Read the story and answer the following questions.
A DISASTROUS DINNER
Last Friday, Mrs. Anderson planned to have a delicious dinner. She
bought a T-bone steak and some cream and apples for an apple pie.
When she came home from the shops she put her shopping on the
table. While she was setting the table, her two pets sat underneath it
and watched her. Then she went to the kitchen to make the pastry for
the pie. She was a little forgetful so she didn’t realize the steak, cream
and apples were still on the table. While she was making the pastry, the
dog jumped on a chair and looked longingly at the steak. At last it took
the steak in its mouth and jumped off the chair, just as Mrs. Anderson
was coming back into the dining room. Mrs. Anderson screamed, but the
dog ran into the garden. She ran after the dog. While she was chasing the
dog, the cat jumped on the table and started drinking the cream. Mrs.
Anderson didn’t manage to catch the dog, and she came back into the
dining room. When she saw the cat, she shrieked, and the cat got such a
fright that it jumped a meter into the air, and leapt out the window. Mrs.
Anderson threw her broom at the cat, but she missed, and broke the
window. At the same time she overbalanced and put her hand in the
cream, spilling it all over the tablecloth. Poor Mrs. Anderson - she had no
dinner, only a dirty tablecloth and a broken window.
Glossary: set the table - put knives and forks, plates, salt etc. on the table., underneath -
under it., longingly - e.g. the dog wanted it but knew it couldn’t have it., shriek - louder
than scream., get a fright - suddenly (not the same as be frightened)., overbalance - to
lose your balance and fall.
