Narrative: The Hairy Toe
Once there was an old woman who went out in the woods to dig up some roots
to cook for dinner. She spotted something funny sticking out of the leaves and
dug around until she uncovered a great big hairy toe. There was some good meat
on that toe which would make a real tasty dinner, so the old woman put it in
her basket and took it home.
When she got back to her cottage, the old woman boiled up a kettle-full of
hairy toe soup, which she ate for dinner that night. It was the best meal she'd
had in weeks! The old woman went to bed that night with a full stomach and a
big smile.
Along about midnight, a cold wind started blowing in the tops of the trees
around the old woman's house. A large black cloud crept over the moon and from
the woods a hollow voice rumbled: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy
toe!" Inside the house, the old woman stirred uneasily in her bed and
nervously pulled the covers up over her ears.
From the woods there came a stomp-stomp-stomping noise as the wind whistled
and jerked at the treetops. In the clearing at the edge of the forest, a hollow
voice said: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!" Inside the
house, the old woman shuddered and turned over in her sleep.
A stomp, stomp, stomping sound came from the garden path outside the
cottage. The night creatures shivered in their burrows as a hollow voice
howled: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!" Inside the
house, the old woman snapped awake. Her whole body shook with fright as she
listened to the angry howling in her garden. Jumping out of bed, she ran to the
door and barred it. Once the cottage was secure, she lay back down to sleep.
Suddenly, the front door of the cottage burst open with a bang, snapping
the bar in two and sending it flying into the corners of the room. There came
the stomp, stomp, stomping noise of giant feet walking up the stairs. Peeping
out from under the covers, the old woman saw a massive figure filling her
doorway. It said: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!"
The old woman sat bolt upright in terror and shouted: "I ATE your
hairy toe!"
"Yes, you did," the giant figure said very gently as it advanced
into the room.
No one living in the region ever saw the old woman again. The only clue to
her disappearance was a giant footprint a neighbour found pressed deep into the
loose soil of the meadow beside the house. The footprint was missing the left
big toe.

Agony Aunt letter
Read the letter carefully. Then the teacher will ask you some questions about vocabulary and comprehension.
Dear Agony
Aunt,
Please help me with my problem! I am stuck! I
am only fourteen years old and I am sure that I am in love for the first time!
This is so confusing! AHH! On Saturday, I went to see the live show of Mamma
Mia. It was great but when I was going there with my best friend, I bumped into
her brother. I have known him since I was seven but we don't say much to each
other apart from a friendly "hello" whenever we see each other. I
happen to know that he recently broke up with his girlfriend and that he is
really down about it but I am certain that he will get another girlfriend soon
and I really do like him! The hard part of this is the fact that he is 16 and
will be going away to join the army soon so I do not have much time left to see
him. I have tried talking to my friends about this and they have said,
"Just leave it alone." but I don't think that they understand how I
feel. Theye have also told me that since he is my best friend’s brother that he
is "off limits". Please help me with this! Should I tell him or should
I just leave it like my friends say?
