  1. Here comes the telegraph boy. See, he is hurrying towards the house. I wonder if it is a good news he has.
    I think I know. My father was summoned for not having a light. My mother was ready to go shopping but when she received the message she was so upset that she forgot. But, we thought we had enough of food to do us for our supper. When supper time came I went to the cupboard to get the food. But I was disappointed as there was no food there. We had o go to bed with empty stomachs.
