Miss green had a heavy cupboard in her bedroom. Last Sunday she said, ‘I don’t like this cupboard in my bedroom. The bedroom’s very small, and the cupboard’s very big. I’m going to put in a bigger room.’ But the cupboard was very heavy, and miss green was not very strong. She went to two of her neighbours and said, ‘please carry the cupboard for me.’ Then she went and made some tea for them.
The two man carried the heavy cupboard of out of miss green’s bedroom and came to the stairs. One of them was in pushed and pulled for a long time, and the they put the cupboard down.
‘well,’ one of man said to the other, ‘we’re never going t o get this cupboard upstairs.’
‘upstairs?’ the other main said. Aren’t we taking it down stairs?’
