Lesson 7 Text A After a Heavy Snowstorm One night there was a heavy snowstorm,
and in the morning Mr Smiths garden was full of deep snow. Mr Smith wanted to
take his car out, so he paid a man to clean the path from his garage to his
gate. He said to this man, Don't throw any snow on that side, because it will
damage the bushes in my garden; and don't throw any snow into the street, or
the police will be angry. Then Mr Smith went out.
When he came back, the path was clean and the snow from it was not on the
bushes, or the fence, or the street. Mr Smith was very pleased-until he opened
the garage to get his car out! The garage was full to the top with all the snow
from the path, and his car was somewhere under it all!

retell the story to your partner. A Better Mailman !
I worked as a mailman for a short time. However, I am afraid of dogs and I had
a lot of trouble. One day I tried to deliver some letters to a big house. I
started to open the gate and all of a sudden a huge dog ran toward me. It
growled and barked at me , so I threw the letters over the fence. The dog
picked them up and carried them into the house. The dog was a better mailman
than I was!
