Question on Text B
7. Read the following passage once. Underline the key words while reading and retell the story to your partner.
Henry D. Penrose was a dog with a pedigree. He lived in a fine stone house with white marble steps and red velvet drapes on every window.
His owner, Professor Randolph Penrose, was quite rich. Each morning Henry was driven to Obedience School in a long black limousine. "
Each afternoon he was fed two grilled lamb chops for lunch.
Each evening he fell asleep in his fur-lined basket in front of the fire- place.
On Saturdays he was groomed at Miss Fifi’s Shop. And on Sundays he accompanied the professor to the park, where a classical orchestra played soothing music and the grass was cool and fragrant.
Professor Penrose would stroke Henry’s shiny coat and say, "You have the life, Henry my boy!"
And Henry certainly had to agree.
Then one day it all changed. Just. Like. That. professor Penrose received a telegram offering him a chance to dig for dinosaur bones in Idaho. For one entire year.
There was only one problem. The telegram stated quite firmly in the largest letters possible: NO PETS ALLOWED!
The cook, Mrs Washburn, agreed to take Henry to her home until the professor returned.
Professor Penrose hated to send Henry to live on the other side of the city. There were no marble steps or red velvet drapes on Mrs Washburn’s property.
But Henry was buttoned into his red plaid coat and driven to the Washburn residence.
Henry stepped out of the limousine. He was so shocked that his ears stuck out like two car doors.
