LISTENING COMPREHENSION VARIANT 19 Dolly and the Jar of Milk Dolly worked on a farm. One day her mistress gave her a jar of milk and said to her, “Dolly, you can have a holiday today. Here is a jar of milk for you.”
“Thank you,” said Dolly. She was very glad to have a holiday. Then she asked, ”May I sell the milk?” “Yes, you may sell it, it is your milk”, answered the mistress. So Dolly put the jar of milk on her head and walked to town. She was very happy. She had a lot of plans in her head.
“I shall sell the milk,” she thought,” and I shall buy some eggs with the money. Then I shall take one of my mistress hen and put it on the eggs. I shall soon have a lot of chicks. My chicks soon will be big and fat, and I shall sell them. I shall buy a pretty new dress with the money. I shall buy a nice red dress and a pair of red shoes. I shall be very beautiful in my new dress.”
Dolly was very happy and she began to run and jump. And the jar of milk fell down to the ground.
Dolly sat down on the grass and cried. She had no milk, no eggs, no chicks, no money, no pretty red dress and no red shoes.
