Ted Lawrence was an artist. He painted very modern pictures -- blue squares and yellow circles, red sheep and green sky....
Last December, there was an exhibition of his pictures in our village hall for a week, and there was a big book on a table at the door. In it there were two questions:
'Why did you come to this exhibition?'
'Which of the pictures did you like?' Every evening, Ted went to the book and read the visitors' answers.
The weather was not very good, and on the Saturday, it rained a lot.
That evening Ted looked at the book at the door of the hall, and read one lady's answers to his two questions. They were:
'I did not like any of the pictures. I came into the exhibition because it began raining, and I didn't have an umbrella.'
1. Did Ted paint pictures?
2. What pictures did he paint?
3. What was there in the village hall last December?
4. Was there anything on the table at the door?
5. Were there any questions in the book?
6. What was the first one?
7. And what was the second?
8. What did one lady answer?
