1. Listen to the poem.

THE RIVER BY VALERIE BLOOM

The rivers a wanderer,A nomad, a tramp.

He doesn't choose any one place

To set up his camp.

The rivers a winder,Through valley and hill

He twists and he turns,

He just cannot be still.

The rivers a hoarder,And he buries down deep

Those little treasures

That he wants to keep.

The rivers a baby,

He gurgles and hums,And sounds like hes happily

Sucking his thumbs.

The rivers a singer,

As he dances along,The countryside echoes

The notes of his song.

The rivers a monster,

Hungry and vexed,Hes gobbled up trees

And hell swallow you next.

1. Listen to the poem.

Mr. Nobody

Author: Unknown

I know a funny little man,

As quiet as a mouse,

Who does the mischief that is done

In everybody's house!

There's no one ever sees his face,

And yet we all agree

That every plate we break was cracked

By Mr. Nobody

`Tis he who always tears our books,

Who leaves the door ajar,

He pulls the buttons from our shirts,

And scatters pine afar;

That squeaking door will always squeak,

For, prithee, don't you see,

We leave the oiling to be done

By Mr. Nobody

The finger marked upon the door

By none of us are made;

We never leave the blind unclosed,

To let the curtains fade.

The ink we never spill; the boots

That lying round you. See

Are not our boots they all belong

To Mr. Nobody.

MOM: Aaron, did you drop this when you were washing it?

AARON: No, maybe it could have been sis who cracked the plate.

MOM: Alice, was it you?

ALICE: Of course not. Im always careful, not like Aaron.

MOM: Well, as usual, if I ask, the answer is always nobody did it.

DAD: Aha, I know for sure that one of the children must have dirtied the

carpet. I can see muddy sneaker prints on it. Werent the two of you

outside playing in the rain yesterday?

AARON: Dad, we did not wear sneakers, only slippers.

ALICE: Nobodys sneakers were muddy at all. Check the shoe-cupboard.

MOM: What do you know! Its Mr. Nobody again!

DAD: Looks like we need to install a CCTV to see who does not close the

door properly, who leaves the newspapers scattered everywhere,

who forgets to draw the curtains, who spills ink, who tears the

books and whatever else that goes wrong.

MOM: Okay, Ill call the CCTV company tomorrow.
