The Proud Mother

John was a very intelligent boy. His parents were ordinary people who did not have much money, but John won a scholarship to a very famous private school. Most of the other boys came from very rich families. John’s parents had left school when they were very young so they were not very well-educated. Quite often John came from school and when he spoke to his mother or father he used long and bookish words that they did not understand. One day he returned from school and said to his mother, “Mum, may I relate to you a narrative?” “What is a narrative?” she asked. “A narrative is a story, mother.” “Oh, I see,” said the mother.

So John told her a long story about a king who wanted to be a bird. It was such a long story that it was time to go to bed when he finished. When John was leaving the room he said to his mother. “Shall I extinguish the light?” “What does “extinguish” mean?” his mother asked. “To“ extinguish something” means “to put something out? To switch off “, said John.

The next day John’s mother was very nervous. The headmaster was coming to have tea at their house and talk about John’s excellent progress. John’s mother wanted to sound like an educated woman.

The headmaster arrived, John’s mother gave him a cup of tea and one of her home-made cakes which she had spent all morning cooking. The cakes were warm and smelled very delicious. John, his mother and the headmaster sat down together. While they were eating, the family dog became excited by the smell of the cakes. It began to bark and jump up and down. John’s mother wanted to impress the headmaster so she said to John, “John, take the dog by the narrative and extinguish it”.
