Number four, exercise 46.0:03
But you promised you wouldn't tell.0:09
And do tasks B, C, D, E in your student's book.0:12
But you promised you wouldn't tell.0:22
After Bell Mooney, dad was going to be in charge this Saturday again.0:25
It happened a lot nowadays because Kitty's mum's job meant that sometimes she had to work on Saturdays.0:33
She was in a bossy mood that morning.0:41
There is a lot of salad in the fridge for lunch, she said.0:45
And I want you to eat it up.0:48
The children protested.0:51
I don't care for salad, said Daniel.0:55
I don't want to eat silly salad either, said Kitty.0:59
Can't we have something else?1:03
But Mum told them off.1:06
She knew that salads and stuff like that were a healthy food and could do them a lot of good.1:08
Give the salad a try, she said.1:15
You'll see it isn't all so bad to have salad for lunch.1:18
And remember once and for all, no biscuits for elevenths.1:22
They are bad for your teeth.1:27
I know it for a fact.1:29
Mum took her coat and walked off.1:31
Kitty looked at her father and at the top of her voice shouted, I don't like the flavour of salad.1:35
I'll turn into a rabbit if I eat any more lettuce.1:43
But dad laughed and sent them out into the garden to play, saying, better do as we are told, kids.1:46
Your mother will fix you up or we'll get into trouble.1:55
The morning passed quickly.1:58
The children had a terrific time playing hide and seek with William and Sally, the children next door.2:01
At 11 o', clock, Sally and William's mother gave them a plate of chocolate biscuits and glasses of lemonade.2:10
Then they went into the garden to help to fix the fence.2:19
As lunchtime came near, Daniel and Kitty went home.2:25
It suddenly became chilly.2:30
Heavy clouds made the sky dark.2:33
The air was damp and cold.2:38
Lovely weather for rotten salad, said Kitty sarcastically.2:41
At home, they were surprised to see a strange man sitting at the kitchen table with dad.2:47
They each had a glass of beer.2:54
Dad looked very pleased.2:57
This is Bill, an old friend of mine whom I haven't seen for years.3:00
Bill looked at his watch.3:05
Well, if your lady wife isn't coming home, why don't we all go down the road and get fish and chips?3:07
The children jumped up and down, screaming with delight.3:17
Dad looked at them, then at the fridge door, then at his watch.3:22
But you'd better promise not to tell your mother.3:31
We won't, cried the children when Mum's key turned in the lock.3:34
Dad and Daniel were watching a film on television and Kitty was playing with her teddy bear.3:41
Have you had a lovely day?3:51
And what about salad for lunch?3:55
She couldn't tell lies and disliked cheating so she told Mum what had happened.4:00
Mum marched into the sitting room.4:08
Well, was it good having a salad of fish and chips?4:13
Mum asked, standing between dad and the tv.4:17
Dad looked guilty but Mum was smiling.4:21
Well, if you must know, I met Bill on my way home and he told me about your lunch and you don't mind?4:25
I'm not a witch, you know.4:37
Didn't I say I'm making something you like for supper.4:40
Fish and chips, said Mum.4:47
Oh no, they all said and then they started to laugh.4:50
