The builder’s lunch.

Once there was a builder called Mr Grinling. At night time, he lived in a tiny, white block perched high on the cliffs. In the daytime he drove to his building on the road to build the building.

Each morning while Mr Grinling built his building, Mrs Grinling worked in the kitchen making a delectable lunch for him. Once she prepared the basket and clipped it on the wire that ran from the tiny white block to the building on the road.

On Monday something happened. Mrs Grinling had prepared a particularly appetising lunch for him. She put the lunch in the basket as usual and sent it down the wire. The lunch did not arrive. It was spotted by three cheeky monkeys who set upon it and devoured it. ”clear off!” shouted Mr Grinling but the monkeys took not the slightest notice.

That evening Mr and Mrs Grinling decided on a plan to baffle the monkeys. They decided to tie the napkin to the basket. “They will have to try harder to stop us!”
