ‘Pornoys pur pag ui dn ves ueUL 4p Syarerpoury ‘asyou e apeut | pue poddiys quanyp Au anq Uusaaue] ays uado 03 papa | ‘wzoos ayp ar sem peay Aww LOU ‘pomb pur 4] mojs wado a: Burysnd ponunuod | (08 oop a1p Jo Suruado ays 29s 30u pnos ay sey MoU | Kee sou 304 PIp | ang “Paq sit uF paxoUur Ajuappns ay asme99q ‘eu preoy ay uauiom aeyp ze ‘sdeysod puy “vopr aya 28 paging] 3SOWITe J j270Up SeAK | 2eyD enoUry uaAa I0U PIP 2y pue ‘Oop s1y Suruado ‘sem jay Buo.ss pue wye> Buyooy sem f XyFaTE au0W U2s9 20Op 243 StyuDdo parsers p aysiu yaysl ay UO, “porey [20M 42 ays Ajuo sem a1 Sueur oy ey 30% PIP [ ‘995 NOK “3}10m 942 Op 204 pptod {05 ‘pasopp seaspe sem ao axp ang “aXe asnayna oyp onuo jay ay8iy yo Aer uma pute Ayjryores wssiue a43 pauado J ‘woos ap apysur seas poy eee Eee eee MPO ACLTAL 241 9 Aur uy puy cAqInyores os payiom axeq weuspeM e PIO’, “episur pray kur and 02 asn{ sonnarus Su0} A118 Yoo Baruado 2p apistr pray dur andy Xmops A194 Konoys UaHLL “I]e 2 auOH “21 jo ano ares 148] ou os pue ‘paso sem sau] ay, JOOP 2yp Jo Sumado ayp yBnomyp wonue] yep Aus nd yasaty prom 4324 zon J00p sty pouado 1 ‘yBtuprun inoge 2e Spam req JO 248u Arana puy jueur plo ays 01 pury os sexi | yom rey ep Aaaag juid duu poredatd 300 axe woupeur ang pews ure rey ‘mouy | Samyuna axe NOK, "ana 40j ada ayp wosy adeoso pure weUI Plo atp |] 01 paplsap 1 Xpmops Azan “Os pur $pjo> oures9q poojg Aur ‘1 28 porjoo} | sas9uay i “azrajna B 30 049 aup ‘OK ang aped & pey op isaK i049 ‘iy seas 2 yu [ “POS sry GEM. .UIP | em Sue ur oUF AMY 22KaU RY aH “UeU pjo axp paroy J XsBue 20u sem J IF op 01 Woseas ‘ou peg [21398195 20u pjnoo J “eapr ayp Jo 3ynoWp peY | 9240 ang “peoy Aus ovat outed sag wopr axp MOY wre|dxo 10UUED | aos dou Jpo2 ued | Aquupeo pur dyzeajo wow 29g gpew aq | ue> oy og ‘001 «ey vt sBunp Auvar preoy | -uankoy ur sfunp pur pjrom siya uy sSanp ‘sana ype zeay pjno> | ~woypox sem Fampsue wey azo *Burreoy Apy “oseasip aya Jo asneoaq ‘$s9] 10u — Apap a4ous say pur 905 p[no> f gpew ure ] rey yuNyE éypear oy ‘op ang ‘stoaou Azan — ore | pur —ua9q pey ] rei on st, een eH ALL PL YL. 30d NVTIV ¥voagBookworms Club Silver And then I heard a sound. Hadn't I told you that my hearing was excellent? I knew the sound. It was the beating of the old man’s heart. It grew louder and quicker. Yes, louder and louder with every minute. The old man’s terror must have been very great. And now a new terror came to mea neighbour might hear the noise of this beating heart! The old ‘man’s time had come! T opened the lantern fully and ran into the room. He shouted once~ but only once because I pulled him to the floor and pulled the heavy bed over him, For many minutes the heart continued to beat, but then it stopped. The old man was dead. I put my hand on his heart and held ic there for many minutes. There was no life in him at all. Now his eye would not trouble me again, Perhaps you are still thinking that [ am mad. You will not, when [ tell you of the clever way I hid the body. First, I cut it into pieces. Icut off the head and the arms and the legs. I then took up three boards from the wooden floor, and hid the body underneath. Finally, I replaced the wooden boards with great care. Now no human eye — not even his - would see anything wrong. There was nothing to see — not even any blood. A bowl had caught it all - hat ha! When I finished, it was four o'clock and it was still dark, ‘There was a knock at the front door. Calmly, because I knew Thad nothing to fear, 1 opened the door. Three policemen came in. They had come because a neighbour had reported a oud shout coming from the house. I welcomed the policemen and asked them to come in. I explained that it was [who had shouted, in a dream. The old i Li } The Tell-Tale Heart man, I said, was away in the country.

I brought chairs into the room and invited them to sit down and rest 2 while, Calmly, I put my own chair on the place whece I had hidden his body. The policemen seemed happy. They could see from the way I spoke that all was well. They continued talking, but I began to get tired. My head ached, and there was a ringing noise in my ears. I wanted the men to go away, but they continued to talk. The ringing became louder and clearer. And then I realized thar the noise was mot in my ears. I became very pale, and starting talking more loudly. But the noise became louder too. What could I do? It was a low, soft sound, like the sound made by a watch when itis covered in cotton, I spoke more loudly The noise became louder too. ‘Why, oh why, didn’s the men go away? walked up and down the room. I became angry, I argued, I threw the chair onto the floor. But the noise continued to grow louder, louder than every noise I made, And the men went on talking and smiling. ‘Was it possible that they hadn’t heard the terrible noise? No! no! They heard! They knew! They were only pretending that, they hadn’t heard the noise! [was sute of this—1 Ihated their smiling faces. I felt that | must scream or die!

When he was a young man, he often played the fiddle at weddings and parties, and he loved listening zo old people telling stories of country life, Later, Hardy put many of the characters and events from these stories into his own short stoties and novels, At owenty-two, he went to London to work as an architect, and there he started writing poems, stories, and novels. His fourth novel, Far from the Madding Crowd, was very populas, and from this he earned enough ‘money to stop working and also to get married. He wrote several other successfull novels, but some readers did not like them, saying they were dark and cruel. After this, Hardy stopped writing novels and returned to poetry. For most of his life, he lived in Dorset with his first wife, Emma. Soon after she died, he married again. After his death his heart was buried in Emma’s grave, JAN MARK Jan Mack (1943-2006) was born in Hertfordshire, England. She studied art and design, and was an art reacher before she became a writer. Her frst book, Thunder and Lightnings, won the Carnegie Medal (an important prize for the best children’s book of the year). She wrote picture books, novels, plays, and television plays, and her books won several prizes. The story in this book, Too Old #0 Rock and Roll, comes from her short-story collection A Can of Worms. Readers of all ages enjoy Jan Mark’s stories. She herself said: ‘I write about children, but I don’t mind who reads the books.” Many of her stories are about friends~ making friends, losing friends, learning to live 74 About the Authors with friends. People like her books because of her deep understanding of children and teenagers, and the funny, difficult, and painful things that happen in their lives. SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. He studied medicine and worked as a doctor for eight years. He started ‘writing because he wanted to earn more money, and soon people were reading his stories in weekly magazines. In Conan Doyle's first novel, A Study in Scarlet, Sherlock Holmes appeared for the frst time ~ a stange, but very clever detective, He can find the answer to almost any problem, and likes to explain the mysteries to his slow-thinking friend, Dr. Watson. Conan Doyle preferred writing novels about history, and he soon became bored with the Sherlock Holmes character. So, in The Final Problem, he ‘killed’ him, and Holmes and his famous enemy, Moriarty fell to their deaths on a mountain. But people wanted more stories about Holmes, and Conan Doyle had to bring him back to life, in The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1902, “There are mote than fifty short stories about Sherlock Holmes, and many plays and films about the great detective. EDGAR ALLAN POE Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was born in Boston, USA. His parents died when he was young, and he went to live with the Allan family in Richmond. He spent a year at university and then two years in the army. In 1831, he moved to Baltimore to live with his aunt and his cousin ‘Virginia. For the next few years, life was difficult, He sold some stories to 75“ ‘ooqoiou UNO sos ur stONsaNb pu ssIoW nok aIIZM PUE ‘saBed asayy ut 9[ox anok mnoge pear ues nok 19 sJooqpuEH s324peay, 9 uy are *Buppyias soy adeds yar ‘siz9ys 2[oa s988iq “(ayEUr UeD NOK seBpeq, 2]o1 axe auoyp 06 28ed uo pu) soBed x48 sx0u ay Uo are s1904s 2[01 21], ny ane uy ‘are[do 20 aeadar 01 3doad yse ‘Bunpoutos puerssopum 3uop nos Jf “sap! §9|doad xoy0 01 usisy ‘seapr nox areyg “pup Amok ypu DaUUOL) + ~- L93NNOD ONY ‘Aaoys oy anoge 23 ues auoKsa49 reEp os ‘pureIDpUN LeD appiip sof ur Suosa939 284) Sprom ysHSU 280 ‘suonsonb yse nos Way + -suonsonb onjsak yse 20u og Soya, caPqan SMGAN ZOH0FT ‘ypc uifog 2eip suonsanb ‘sxaasue ojgyssod Auvur quia suonssonb sy + ~ sy Suyypay 30 Suryumyp axe ssox>eseyD 4p OY 998 ura aa. ang ‘sry a aouariadxa ue cpias aD9uUOD, r0MERED 9m put 44039 souoy © sta sdeqiog sBuraog pu sunowp ronoeseyD ay IAs DOUUOD + ~ A9aNNOD A2euonop sroune9] ysyBug-on-yss(Bug we ‘9n 02 Ks Sreuono4p asn nos 3] spiom jo sBuurvou ays MOgE ML « araqp anoge Ase 02 suonsonb aos axedaig “waip moqe any “[ensmun 20 Busoroxu: axe rep Ax0rs a4 UI saBESsEd 10} OO] + WNL 28048 a]0r OK wo som NOs aya UREBE PERT « Buyddors smoyim s0u0 dors ay Peay + ~ OV’ A9aNNOD GNY ~~ NSW ~ 193NNOD ~ HNIHL ~ GV ~ 'spdom asayp zaqurouto 994s a]or IMoK UO 30% MOK UH SATOU ATOWID ONIGVAY 9. sanaeu jo Aanvaq 2 pu optsssun09 ay 103 940} do9p © main ‘weunystBug o1ecoIssed v se pasoquiouias 6} ay ‘SIOIDeNEYD sIy JO ‘tos 2H pue SUEY Jo opissiUNoD yp UY Part] ff eK youd SouoIS Us0Ys Jo UON39} 09 Jo jaxou Atou duo asv9] 1” Paysygnd soveg ‘sxwaK Ax IO “eanang ut ssougtadxo axup-zem s1q mnoge ‘10IM Os[e sareg “AoULAY UT UMOp 20YS aUELT YsTaIIG B Jo Maz9 yp NOE St “phET Ur paysyiqnd ‘Jaaou snow; sow sip * X 2994O Bushy, uNeU OYE sopun 23074 off sam Aro3s-1104ys ISI sa9704 POUT AKA SE PHZOM Os|e 24 pur ‘2ar0g sry jedoy ayp paulo! soreg Seq PHOR puosag aya BuLING, “suoisis ony, 94.1, [Saou 28347 s1y SiOIM dy aay st sIyD Pu “Dayo oy UL aUOLE ‘uoyo sem 9] -ssnoyprem K1o2>"5 aoys © u! uDyp pue sowodar sadedsasou e se poxyront 94 ‘Tooy>s Surava] sayy ‘sr}YeUL-soYs aro Aju SIH -pUEPSUT Soaysuorduregziony UF usoq sem (761~SO6T) >I ISPUNY 39GI9H SULvs “IH ‘soy pue 10104 ‘Ssaupeur pu YIEDp jo sotr01s suLoU! 20g uxty ze%py Sureu ox 2Idood asow oF ang “yxoM Sty Joared jfeuIs ¥ joo are soui038 302304 s1y pur “sars038 50 spupy aUdrayEp Lueu 2102 20, “380k BulMo|IO} ‘tB PaIP UP gpgE UI JfesuaRY [Pj O2 pox FY XPAvOY BUPELIp we9q 20q ue sopeax ayp pur “pjor staio98 ‘poure|dxo ore sonaiskyy ‘sroisereyp ayp soy Addeq 30 pes aq dear gary ‘qoqquos amp 30 wojgard ax 07 saxsue ue s19y0 X|fensn MORMOSAY BL SHO 9eIE4p ayy JO aIOU 10 ‘uo jo sani ays Ur “asz0M J0y 40 saxr9q 40} ‘aBuEyD & sxe IT -wIMIVT Ow yoauiod ayp urod Suara ayp Saoxs ayp Jo aurod yBry ay: st KBUNNED OU coun y8 re Suro ax0Uu sto a ‘snrano osoyp YON IP pure swax> ax0w s8u11q MORDY BuISHY SUL “saorpeseyp 942 Jo 240 Sq uajods sprom 10 Sy8nowp v ‘uonde we ag syst uDKD aU “wH>|qGOxd ap so1¥019 JO o|yUOD ayp sUaq YAP mu9N9 2pBuIs axp st uoPeONduION OU ‘auroo 02 stua]qozd anoge tap! ut 138 ospe am sawmnawiog “suoddey ay uayn pu ‘suaddey A2oas ox aioye ‘are siormesey> oy oy st sy[e2a] X403s aya puraszopun o2 papaou punary>eq axa soniS uonysodyg OUL prtmoy sm ayes 01 sur soxous A20as ay sy "824 “sued any o2uy Azors ayp sopyasp prusesdd ayy, iors & Jo 2044 ay2 snoge Stypea pur ae BuPFoo] Jo kes st prumeKa 20] SPD Sumpery ay 02s v wIoy ypypa s1uaKs yo 9108 v $1 30]d Vy ALIALLOV CINVUAd LOT “2aps qnjQ susomyoog ays qnja StuLOaTyOORBookworms Club Silver POSTER ACTIVITY Each Reading Circle group makes a poster in English about story in this vords, pictures, and drawings.
