Dictation week 1


A Golden Key
A monkey and a donkey were in a barley crop when they discovered a golden key. The monkey reflected on whether the key was for a chest or a bank vault. The monkey and the donkey were about to try both locks when a turkey appeared. The turkey explained that the key opened the golden gate to the valley of honey. Upon entering the golden gate, all three spent their day eating honey.

Dictation week 9


A Stable Fire out of Control
An old fable was set in a stable. There was a lit candle placed in the middle of a wooden table in that wooden stable.  The stable had no living thing in it. Suddenly, the ground began to tremble and the candle toppled over. The candle tumbled over and a raging fire took hold of the wooden stable. The burnt stable tumbled to the ground.  The moral of the fable is to not leave fire unattended.
