when the men came to take his furniture to the new house, John
thought, ' I' m not going to let them carry my beautiful old clock in
their truck. Perhaps they'll break it, and then mending it will be nTy
expensive.' So he picked it up and began to carry it down the road in
his arms.

Mick lived i n the country, and he had quite a big garden. He grew
vegetables, and he had some n i ce, fat chickens too. He sold the eggs
and the meat, and got quite a lot of money for them.
His neighbour had a big garden too, and he also had vegetables
and nice, fat chickens in it. There was a wire fence between the
gardens, but it was very old, and the chickens often found holes in it
and went through.
Now Mick wanted a new fence between his garden and his neigh­
bour's, so Mr Biggs came to build it. Mick said to him, 'Please make
the fence out of strong wood. And I want a hole in it. Make it big
enough for my chickens to get into my neighbour's garden and eat his
vegetables, but too small for his to get into mine and eat mine. '
