Celtic Thunder - Galway Girl
Enjoy the song, you'll only have to answer these questions:
What colour was her hair?
And her eyes?
Where was she from?
Has the singer travelled?
Intermediate Story
A man was travelling abroad in a small red car. One day he left the
car and went shopping. When he came back, its roof was badly
damaged. Some boys told him that an elephant had damaged it.
The man did not believe them, but they took him to a circus which
was near there. The owner of the elephant said, 'I am very sorry!
My elephant has a big, round, red chair. He thought that your car
was his chair, and he sat on it!' Then he gave the man a letter, in
which he said that he was sorry and that he would pay for all the
damage.
When the man got back to his own country, the customs officers
would not believe his story. They said, 'You sold your new car
while you were abroad and bought this old one!'
It was only when the man showed them the letter from the circus
man that they believed him.
Elementary Story
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new neighbours near his mother's house. They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you, and I’ll marry you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’
