Anecdote Text : Noises
Education English | Anecdote Text : Noises | What do you think if your neighbour hit his drum everyday ?
It was Jimmy’s birthday and he was five years old. He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family and one of them was a beautiful big drum.
“Who gave him that thing?” jimmy’s father said when he saw it.
“His grandfather did, “ answered Jimmy’s mother.
“ Oh, “said his father.
Of course Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made terrible noises with it, but his mother did not mind. His father was working during the day and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening, so he did not hear the noise.
But one of the neighbours did not like the noise at all, so one morning a few days later, she took a sharp knife and went to Jimmy’ house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him “ Hello Jimmy, do you know, there is something very nice inside your drum. Here is a knife. Open the drum and let’s find it” Jimmy did as told and the neighbour never heard the drum again.

Narrative Text : The Caliph and the Clown
Education English | Narrative Text : The Caliph and the Clown | The Caliph of Baghdad hired an intelligent and high spirited man as his court jester, and was much amused by his clever, witty comments. The clown was so well loved by his master that everyone at court showed him great respect. And so the Caliph was much surprised one day when he heard his beloved clown crying out in distress from the throne room. The Caliph hurried there and was astonished to find the guards beating the clown badly.
“Leave him alone at once!” he ordered. “Why are you beating him?”
“We found him sitting on your throne, O majesty!” the captain of the guards explained.
“out of my sight!” commanded the Caliph. “For sure the jester did not do it with the intention of offending me.”
The clown, however, continued to weep and wail even after the guards had left. “Stop it! Said the irritated Caliph.
“You’re still in one piece, aren’t you?
“I’m not crying for myself, my lord, I weep for you,” the clown explained.
“For me?” exclaimed the Caliph in surprise.
“Certainly! If I get beaten so badly for having been only a few minutes on the throne, how many beatings must you have suffered in all the years that you have been there?”
