27 Read the skeleton story of Dick Whittington and do the task after it.
Do you know the story of Dick Whitting¬ton and his cat? It's an old English fairy tale. In it a boy, whose name is Dick, is very badly off and his mother and father are dead and there's no one to him. Dick goes to London to look for his fortune. There he walks the streets in his poor clothes asking for money until he comes to the house of Mr Fitzwarren.
There he finds a job and falls in love with Mr Fitzwarren's daughter. Luck seems to have smiled on him. His only trouble is rats and mice that bother him at nights. Dick buys a cat and feeds
her on scraps of his own dinner. Once Mr Fitz- warren gets a ship ready to sail to a faraway land. Every servant has a chance of good fortune and can send something overseas. Dick has nothing, so he sends his cat.
Dick quarrels with the cook and decides to leave Mr Fitzwarren's house for good. On his way he hears church bells ring:
"Turn.again, Whittington,
Lord Mayor of London."
Dick believes the prophecy and returns.
Meanwhile his cat arrives at the coast of Barbary. The country suffers from scores of rats and mice. Dick's cat frightens them away and the King of Barbary pays lots of gold and jewels for the cat. Dick gets rich, becomes Lord May¬or of London and marries Mr Fitzwarren's daughter.
What you have read is only a skeleton story. Tell it in a proper way adding some colourful details (either individually or as a chain-story . Use the following words and word combinations:
little beggar, to keep body and soul together, shabby clothes, embarrassed to ask for money, to have a lucky strike, to remain in the house, to earn a living, to catch sight of a pretty girl, to fancy the girl, to take a risk of giving his cat away, pretty bad, to reflect on his life and future, precisely what one wants, to find one’s fortune, to ring for them (about wedding bells
