THE GHOST WAS A CAT

Martin Cambridge

Once there lived a man who was a teacher. He lived on his own, in a small flat. The man in the next flat was a good friend. One day the friend asked the man, "Why have you never married ?" The man said, "I do not like women." The friend said, "You must be very lonely. Why don't you have a pet ? A dog makes a good friend." "I don't like animals," said the man. The man was a teacher at the local school. One day he came home, and saw a cat on his doorstep. He shouted, "Shooo", at the cat, and kicked it awa...

Trudy's Baby

Martin Cambridge

A man ? He looks a bit lost. I wonder if he has come to join the group. "Hello. Are you looking for the singles group ?" "Yes. I saw in the council newsletter that there are walks here in the Country Park on Tuesday afternoons, for singles, but are you the only one ?" "No, there are normally about eight or nine of us, usually all ladies. Ah, here comes our leader, with her clipboard. She'll want you to sign in, then hand the board to me, for me to sign in. I'm Vaniella." A man, yes, but time to be caref...

The Young Man and the Old Man

Martin Cambridge

The old man looked up, "What is it, my young friend ?" he asked. "Why do you bother to visit an old man like me ?" The young man said, "They say that you are clever, and I have come to learn something useful from you." "It is true that I have had many experiences," said the old man, "and it is a bad thing if we do not learn from them - to make sure that we do not make the same mistakes again. I have heard a lot about you. I heard that you did well in your examinations." &n...

How beautiful it is up here. I love sitting in the shade of these trees, looking down on the fields and the village, and dangling my feet in this cool stream. Someone once told me that life is like a stream, or a river, and we float along the stream. Sometimes we go fast and see different things or different people, and sometimes we stay in a small pool and see the same things. I used to wonder which is best, for it is good to meet different people, and also it is good to keep old friends and family. Later, w...

Adrian was a young man who worked in an office. He had worked there for two years, and although the work was interesting and the other people were nice, he did not like his position in the office because he did not have a desk near the window. There was another man who had a desk near the window. When this man got a new job, Adrian moved to the desk near the window, and found that the man had left a few papers and things in the desk. After a few days Adrian decided to tidy the desk. He di...
