- Oh! I’m in trouble! __________________- Is it terrible? - I’ve broken Mummy’s vase on the table. - It’s no use crying over spilt milk. - Do you see me crying in here, Jill? - No, but… __________- Well, I’ve spilt it. Is it your kilt? - The vase. __________- It was empty when I broke it. I spilt nothing. ______________- It’s the same. ___________________________- ‘To spill’ is ‘to break’, clever! - It’s only a proverb. Have you heard it? _________________________________- Never! Stop talking about proverbs When I have such terrible problems! - It can help you. _______________- Nonsense can’t help at all! - Wails either. Just put the vase at the wall. - But Mummy shall see it soon. ___________________________- If you buy… - You know it costs a lot. Oh my! No doubt, all my pocket money! - Have you forgotten about Mummy? - I can’t forget about my money! - What’s done can’t be undone. ___________________________- It’s not funny. - But it’s another proverb, and I’m afraid Mummy won’t smile if you joke this way. - I’ll save my money if I buy a pink. With it this vase will look better, I think. - And I think you’re very greedy! - You can’t agree I’m clever. Yippee!!!
