¥The Rat Princessμ

Adapted from Frank Rinder’s Old World Japan

Once upon a time, there was a Rat Princess, who lived with her father,
the Rat King, and her mother, the Rat Queen, in a ricefield in faraway
Japan. The Rat Princess was so pretty that her father and mother were
quite foolishly proud of her, and thought no one good enough to play with
her. When she grew up, they would not let any of the rat princes come to
visit her, and they decided at last that no one should marry her till they
had found the most powerful person in the whole world; no one else was
good enough. And the Father Rat started out to find the most powerful
person in the whole world. The wisest and oldest rat in the ricefield said
that the Sun must be the most powerful person, because he made the rice
grow and ripen; so the Rat King went to find the Sun. He climbed up the
highest mountain, ran up the path of a rainbow, and travelled and travelled
across the sky till he came to the Sun’s house.
“What do you want, little brother?” the Sun said, when he saw him.
“I come,” said the Rat King, very importantly, “to offer you the hand of my
daughter,
the princess, because you are the most powerful person in the world; no
one else is good enough.”
“Ha, ha!” laughed the jolly round Sun, and winked with his eye. “You are
very kind, little brother, but if that is the case the princess is not for me;
the Cloud is more powerful than I am; when he passes over me I cannot
shine.”
“Oh, indeed,” said the Rat King, “then you are not my man at all”; and he left
the Sun without more words. The Sun laughed and winked to himself. And the
Rat King travelled and travelled across the sky till he came to the Cloud’s
house.
“What do you want, little brother?” sighed the Cloud when he saw him.
“I come to offer you the hand of my daughter, the princess,” said the Rat
King, “because you are the most powerful person in the world; the Sun
said so, and no one else is good enough.”
The Cloud sighed again. “I am not the most powerful person,” he said;
“the Wind is stronger than I,—when he blows, I have to go wherever he
sends me.” “Then you are not the person for my daughter,” said the Rat
King proudly; and he started at once to find the Wind. He travelled and
travelled across the sky, till he came at last to the Wind’s house, at the
very edge of the world.
When the Wind saw him coming he laughed a big, gusty laugh, “Ho,
ho!” and asked him what he wanted; and when the Rat King told him that
he had come to offer him the Rat Princess’s hand because he was the most
powerful person in the world, the Wind shouted a great gusty shout, and
said, “No, no, I am not the strongest; the Wall that man has made is
stronger than I; I cannot make him move, with all my blowing; go to the
Wall, little brother!” And the Rat King climbed down the sky-path again,
and travelled and travelled across the earth till he came to the Wall. It was
quite near his own ricefield.
“What do you want, little brother?” grumbled the Wall when he saw
him.
“I come to offer you the hand of the princess, my daughter, because
you are the most powerful person in the world, and no one else is good
enough.”
“Ugh, ugh,” grumbled the Wall, “I am not the strongest; the big grey Rat who
lives in the cellar is stronger than I. When he gnaws and gnaws at me I crumble
and crumble, and at last I fall; go to the Rat, little brother.” And so, after going
all over the world to find the strongest person, the Rat King had to marry his
daughter to a rat, after all; but the princess was very glad of it, for she wanted
to marry the grey Rat, all the time.

TASK 5: GRAMMAR AND READING (Fill in the past simple)

A slightly different dragon

Once upon a time, there lived (live) a lonely dragon named Archie. He was
(be) very different from the other dragons. He could not (cannot) fly or spit
fire and he did not (do not) want to learn it. The other dragons laughed
(laugh) about him. He always sat (sit) in the cave and listened (listen) to the
wild dragons talking about their adventures.
One day a dragon brought (bring) a princess and put (put) her into a cage.
Archie had never seen such a pretty girl before. She had (have) long, blond
hair and wore (wear) a golden crown on her head. Archie´s heart was beating
wildly. He wanted (want) to help her. So he made (make) a plan. He boldly
stepped (step) forward and said (say), "Have you heard the terrible news?"
All the other dragons listened (listen) to Archie. "A messenger came (come)
by and brought (bring) a message. Thousands of enemy dragons are coming!
They want to conquer our country! " lied (lie) Archibald. The other dragons
were (be) terrified and went (go) to a secret hiding place.
The excited dragons forgot (forget) to take the princess with them. Archie´s
plan had worked. He freed (free) the princess and took (take) her on his back.
First the king's daughter was (be) afraid of him, but then she realized (realize)
that he was (be) a good dragon, who wanted (want) to help her. The two had
(have) a long way to go. Archie wished (wish) that he would have learnt to fly.
The dragon and the princess was (be) on their way for many days and many
nights. Finally they came (come) to the castle of the princess. The king had
promised a reward for his kidnapped daughter. “The one who brings back
Princess Donna will be rich and marry the princess!” When Archie was reading
 INSTITUCION EDUCATIVA EL CASTILLO
NAME: ________________________________DATE:_______________
GRADE: _________ GUIDE N°______ SCORE: _________/10
this he was (be) happy, because he had fallen in love with the princess. But
when the king saw (see) Archie he called (call) the guards who should kill him.
Princess Donna cried (cry), "Stop! Don´t kill the dragon. He is a good dragon.
He has freed me! "So he should stay alive and leave the country. But Archie
was (be) not happy, he asked (ask) angrily, "What about the reward you
promised (promise)?" The king answered (answer) "You do not think that I´ll
marry my daughter to a dragon" Now Archie had (have) to explain something
about him, "Mr. King! I'm not a dragon. I'm a prince! " The king knew (know)
that such things really happened (happen) now and then. But he did not (do
not) believe the words of the dragon. So he replied (reply), "Well! Prove to me
that you're a man, because only a man can solve riddles. Three riddles I want
to ask you. Do you agree? " Archie agreed (agree) and the king began
(begin), "What is golden during day, red-hot at dawn, burning hot and cannot
be put out with water?" The dragon answered (answer), "Your Majesty! This is
the golden sun that shines from the sky during daylight, when she goes down
she glows like a ball of fire! And have you ever heard that someone has tried to
put out the heat of the sun with water? " Archie laughed (laugh) and went
(go) on, "What is more beautiful than a peacock's tail, flies like silver through
the night sky, but never lands on the ground to rest?"
Again Archie thought (think) hard, "This can only be a shooting star! Every
night I lay in front of my cave to admire the beautiful sky with the stars. And
I've often seen shooting stars, but never seen them touching Mother Earth. "
The king asked (ask) the last riddle, "What is for a king like me the important
thing in the world?"
This could (can) be everything and nothing. Archie thought (think) for some
time and said (say), "Silver, gold and precious stones are a real treasure for a
king. But your greatest treasure is your daughter. She has also captured my
heart with her beauty. "Now Princess Donna smiled (smile) because she had
also fallen in love with Archie´s friendly character and his warm voice. The king
had (have) no choice but to give the dragon his beloved daughter as wife. A
large wedding party was organized. Just at that moment when the princess
kissed (kiss) the dragon there was (be) a huge bang and it got (get) dark.
When there was (be) light again Princess Donna could (can) hardly believe her
eyes. The most beautiful prince she had ever seen stood (stand) in front of
her. Prince Archie of Sparkling Stone Castle. They kissed (kiss) each other
again and went (go) happily to the altar. And if they have not died, they still
live happily in Sparkling Stone Castle.

The tiny giant and the huge dwarf

A Fill in past simple!

Long time ago, in the midst of high mountains and the dwarf forest lived (live)
a sad giant named Willy. Willy was (be) always sad because he wasn´t (not be)
like the other giants. He was (be) the hugest giant among the giants. He was
teased by the other ones and he had no friends. When he sneezed (sneeze) all
the animals and the dwarves quickly had (have) to hide somewhere not to be
blown away. He was (be) so heavy that everything was flattened when he
stepped (step) on it. Everybody was (be) afraid of him, even though he was
(be) the most peaceful giant in the country. He would never do any harm to a
dwarf intentionally. So Willy carefully put (put) one foot after another on the
ground not to hurt anyone. The other giants laughed (laugh) at him, "Ha, ha!
Look at Willy, he moves like a tortoise! " Willy was (be) very sad and he went
(go) to the big lake. He sat (sit) down and tears were running down his cheeks.
Suddenly he heard (hear) a voice, "Hey! Stop crying! Otherwise I'm drowning in
your tears!" Willy looked (look) around, but he couldn´t (cannot) see anybody.
"Down here I am" cried (cry) a very tiny dwarf. Finally the giant saw (see) the
little guy. "Oh, I'm sorry!" said (say) Willy. "But I cannot hold back my tears.!"
The dwarf climbed (climb) up on his shoulder, "You let your tears run, while I
am almost drowning. Don´t you see that I´m sad too?" Now Willy saw (see)
that the tiny dwarf had (have) a tear-stained face. The dwarf asked (ask),
"Why are you crying? I have a good reason to cry. Look at me, I'm soooo tiny. If
I was as big as you, then I would be happy and laughing all day!"

B Fill in the missing words!

Willy started weeping again and big tears flowed straight into the lake, "You
can talk easily. I´d like to be as small as you. Then life would be wonderful! All
laugh at me, I have no friends and many are even afraid of me, because I am
so huge." That was strange. How often had Toby wished to be a giant. Being a
dwarf was not easy, because he could be overlooked easily. "Oh, the world is
 INSTITUCION EDUCATIVA EL CASTILLO
NAME: ________________________________DATE:_______________
GRADE: _________ GUIDE N°______ SCORE: _________/10
so unfair! Could we change our sizes, then life would be perfect!" Suddenly the
lake began to glow and shine. A beautiful woman with golden hair and bright
blue eyes appeared. She had wings like an angel and spoke with a lovely sweet
voice, "You called me." The giant and the dwarf were frightened and shook
their head wildly. "Whenever two together are weeping and wishing something
very much, and the tears flow into my lake, I appear," said the woman. "I am a
wishing fairy. How can I help you? You´ve got three wishes "Willy answered, "I
wish that I'm small!" There were a gentle wind and a lovely sound and the huge
giant began to shrink until he was as tiny as Toby. But Willy complained, "I don
´t want to be that tiny." The tiny dwarf said, "Your own fault. Now it's my turn. I
wish that I am tall!" He waited for the gentle wind and the sweet sound. He
began to grow until he was a huge giant. Toby looked down at his body and
then said, "Oh, I don´t want to be that tiny." "This was the second wish," said
the wishing fairy. "Now you have one wish left!"

B Fill in the missing pronouns!

they-they-they-they- They- them-it-We-she-They

And because it was the last wish, Willy and Toby decided together what they
should wish. With one voice they said, "we want to be neither large nor small,
but large and small!" The wishing fairy smiled. They felt the gentle wind and
heard the sweet sound again. Willy began to grow again and Toby to shrink
again. Finally a tiny giant and a huge dwarf sat there. Yes, they were just right.
Willy and Toby were now not much taller or smaller than a human being. They
laughed and danced and were happy. The fairy smiled at them and she
disappeared into the lake. And if the tiny giant and the giant dwarf are not
dead, they still go hand in hand and live happily somewhere.
