英语阅读理解：恐怖的农场晚餐




Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very
hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.


He
usually
went
to
the
seaside,
but
one
year
he
saw
an
advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few
weeks
at
West
Hill
Farm.
Good
food.
Fresh
air.
Horse
riding.
Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”



“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I
’
ll spend a month
at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and
fishing. They
’
ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and
swimming.”



He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would
like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left
for West Hill Farm.


But four days later, he returned home.


“What
was
wrong
with
West
Hill
Farm?”
his
best
friend,
Ed, asked him. “Didn
’
t you enjoy country life?”



“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was
another problem.”



“Oh. What?”



“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and
we had roast mutton for
dinner.”



“What
’
s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the
best.”



“I
know,
but
on
the
second
day
a
cow
died,
and
we
had
roast beef for dinner.”



“Lucky you!”



“You don
’
t understand,” Henry said. “on the third day a
pig died and we had roast
pork for dinner.”



“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “and you are
complaining!”



“Let me finish,” Henry said. “on the fourth day the farmer
died, and I didn
’
t dare stay for dinner!”
