BR 2-16:Dick Whittington

There was once a boy called Dick Whittington. He lived on his own in the country. He had no money, so he looked for work. One morning, he was recommended that he went to London. He heard the streets are made of gold in London. He walked for miles and miles. But when he arrived in London, the streets weren’t made of gold at all. He looked for work and asked some people. But no one wanted help. Dick needed somewhere to spend the night. He curled up on the steps of a big house and fell asleep. The next morning, the man said “come inside”. He got a job. He was taken the very top of the house. Suddenly a mouse squeezed out of a hole in the floorboards followed by another and another. He couldn’t sleep. ”I must get rid of them,” he thought. A week later, the man gave Dick his first ever wages. t He couldn’t wait to go out and spend his money. Then he suddenly saw just what he needed. “A cat will keep those noisy mice away” thought Dick. He brought the biggest at from and ran home. That night, the mice appeared as usual. Cat chased the mice back into their holes. He could get a good night’s sleep.

I think the man is very kind. He said “Come inside”(Russell, 2009, p.13) to Dick. Dick could live a good life thanks to the man.
