“Today is the day!” thought Diarmuid as he got
ready for his entrance test to become a Fianna
warrior. He felt a bit nervous as he did up his
bootlaces. He ate some breakfast to give him
strength and he flew out the door to the test.
Diarmuid was tested on everything: he fought
off nine warriors while standing in a hole; he
wrote out all the ancient stories perfectly; he
swam against a raging current; and he ran so
fast and so deftly that not a leaf shook around
him. When the bell rang at the end of the test,
he was told that he had been accepted into the
Fianna. He tore off his armour and sung and
danced all the way home.

I was awake very early that morning. It was a
Tuesday in early December. I was staying with
my Uncle Tom at his villa in Greece. The first
tremor came at about half past four. It was a
very mild one and it barely woke me up. I was
just nodding off again when the second one
came. My whole bed shook. I could hear my
cousin, Carlos, starting to shout. I jumped out
of bed and ran to my balcony.
I saw Doctor Mouscouri falling about like a
puppet. Suddenly, my balcony started
to shake violently. The next thing I knew I was
being flung forward. I clung to a piece of the
railing but I couldn’t hold on. The last thing
I remember was my Uncle Tom as he tried to
grab my arm. I knew no more until I awoke in a
hospital bed in Athens.

The most common types of owls in Ireland are
the barn-owl and the long-eared owl. The shorteared owl is a winter visitor, but also has been
known to nest there. Owls are nocturnal. Their
large eyes can see very well in the dark. Their
eyes are at the front of their head, not at the side.

Sometime later, the King’s musician broke his
harp. He searched everywhere for the wood of a
willow tree to make a new harp. At last, he found
a willow tree by a stream. He cut down the tree
and made a beautiful harp from the soft wood.
That night, there was a big feast in King Larry’s
palace. All the nobles and lords were in the
Great Hall. The King ordered his harp player to
play some music for his guests. But, when the
harp player plucked the strings, the harp began
to sing loudly, “King Larry has the ears of a
horse, the ears of a horse.” There was silence in
the Great Hall.

The Murray family rose early on the first
morning of their holiday in Scotland. The
weather was warm and sunny – a perfect day
for a nice picnic at the seaside. The happy and
excited children helped their parents prepare a
big feast of tasty sandwiches and home-made
cakes. After a quick breakfast, they set off on
foot for a small, sandy beach about a mile from
their thatched cottage. Already, the clear, blue
sky was filled with the sweet, joyful song of tiny
larks. As they strolled down the dusty road, their
eager eyes gazed upon the broad, calm ocean.

He was an old man and he lived in the big house
next to ours. He was very kind to the birds
during the cold months of winter. Each morning
he used to take them small morsels of soft
bread. The feathery birds used to perch on his
outstretched arm and eat the crumbs of bread.
It was a very touching sight to see this generous
man with his shivering friends around him.

the tree.

dancing stream that rushed down the valley,
past huge boulders and tall pine trees. Soon,
it was joined by another stream and soon
afterwards by another and another. Shortly
afterwards it became a swift flowing river
that roared onwards with great power and
force. Next it passed a small village at the foot
of the hills, where laughing children tossed
bits of wood into its racing current. Almost
immediately, it flowed under the arch of a
sturdy stone bridge where a fisherman sat, his
line dangling hopefully into the foaming waters.
In a little while it reached the flat, level land
of the plain and the river then slowed down,
becoming silent, dark and deep. At last it was
winding its way lazily through wide fields of
rich green grass. After that it came upon a
noisy city where huge buildings and tall smoky
chimneys crowded the skyline. Finally it flowed
out into the sea.

Child’s own story.
A
Once upon a time a little girl called Goldilocks
went for a walk in the wood. She did not know
that there were dangerous animals in the wood.
Suddenly she came upon a little house.
“I wonder who lives here,” she thought.
“There doesn’t seem to be anybody about.”
She knocked on the door and walked in. In
front of her were three bowls of steaming
porridge.
She tasted the first one and screamed, “This
porridge is too hot to eat!”
There were two bowls left so she tasted another
one.
“Yuk! This porridge is too sweet!” she shouted.
There was one bowl left so she tasted that one.
“Mmm! This porridge is just right!” she said.
Goldilocks was so tired that she fell asleep in
a small bed. She did not know that the Three
Bears who lived there had returned from their
walk in the woods.
Father Bear shouted “Who is sleeping in Baby
Bear’s bed?”
Mother Bear shouted, “Who does she think she
is?”
Goldilocks jumped up and ran away.
Baby Bear shouted after her, “Next time buy
your own porridge!”
Poor Goldilocks! She did not know what she
had done wrong!
