Lesson 15 Fifty pence worth of trouble
Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
Did George get anything for his fifty pence? What?
Children (連?) always appreciate small gifts of money. Mum or dad, of course, provide a regular
supply of pocket money, but uncles and ants are always a source of extra income. With some
children, small(L音) sums go a long way. If fifty pence pieces are not exchanged for sweets,
they rattle for months inside money boxes. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a
money box. For most of them, fifty pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of
chocolate.
My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty. Very few of the fifty pence
pieces and pound coins I have given him have found their way there. I gave him fifty pence
yesterday and advised him to save it. Instead he bought himself fifty pence worth of trouble.
On his way to the 'sweet shop, he dropped his fifty pence and it bounced along the pavement
and then disappeared (missing a sound) down a drain. George took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves and
pushed his right arm through the drain cover. He could not find his fifty pence piece
'anywhere, and what is more, he could no get his arm out. A crowd of people gathered round
him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap and butter, but George was firmly stuck. The fire
brigade was called and two 'fire fighter freed George using a special type of grease. George
was not too upset by his experience because the lady who owns the 'sweet shop heard about
his troubles and rewarded him with large box of chocolates.
