Exercise 2
It was one o’clock at night. Mrs MacEaty was in bed. Suddenly there was a noise.
She listened quietly, but she could only hear the cars in the street.
She was getting nervously. Now she heard another noise.
Then something dropped on the floor loudly.
It was in the kitchen!
Mrs MacEaty jumped out of bed quickly.
She didn’t switch on the light or wake up her husband because he was always afraid.
She went downstairs slowly and opened the kitchen door.
“Who is there?” she asked. “It’s only me”, Mr MacEaty said.
On the table there were sausages, bread, butter and a bottle of beer.
“Harry, you are crazily! The doctor said you must not eat those things;
you’re too fat!” said Mrs MacEaty angrily.
“I know, but it isn’t easily. I was so huungrily”,
he answered, and he went to bed happily.
