Too late
The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all
morning.They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from
South Afica.A few hours carlier,someone had told the police that
thieves would try to steal the diamonds.When the plane arrived,
some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while
other were waiting on the airfield.Two men took the parcel off the
plane and carried it into the Customs House.While two detectives
were keeping guard at the door,two others opened the parcel.To
their surprise,the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!
The best and the worst
Why is Joe's garden the most beautiful one in the town?
Joe Sanders has thje most beautiful garden in our town.Nearly
everybody enters fo "The Nicest Garden Competition"each year,
but Joe wins every time.Bill Frith's garden is large than Joe's,Bill
works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables,but
Joe's garden is more intersting.He has made neat paths and has
built a wooden bridge over a pool.I like gardens too,but I
do not like hard work.Every year I enter for the garden competion
too,and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
