B. Read the story "The Lion and the Mouse” and comment.
A long time ago, a lion fell asleep in the jungle. A mouse wanted to play, so she ran up and
down the lion. The lion woke up and put his big paw on the mouse. 'Breakfast!' he thought. He
opened his mouth to eat the mouse.
The mouse was very afraid, and she apologized to the lion. She told the lion that maybe she
could help him someday. The lion liked the idea that the mouse could help him in the future. He
lifted his paw and let the mouse go.
A few weeks later, two hunters set a trap, and the lion accidentally stepped into it. The hunters
came back to the trap and tied the lion to the tree with ropes while they went to find a truck to
carry the lion.
After the hunters left, the mouse walked by and saw the lion. She remembered her promise to
help him. So, she chewed the ropes that connected the lion to the tree. Soon the lion was free
again.
'See, I was right', said the mouse. The lion replied, 'Thank you!' After that, the lion and the
mouse became friends.
C. Now, read another version of the story that contains mistakes. Write past simple
affirmative and negative sentences about the details that are incorrect. The first one
has been done as an example.
A long time ago, a lion was asleep in the forest. A mouse wanted to play, so she walked up and
down the lion. The lion woke up and put his huge nose on the mouse. 'Breakfast!' he thought.
He opened his mouth to eat the mouse.
The mouse was very afraid, and she sang to the lion. She told the lion that maybe she could
help him someday. The lion liked the idea that the mouse could help him in the future. He lifted
his paw and ate the mouse.
A few weeks later, two farmers set a trap, and the lion accidentally stepped into it. The hunters
came back and tied the lion to the tree with ropes while they went to find a car to carry the
lion.
After the hunters left, the mouse ran by and saw the lion. She remembered her promise to
help him. So, she chewed through the ropes that connected the lion to the tree. Soon the lion
was asleep again.
'See, I was right', said the mouse. The lion replied, 'Thank you!' After that, the lion and the
mouse were hungry.
