Mr Flinch
In a grim, grey house in a grim, grey town lived an unhappy man.
It was not his grey house that made Mr Flinch unhappy. It was not that he was poor, because he was not. Mr Flinch was a miser. He never gave away a penny. ( He never gave away a smile either. ) He was a mean and miserable man.
Mr Flinch was miserable because of his neighbours.
On one side of Mr Flinch’s grim, grey house stood a jolly red one. It belonged to Carl Clutch who mended cars.
Carl loved cars – and motorbikes and vans and lorries. Every morning, Mr Flinch woke up to hear hammers banging, spanners clanging and engines revving. The whole street shook with the noise.
On the other side, in a bright blue house, lived a music teacher called Poppy Plink. Each morning, Poppy sat down and played grand tunes on her grand piano. After breakfast, her students started to arrive.
Violins screeched, drums thundered and bassoons bellowed. Mr Flinch shut his window, but the noise still came through the wall. Brum – brum, tootle – toot, bang! His whole house shook and shivered.
He put his fingers in his ears.
He rapped on the wall … but his neighbours did not hear.
They were far too happy. They were mending cars and making music, and they loved their work.
Brum – brum, tootle – toot, bang!
Mr Flinch rap rapped until he made holes in his wallpaper. It did no good.
Mr Flinch locked himself in a cupboard. He wound old towels round his head.
He wrote angry letters, but tore them all up. ‘ Stamps cost far too much money!’ he said.
Even in bed, he wore a hat to keep out the noise.
But the cars still revved and the music still jangled.
Mr Flinch was the grey filling in a noise sandwich.
‘This can’t go on,’ Flinch thought to himself. He even shouted it out loud:

Nasty Tricks
Mr Flinch went next door to Carl’s house. Carl was mending cars. It was easy to sneak into his kitchen and put a dead rat in the fridge.
‘That will get rid of him!’ said Flinch, and smiled a nasty smile. ‘Nobody wants to live in a house with rats!’
At midnight, Mr Flinch climbed on to his roof and – carefully, carefully – crawled across the tiles. He put his head down Poppy’s chimney and gave a long, loud, ‘Hooowooowoooo!’
‘That will get ride of her,’ he said with a grim grin. ‘Nobody wants to live in a house with ghosts!’
Then he climbed back into bed.
Next morning, Mr Flinch woke to a HUGE noise. Cars and lorries were stopping outside. He looked out of his window.
Carl was sitting outside in the rood, with a table, a kettle, a loaf of bread and a bottle of tomato sauce.
Carl called to Mr Flinch, ‘Can’t use my kitchen today! Rays, urgh! My mum is cleaning up. She told me to eat my breakfast outside. That’s how I got this great idea! Take – away breakfast! Drivers can stop here and buy breakfast.’
Just then, Poppy Plink came running out of her blue front door. ‘Oh, Mr Flinch! Oh, Carl! Guess what happened last night!’
‘I give up,’ said Mr Flinch, with a sumg smirk. ‘Do tell.’
Poppy beamed with joy. ‘Last night, angles sang down my chimney! They did, I promise!’ She frowned. ‘But the music wasn’t very good! I think they want some new songs to sing! I’m sure they want me to write them, and I shall! Oh I shall!’
She did.
Poppy still had to teach music all day.
But at night she wrote angle music. She made it nice and loud, with lots of cymbals and trumpets.
It was all too much for Mr Flinch.

Mr Flinch has a Plan
Mr Flinch went next door to Carl’s house.
He showed Carl a fistful of money. ‘The day you move house, all this is yours!’ he said.
‘Anything you say, chief,’ said Carl, wiping his dirty hands on a rag.
‘As long as I can mend cars, I’ll be happy anywhere.’ Carl went on, ‘I’ll move out as soon as I can sell the house!’
Next, Mr Flinch went to Poppy’s house and offered her a hatful of money. ‘The day you move house, all this is yours!’ he said.
‘Of course! If that is what you want, dear heart! Cried Poppy.
She had never seen so much money in her life. ‘As long as I have my music, I can be happy anywhere! I will move out just as soon as I can sell my little house!’
Mr Flinch went home a happy man – well, as happy as a man like Mr Flinch can ever be.
He felt in his empty pockets and gulped. ‘All that money gone! Ah, but soon those noisy neighbours will be gone, too!’
In a few days, Mr Flinch’s neighbours had sold up their houses.
Now, at last, he would have peace and quiet – nothing but the noise of mice scratching in the empty cellar.

Moving Day
Mr Flinch watched as Poppy Plink moved out. Bo-jangle went the piano as she pushed and bumped it down the steps.
‘Going already are you, you pest?’ he mutted. ‘I pity the person who has to live next door to you!’
Seeing him, Poppy waved up at the window.
‘Such luck, Mr Flinch!’ she called. ‘Fancy! A few days ago, I met someone who wants to move house too! We agreed to swap houses!’
Just then, Carl came out of his front door carrying two heavy tool boxes. He saw Poppy struggling with a harp and went to help her. ‘All set, Poppy? he said.
‘All set, Carl! Isn’t this fun!’ She replied.
Then Carl moved into Poppy’s bright house and Poppy moved into Carl’s jolly red one.
They helped each other to carry the big things, like tables and sofas.
Then Carl had a house-warming party. He and Poppy sang, because they were so happy: ‘There’s no place like home!’
Mr Flinch heard it right through the wall of his house … even inside his cupboard, even with a towel round his head.
1 What will Walrus do?
Everyone at the North Pole was very excited. There was going to be a show and ANYONE could be in it. ‘I will do skating,’ said Arctic Fox. ‘I’m good at that!’ ‘I’ll do tumbling,’ said Polar Bear. ‘No one tumbles quite like me!’ ‘I’ll do singing,’ said Seal. ‘Everyone says I have a very fine voice!’ ‘Then I’ll do diving,’ said Whale. ‘I won a prize for diving at school, you know!’ They all looked at Walrus. ‘What will YOU do?’ they asked. But Walrus was not good at anything. He wasn’t good at skating, and he wasn’t good at tumbling. He was terrible at singing, and when he tried to dive, he always got water up his nose. He sat and chewed his whiskers sadly. ‘Never mind,’ said Arctic Fox. ‘You can watch us.’ Arctic Fox and Polar Bear and Seal and Whale practised hard for the big show. Walrus hid behind a snowdrift and watched, and chewed his whiskers. He wished he was good at something.

It was Friday afternoon.Class 3 had put on their coats and were waiting in a line to go home.lenny was at the back because the zip on his anorak（防水衣）had stuck（卡住）.He was so busy with the zip that he nearly missed what Mr Cox the teacher said.
‘Here is a letter for you all.’said Mr Cox.‘Don’t lose it and don’t forget to give it to your parents.There is good news inside.’
Lenny wanted to know what the good news was.He rushed across the playground to meet his mum.
‘Quick!Open this letter,’he said. ‘Mr Cox says there is good news inside’
‘Say hello to me first!’laughed his mum,but she opened the letter.She read it and told him.‘Class 3 is going to have football lessons.Next week.The school will lend you some boots’
‘Wow！’shouted Lenny.‘Real football! I bet I score fifteen goals!’
His mum pet the letter in her bag.
‘What about a stripy(带条纹的) shirt and socks? Can I have a real football strip?’begged(央求) Lenny.
‘Wait and see.’said mum.
At home Lenny couldn’t get out of his anorak and his mum had to help him.
‘I’m glad you didin’t break the zip. I can’t get you another coat until next month.’she said.
‘I don’t want a new coat,’said Lenny,‘but can I have a real football strip?Please?’
‘Ask me after tea,’said his mum.
They had pancakes for tea with jam and apple.Pancakes were Lenny’s favourite.But today he ate as fast as he could.
He put down his knife and fork with a clatter.（当啷）
‘You promised（许诺） to talk about football things after tea.’he said.
Mum took Mr Cox’s letter from her bag.
‘Each child will need an old T-shirt and some socks,’she read.
‘No real football things?’ asked Lenny.
‘I’m sorry,no.Except for shorts.Mr Cox wants
you all to have new shorts.We’ll go to the market tommorrow to look for some.’
Lenny was not happy buthe knew his mum.She had made up her mind and that was that.He looked great.
‘I bet they always had a proper(像样的) football strip,’he thought.‘I bet they didn’t have to wear an old T-shirt.’
That night he lay awake thinking.He was going to make sure his mum bought football shorts. He wanted proper white football shorts.Then he knew he could score lots of goals.

After breakfast the next day they set out to buy the new shorts.The market was two streets away from where Lenny lived.On the way they saw Ted and Shane from Class 3.Ted and Shane lived near Lenny.They were kicking a ball about beside the road
Shane slammed the ball over to him and Lenny kicked it back.
‘Want to play?’called Ted.
‘I can’t,not now.I’m off with my mum to buy new football shorts.’
‘We’ve got ours already,’Ted shouted back.
The market was very crowded.Everyone was looking at the fruit and vegetables piled high on the stalls.There were shoes and clothes for sale under stripy canvas(帆布) roofs（屋顶）.One man was selling shorts
‘Get your jungle shorts!’he shouted.
He was wearing a wide straw hat (宽檐草帽)and an enormous（巨大的）pair of jungle shorts over his trousers.They had big green trees on with monkeys smiling at the top .
‘Big or small,they don’t cost much,’said the man.
‘No thanks’ said Lenny. ‘I m going to strart football lessons next weak.I need real football shorts.’
He pulled at his mum’s hand.they struggled through the crowds trying to find real football shorts. They found lots of shorts that were too big and a little white pair that was too small When they did find a pair tin Lenny’s size they cost far too much money.
‘We’ll just have to get the junngle shorts,’said Mum.‘The colours are lovely. I’m sure you’ll like them better than white ones.’
Lenny pulled a face ‘Oh mum’he said ‘But——
‘No buts’ said his mum.
They went sloowly back to the man selling jungle shorts .The pile(堆) on his stall had gone down a lot.
‘I knew you’d come back. I put aside a pair just for you’said the man.
He held a pair of junngle shorts against(比较) Lenny’s tuousers.
‘A perfect fit！’he said with a smile.
Lenny’s mum opened her purse and paid for the sharts. The man put them in a bag and handed it over.
‘There you are,son .Have fun wearing them!’
Lenny did not smile .‘I wish they were real football shorts.’ he said.
‘Junngle shorts are the next best thing.’ said his mum.
On the way home they saw Tessa and Pam from Class 3 kicking a ball against a fence(围墙). They lived at the top of Lenny’s street.
‘We can’t wait till Monday for football said the girls. We’ve got new shorts!’
‘So have I’ said Lenny. But he didn't open his bag to show them.

On Monday ofternoon Class 3 were waiting for their first football lesson. Everbody was noisy and excited ,swinging(摇摆) their bags of football things .Lenny was at the back with the jungle shorts in his bag. He didn't want to put them on.
Mr Cox carried a big box of boots into the changing room. They spent a long time finding boots to fit everyone.
‘Now put on your football things and be quick about it,’ he said.
Lenny got changed in a corner behind the door.
When they wer all ready Mr Cox shouted, ‘get in line, everyone!’
Lenny made sure he was at the back again. He didn't want anybody to see his jungle shorts and he hid behind Ted. He looked down to see what Ted was wearing and got a surprise.
Ted was wearing jungle shorts as well! Lenny nudged(用肘碰) him in the back and said ‘Your shorts are the same as mine!’
‘Yes,’ said ted ‘and the same as pam’s and tessa’s and shane’s!’
It was true. All the friends from Lenny’s street were wearing junngle shorts. Mr Cox smiled.
‘Five childred in the same shorts. it muse be a record!’ he said.
‘And we all live in lyon street’ said Lenny.
‘In that case(既然这样) you must all play for the same team you can be the Lyon Street Lions.’
When Mr Cox had sorted out(挑选)three more teams they went out to the playing field.
They played five-a-side football until home time. The lions team beat all the others and Mr Cox said they were the champions.Lenny scored five goals.
In the changing room the children untied(解开) their muddy(沾满泥水) boots and put on their clothes.
‘All kit(球服) must be washed and boots clean for next Monday.’ said Mr Cox ‘Don't leave it for your mum. Do it as soon as you get home and then you won’t forget.
Lenny was the first to be ready and he ran to meet his mum at the gate. He told her about his five goals and the Lyon Street Lions
‘We’d better go home quickly now said Lenny. ‘ I have to clean my boots and wash my shorts!’
And when Mr Cox drove home for his tea later on(晚些时候) he smiled to himself. On Lyon Street there were five pairs of jungle shorts blowing on the washing lines.
