It is John's birthday today. He is five years old.
He gets many birthday presents from his family and one of them is a nice big
drum. "Who gives him that drum?" his father asks.
"His grandfather, " answers John's mother. John likes
his drum very much. He makes a terrible noise with it, hut his mother doesn't
say anything about it. His father is not at home. He is working in a school. So
he doesn't hear the noise. But one of the neighbours does not
like the noise. So one morning she takes a knife and goes into John's room. John
is making a noise with the drum. She says to him, "Hello, John. Do you know
there is something very nice in your drum? Here's a knife. Open the drum and
let's find it."
