What's the matter?

My friends have a lot of pocket money,but I've got only a little.

I can't buy many new toys.

I'm good at a lot of subjects, but I'm poor at Maths.

2 Miss Guo tells Kally and Eddie a story.

Long ago,there was a poor farmer called Fred.

Fred and his wife,Doris,lived happily together in their tiny old hut.

One winter night,the Luck Fairy visited them.

Fred,you're a good farmer.I'd like to give you a wish,'said the Luck Fairy.

A wish?' said Fred.

Fred and Doris smiled at each other.

Then Fred said,'Thank you, Luck Fairy.We're very healthy and happy'

Although we're old,we still work in the fields every day,'said Doris.

You work very hard,but you earn very little money.

Would you like some gold coins?'asked the Luck Fairy.

3.'Oh no,my dear Luck Fairy.

Although we're poor,we still have enough food to eat,'replied Fred.

You can use the gold coins to buy some new clothes.

The winter here is very cold,'said the Luck Fairy.

Although we haven't got many clothes,we've got enough,'said Doris.

Well,what about a nice, new house?'asked the Luck Fairy.

Thank you.I like my tiny,old hut very much.

I've lived here since I was born.

I don't want a new house,'said Fred.

You're very different from other people.

I like you very much,'said the Luck Fairy.

I wish you happiness and health forever.'

Then the Luck Fairy disappeared.
