Christmas theme 4. You’re a show freak!
- Pete, have you ever made chestnuts? - No, will you make them? ______________________- Yes, but First of all look how To take the kernels out. Here they are! It’s your turn. __________________________- Ooh! It’s very difficult to do! Do it without me! Pam! - OK. The French fry them Then peel the nutshell easily, And, no doubt, quickly. I think we can do it this way. Let’s switch on the oven and wait. - I like it, Pam. What’s now? - Just wait. __________- Something’s burst out! Wasn’t it a cracker That made this crack there? Pam, let’s open the door! ----Crack! ---- - Ouch! Pam! Fall on the floor! - Ah! It was a nut that burst then! I think we should take them Out. ______- The nut’s hit my forehead! - Cover the pan with the lid! - And you hide behind my back. ----Crack! Crack! ---- - Gosh! Oh! My poor neck! But I like it when they burst! These chestnuts are the first I’ve made myself. ________________-You haven’t yet. - Nothing can stop me to do that. - Then start picking them from the floor, Especially near the door. - Hey! Stop! What are you about? - The pan’s empty: they flew out. - And what a thunder they create! Ha! You must agree it was great! I enjoyed hearing them burst. - I’m afraid all of them are lost. - I see at least some on the floor. - Put one in your mouth. _____________________- What for? - Taste. _______- Ugh! _____________- Burnt! ____________________- Ha! Overdone. Never mind! We had lots of fun! We can use this idea. - How? _______- Christmas is near. What about doing this trick? - Oh! You’re a show freak! - We’ll hide a Primus and a pan Under a drum. _____________- And what? ________________________- Think, Pam. Cracks turn into peals of thunder, And everyone must wonder How we managed to do it. They begin guessing what can hit So loudly. I’m sure Tom lifts the drum. _________________- You’re cruel! - This bully must be taught at last. I wanna tell you of the must. - What else in addition to peals? - We must paint the chestnuts, their peel! - A small firework! I like it! You’re a real genius, Pete!
