Tommy’s Holiday With His Stepdad

Tommy comes back from his holiday with his mum, and his stepdad and the teacher ask him, “Hello Tommy, did you enjoy your holiday?”

“I did, Teacher.”

“And did your stepdad take you out, show you things, go exploring?”

“Yes, he did, teacher, he took me out rowing 1/2 a mile into the lake every day, and then I’d swim back.”

“Oh, well, um, it’s an awful long way to swim, isn’t it, 1/2 a mile?”

“Oh no, teacher, no, it was easy once I’d got out of the bag!”
