1. Read this joke.
The cowboy’s horse
A cowboy rode into a town. He fastened his big fine horse to a post outside a bar,
kicked open the bar door and asked for a beer. When he had finished his drink, he went back
outside, only to find that someone had stolen his horse.
The cowboy went back into the bar, got his gun out and fired three shots into the ceiling.
5 “Which one of you dirty dogs has stolen my horse?” he shouted, firing three more shots.
“OK, then,” he growled, looking very mean, “I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going
to order myself another beer and then I’m going to go back outside. If my horse isn’t back
where I left him, I’ll have to do what I did when the same thing happened in Texas.”
The other customers in the bar looked at each other and shivered. When the cowboy had
10 finished his second beer, he went back outside. The thief had brought the horse back and
tied it to the post, exactly where the cowboy had left it.
The cowboy got back on his horse. The barman went up to him and asked in a nervous
voice, “Er, before you go, please tell us, what exactly happened in Texas?”
“I had to walk home,” said the cowboy.

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life

1. Read part of an interview with Elle Fanning.
Elle Fanning on Maleficent

and Angelina Jolie
Question: How would you describe your feelings about
Angelina Jolie, and how was it when you first met her,
and then also working together?
Elle Fanning: Yeah, well I was extremely nervous
5 about meeting her. And I remember the day I first met
her – it was during rehearsals. We were in Pinewood
Studios and I didn’t know I was going to meet her that day. And then everyone started saying, “She’s
here, she’s here,” and I’m like, “Oh my God.” The knot was growing in my stomach and then I turned
the corner and, uh, there she was. She was in normal clothes, and immediately she said, “We’re gonna
10 have so much fun working together.”
I think it’s funny because even though we’ve worked together, I still get butterflies when I see her.
When you meet her, it’s like she’s just a girl in a way – we would just talk about normal girl things.
And you get to see her sensitivity, and she’s super playful.
Question: One of the awesome things about this movie is that there’s such tenderness between you and
15 her. That was sort of a rare experience.
Elle Fanning: I know. I’m glad that our film was like that. When I started filming, I was such a huge
fan of the animated version and I’m like, “Oh, I feel like we’re breaking some weird Disney rule”.
Neither Maleficent nor Sleeping Beauty are supposed to even talk to each other, they’re enemies! But
the way it turned out… it’s like a fresh take on the story, and I think for the modern world we need to
20 have a modern story, and it is. It’s very different…

1. Read these parts of the song lyrics by Ed Sheeran.
Don’t Thinking out loud

For a couple weeks ’Cause honey your soul
I only wanna see her Could never grow old
We drink away the days It’s evergreen
With a take-away pizza And baby your smiles
5 Before a text message 5 Forever in my mind and memory
Was the only way to reach her I’m thinking about how
Now she staying at my place People fall in love
And loves the way I treat her In mysterious ways
Singing out Aretha And maybe it’s all part of a plan
10 All over the track like a feature 10 I’ll just keep on making
And never wants to sleep The same mistakes
I guess that I don’t want to either Hoping that you’ll understand
But me and her That baby now
We make money the same way Take me into your loving arms
15 Four cities two planes the same day 15 Kiss me under
And those shows The light of a thousand stars
Have never been what it’s about Place your head
But maybe we’ll go together On my beating heart
And just figure it out Thinking out loud

Best Loch Ness Monster sighting

A man who has never been to Scotland has won the best Loch Ness Monster
sighting of 2014 for a screenshot which was taken on Google Earth.
Bjarne Strand, 52, was searching the loch from his computer 800 miles away when
he spotted a long, thin object beneath the surface of the water of Horse Shoe Scree on
5 the loch’s southern side.
The Nessie aficionado’s shot beat five contenders in an online poll on The Inverness Courier
website, winning him a £2,000 cash prize in an annual best Loch Ness Monster sighting
competition.
“I’m very happy to have won the prize,” he told the Mirror. “I am very interested in anything
10 regarding Nessie and the history of Loch Ness. I was sitting one night at home reading about it on
the internet and thought I would check if I could see something from above – and that turned out
well.”
Mr Strand, whose image received 92,000 votes in the poll, said he hoped to visit the home of his
favourite mythical creature. “I have never been to Scotland but my hopes are that one day I will
15 visit Loch Ness,” he told the Mirror.

Once upon a time

Henry looked at me with curiosity. “I was walking down the path
when I saw the bean so I asked Emma about it, but she told me that
she had absolutely no idea what it was so I quickly flipped through my
copy of Once Upon a Time. Baelfire uses a magic bean to travel to our
5 world. Then I did what he did and I ended up a few miles away from
Storybrooke, and that’s when I realised it was a parallel,” I finished.
I asked Henry if he had any questions.
“Actually yes,” Henry began. “Why did you use the bean if you knew it
would take you away?” I shrugged at his questions.

Cheeky bonus for giving Manchester United a scare

Scott Laird picked up a goal bonus after he scored against Manchester United last
night. Despite the defeat, Laird was delighted to have scored against the world famous
team, plus he had an extra reason to be cheery.
The 26-year-old revealed that a long-running tradition would mean he would be
receiving £1 from his grandma thanks to his goal.
“Every time we scored as kids, she used to give me and my brothers a pound,”
he told BBC Somerset. “Even though I’m 26 now, I still carry that tradition on.”
