did

you

see

the

magnificent

town

residence

?

John: Yes.

Sally: So

what's it like

?

John: Well, first of all it's four miles out of the town centre.

smallish,

one

that

OK

The

luxury bathroom doesn't have a shower, and the downstairs

cloakroom* is at the end of the garden at the end of the

jungle*, I should say. The sitting and dining room are both

pretty small.

oil-fired central heating

do, but no one expected that a game they played last week would

be reported in

the local newspaper

who is only five years old, found the perfect place to hide. His

counting up to

ten when

Ian noticed that the small metal door of the letterbox had been

left open. The postman had just taken all the

letters out and

had gone into the post office to see if there were any parcels.

Ian

climbed

into

the

letterbox

and

pulled

the

door

from

the

inside so hard that it locked. Soon realizing what he had done,

he

become

very

frightened

and

started

crying.

Meanwhile,

Janet was

looking for

him everywhere but could not

find

him. It

was lucky she

happened to

stop outside the letterbox and heard

her

brother's

cries.

She

immediately

ran

to

tell

the

postman

who

hurried out

to unlock the metal door. Ian was now free, but

he

had

such

a

bad

fright*

that

he

could

not

stop

crying.

postman, however, soon

found a way of

making him laugh again.

He told him that that next time he wanted to hide in a letter-

box, he should remember to

stamp on

himself!
