LISTENING COMPREHENSION VARIANT 29 Mr. Black goes to work by train every day and he always walks from the station to his office. It is about one kilometre and he never goes by bus because he enjoys walking fast. It sometimes rains and snows, but then Mr. Black puts his umbrella up, turns the collar of his coat up and walks fast.
There is always a poor man at the side of a narrow street near Mr. Black’s office.
He has one leg and he sells matches in the street. A box of matches costs 10 dollars; Mr. Black always smiles at the poor man and says “Good morning”. Then he gives him 10 dollars and does not take any of his matches because he does not smoke.
One day Mr. Black gives the poor man his 10 dollars and begins walking on, but the man shouts , “Sorry, Sir, but the matches cost 15 dollars now.”
