Mr Park’s class visit a castle
Paul’s class at school are studying castles in history. So last week their history teacher,
Mr Park, took them to visit an old castle on a hill next to the sea. They went by bus and
stopped at the bottom of the hill.
Mr Park pointed to the castle at the top of the hill and said, ‘There is no road up there so
we have to walk.’
The children were tired and thirsty when they arrived at the castle. But Mr Park had
juice for all of them. It was very interesting because Mr Park showed them all the
different parts of the castle and explained its history.
On the way down the hill, Paul’s friends said, ‘Let’s have a race.’ So Paul and his
friends started to run.
‘Stop running!’ shouted Mr Park. But the boys ran faster and faster and then Paul fell
over and hurt his leg. It wasn’t broken, but he couldn’t walk very well.
Mr Park saw a farmer on his horse in a field. He went to speak to him and the farmer let
Paul ride his big brown horse down the hill to the bus.
‘Sorry we didn’t listen to you on the hill,’ Paul said to Mr Park, ‘but we listened in the
castle. It was great! Can we come again?’
