Text 1 : Narrative Text

A farmer came across a bird with a broken wing. He picked it up, took it home and
looked after it lovingly, even though his wife complained bitterly about his wasting too much
time on the creature.
After some time, the wing mended and, because the bird did not want the farmer to have
kept on arguing with his wife all the time, it decided to go back to its nest.
When the farmer discovered that the bird was gone, he was so upset that he went out to
look for it. Eventually, he found it again, and was greeted happily by the whole family of the
bird. As a sign of their thanks for his care and attention, the birds gave him a little box, and
told him not to open it until he got home.
To his surprise, the farmer found the box full of precious stones. When his wife saw
them, she decided that she too deserved a reward, and she went to see the birds. The birds
gave her a little casket; but this one was full of devils. The devils jumped on her as soon as
she opened the casket and chased her away.
Left alone, the farmer went to live near his friend, the bird. There he built a hut of
perfumed wood; and the birds decorated it with flowers of every kind.

The Zoo Job Story

One day a clown was visiting the zoo and attempted to earn some money by making a
street performance. He acted and mimed perfectly some animal acts. As soon as he started to
drive a crowd, a zoo keeper grabbed him and dragged him into his office. The zoo keeper
explained to the clown that the zoo's most popular gorilla had died suddenly and the keeper
was fear that attendance at the zoo would fall off. So he offered the clown a job to dress up as
the gorilla until the zoo could get another one. The clown accepted this great opportunity.
So the next morning the clown put on the gorilla suit and entered the cage before the crowd
came. He felt that it was a great job. He could sleep all he wanted, played and made fun of
people and he drove bigger crowds than he ever did as a clown. He pretended the gorilla
successfully.
However, eventually the crowds were tired of him for just swinging on tires. He
began to notice that the people were paying more attention to the lion in the next cage. Not
wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he decided to make a spectacular performance.
He climbed to the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the top to the
lion's cage. Of course, this made the lion furious, but the crowd people loved it.
At the end of the day the zoo keeper came and gave him a raise for being such a good
attraction. Well, this went on for some time, he kept taunting the lion, the audience crowd
grew a larger, and his salary kept going up. Then one terrible day happened. When he was
dangling over the furious lion, he slipped and fell into the lion cage. The clown was really in
big terrible situation. He was terrified.
Sooner the lion gathered itself and prepared to pounce. The clown was so scared. He
could do nothing and he began to run round and round the cage with the lion close and closer
behind. Finally, the lion could catch him. The clown started screaming and yelling, "Help me,
help me!", but the lion was quick and pounces. The clown soon found himself flat on his back

Text 3 : Hortatory Exposition

Keeping dogs
There are many reasons for keeping dogs as pets in the city area, but many people feel
that keeping pet dogs should not be allowed in the city. Dogs are often not taken care
properly. They are kept in small backyards and rarely taken for walks. They are left in the
yard all day by themselves while the family is at work. Very little attention is given to the dog
and it is not a very good life for it. It is no wonder why these dogs bark and disturb the
neighbours and become a nuisance to the community.

On the other hand, not all people treat their dogs this way and why should the people
receive a lot of pleasure and enjoyment from dog's suffer? Dogs can make a lonely person's
life happy or make wonderful playmate. It can also teach a child responsibility as they not
