Joe and the Hairdresser - read the story and write the last line.



Joe’s wife was an ugly woman. She had horrible eyes a big nose and fat lips. One day she decided that if she had a nice haircut it would make her more beautiful. So Joe took her to the hairdresser.

When the hairdresser had finished he held up a mirror so that Joe’s wife could look at herself. She looked in the mirror and saw her ugly face. She saw her big nose and horrible eyes. She started to cry. Joe started crying as well. The hairdresser tried to calm them both down. He said he would give them a refund for the hair cut, but Joe would not stop crying.
Then Joe’s wife became angry.
“Will you shut up?” she said. “I’m the one with an ugly face”
“I know,” said Joe, “ _______________________________ .”

Joe and the tigers - read the story and write the last line



One day one of Joe’s neighbours visited him.
Joe was standing outside his house with a bag of salt. He was throwing the salt over the front of his garden.

“What are you doing Joe?” asked the neighbour.

“I’m trying to keep the tigers away.”

The neighbour looked shocked.
“But there are no tigers near here?”
