Let’s read.

In a small cottage there lived a poor miller with his family. His daughter was a wonderful
baker. She made the most delicious tarts, apple pies, and cookies all fit for a king to eat.
One day, as she was baking an apple pie, the King passed through the village.

Mmm…I smell apple pie.
Where’s the delicious smell
coming from? Take me there.
Oh please, Your
Majesty, come in Scrumptious! Delicious!
and have a slice.
That’s the best pie I’ve ever
tasted. Who made it?

Our daughter, Lisa. She can also weave
the most beautiful cloth and spin the
finest thread. In fact, she can spin straw
into gold.

Wonderful! I’ll take her to my castle. My
kingdom is not very rich. I could do with
more gold. If you can turn straw into
gold, you will be rewarded. Lisa, if you
can’t you will be punished.

Oh no! What am I
going to do now?

Let’s answer.

1. Why do you think Lisa’s father said she could weave straw into gold?
2. Do you think Lisa will succeed?
3. What is your opinion of the King?
4. Is it possible to spin straw into gold? Why? Dear diary,
Today I...

Let’s do.

Imagine you are the King or Lisa.
Express your feelings in a diary.
