Anecdote Text

What do you think if your neighbour hit his drum everyday ? 

It was Jimmy’s birthday and he was five years old. He got quite a lot of nice birthday presents from his family and one of them was a beautiful big drum. 

“Who gave him that thing?” jimmy’s father said when he saw it. 

“His grandfather did, “ answered Jimmy’s mother. 
“ Oh, “said his father. 

Of course Jimmy liked his drum very much. He made terrible noises with it, but his mother did not mind. His father was working during the day and Jimmy was in bed when he got home in the evening, so he did not hear the noise. 

But one of the neighbours did not like the noise at all, so one morning a few days later, she took a sharp knife and went to Jimmy’ house while he was hitting his drum. She said to him “ Hello Jimmy, do you know, there is something very nice inside your drum. Here is a knife. Open the drum and let’s find it” 

Jimmy did as told and the neighbour never heard the drum again.
