Bad butcher
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan lived in Weymouth. Mr. Bryan worked in a bank there, and Mrs. Bryan always bought her meat from a butcher near the bank. The meat in that shop was always very good.
Then the bank sent Mr. Bryan to Penzance. He bought a house there, and Mrs. Bryan began looking for a new butcher. There was one near her house, and she went into his shop and found a nice piece of meat.
'I want two kilos of that,' she said to the butcher, and he began cutting it, but Mrs. Bryan said, 'You're giving me a lot of bone in that.'
'No, I'm not,' the butcher answered. 'I'm not giving it to you. You're going to pay for it.'
1. Did Mrs. Bryan buy good meat in Weymouth?
2. Did she go to Penzance alone, or with her husband?
3. Did she find a butcher there?
4. Was there any nice meat in his shop?
5. What did she say to the new butcher?
6. What did he do then?
7. What did Mrs. Bryan say to him?
8. And what did he answer?
