1. Peter’s father liked to look for birds. Every time he saw one he had not seen before he liked to check it with his binoculars, take a photo, and write down its name in his bird book.
One day Peter’s father showed him a picture of a big black bird with a yellow tail, and said, “This is a Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo; I have not seen one before in the wild, but I hear there is a pair down by the lake. How would you like to come with me today to look for the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo?”
2. Tomorrow is Friday – it is School Sports Afternoon.
Peter is looking forward to it because he is good at sport.
He especially likes RUNNING and JUMPING.
Last year, in his 8-year age group, he won the 70 metres race, the long jump, and the scissors high jump.
Peter was so excited on Friday morning because he expected to be a winner again. He announced to his parents and friends “I hope you will all watch me win the three events again this year!”

Peter's first race starts; but what happens? Does Peter win like he expects?
Jane and Peter live in a comfortable small house with their mother and father. They often play together in their back yard. When they were small, they had two pet Guinea Pigs. When the Guinea Pigs died, they cried, although Peter pretended not to cry by turning away and covering his face. But because they were so sad their father promised them that next Christmas he would take them to get a dog or a cat – provided they promised to look after it properly!
Finally the day arrives when Jane and Peter are taken by their father to the RSPCA animal sanctuary.
