Read the following text aloud:

The young man in this story was very lazy. To make time pass, he used to think of
funny things, maybe in order to forget he was so hungry. He was thinking of funny mice
particularly, of some mice that would bring him some food.
But one day his dream turned into reality. A mouse came to the young man and
dropped some money at his feet. The money was four ten dollar bills which the mouse
carried in its mouth. The mouse had carried the money so delicately that no teeth marks
had been left on the money. The young man picked up the money, and studied the mouse,
which stood in perfect harmony with everything.
“Well”, he said, “This is delightful.”
He looked at the mouse thoughtfully.
“Stealing, hey?” he said.
The mouse nodded the way a clown nods in a funny way.

Answer the following questions:

a) Why did the young man think of funny things?
b) What animal was the young man thinking of?
c) How had the mouse carried the money?
d) Did the mouse work for the money?
