A Text A Day

When the ape in the zoo died, the zookeeper

simply hired a man to dress up in an ape
costume. The man was happy in his work, sitting
in his cage, eating peanuts and swinging on the
tree. But one day, he swung too far and landed
in the lions den. As the lion came trotling over,
the ape man cried, Oh this is the end of me.
Stop talking! said the lion, if anybody hears
you, well both be out of job!

Presentation
Read the story to the pupils.

Noels Pet Bird

Noels pet bird was free to fly around the

house. But its frequent visits were made in
the kitchen much to the 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.
