Old Moon Eyes – ( No 10 ) - Arthur McGregor
Arthur
McGregor lives on the little Scottish
Island of Mole. And, Arthur McGregor has a very small
farm. He has a pig, a cow,
and a horse with 2 legs.
And, all
Scottish horses have only two legs. This is because of
the very steep mountains. Only two
legged horses can climb Scottish mountains.
Last year,
Arthur McGregor took his pig and his cow and his two legged horse to
England. And, there, they had a very good holiday. On
Monday, they had fish and chips and on Tuesday they had
bangers and mash.
And, on Friday, Arthur McGregor, his pig, his cow and his
two legged horse went to the best theatre in London, the London
Palladium.
And, on
Saturday they went home to Scotland. Next year, they are going to
Austria.
