4. 6. Poisonous Snakes He found the earthen pot, and quickly pulled off the cloth. To his astonishment, he found not a pot of gold, but a pot of poisonous snakes. “What’s this?” he cried. “My cousin and her husband are trying to kill me so that they can get their hands on my farm.” Seething with anger, he covered the pot again, and set out for Ali’s house. “I’ll teach them a lesson,” he muttered. When he arrived at Ali’s house, he carefully placed a ladder against the wall. He stopped and listened. From inside, he could hear the loud sound of snoring. “They are fast asleep,” he whispered. “Now for my revenge.” Slowly and carefully, he climbed up to the roof, carrying the pot of snakes. He undid the string and tipped the poisonous snakes down the chimney. He replaced the ladder on the ground, and slipped silently away into the night. Down below, Ali and his wife slept soundly, unaware of what had been dropped into their hearth. (c) Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council 2009/SEMA/elearning HT_Assessment 6
