The Match Sticks
One day Mrs Parker was sitting on a chair outside her door. She looked across the road and she saw a very funny thing. She saw a great number of match sticks fighting in the middle of the road. They were fighting in the middle of the road for about five minutes and then a man named Mr Flood came down the road. They followed Mr Flood till he got to his souse and then they stopped. The day after that Mr Flood died.
