NOISY NEIGHBOURS
On Friday Clever and Slow went to Noisy. When they came in, they could hear a terrible noise in one of the rooms upstairs. They went there and saw Noisy.
"What are you doing?" asked the girls.
"I'm asking my neighbours to be quiet," answered Noisy.
"Why must they be quiet?" asked the girls.
"Because my little brother is sleeping!" answered
Noisy.
"Are your neighbours making a noise?" asked
Clever.
"No, they aren't yet. But I'm telling them that my brother is sleeping and that they mustn't make a noise!"
With these words Noisy shouted out of the window, "Mrs Stout! Can you hear me? My little brother is sleeping. Please, don't make a noise till three o'clock," and then,
"Mr Dickson! Can you hear me? My little brother is sleeping! Please, be quiet till three o'clock!"
"How many neighbours have you got?" asked
Slow.
"A lot! And they don't always hear me from the first time," answered Noisy.
"I see," said Clever. "Don't you see, Noisy, that it's you who is making the noise? I think, you should walk to your neighbours. You shouldn't shout to them when your brother is sleeping!"
"And I don't think he is," said Slow.
