Lesson 10: Story: DunbegSenior Infants

They care for me

Mr Spud was just starting to make dinner for the children after school when he realised the potatoes were all gone!

He set off to Tillie’s shop. As he was walking he was afraid he might forget the message he

was going for so he kept saying over and over,

‘Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes.’

Tillie had a new till like they have in the big supermarkets. All she had to do was show the label that had the price on it to the till and it would go ‘Beep’.

She was having great fun!

‘Ask me for anything you like, Mr Spud’ she giggled, ‘it’s only a game!’

Mr Spud thought hard. ‘A large size tub of chocolate chip ice cream please Tullie.’ She found it and waved it in front of the

till and it beeped.

They laughed. Then Mrs. Mack came in with her children. ‘Ask me for anything!’ Tullie said. ‘A large size tub of chocolate

chip ice cream please Tullie.’ She found it and waved it in front of the till and it

beeped. Everyone laughed.

Then walked in Miss _____ with all of the senior infants class. ‘Ask me for anything!’ Tullie said. ‘A large size tub of…’ before they could finish, the till started making

dreadful noises: ‘Whiirrr, clickety, brrrmmm!’.

‘Sniff, sniff,’ said Tullie. ‘What’s that smell?’ said Mr Spud. ‘The

till is on fire!’ shouted the children. ‘Phone the fire

brigade!’ shouted Mrs Mack. ‘Phone for an ambulance for

Tullie because she has fainted!’ Mr Spud said.

At the hospital the porter, nurse and Dr put her to bed, listened to her chest, looked into her eyes and told her to

say ‘Aaagh’, looking down her throat. The nurse felt her pulse and said, ‘Don’t worry, you’ll be fine, we’ll look after you!’

The fire brigade arrived and pointed a big hose at the fire. ‘Whooosh’ went the water.

‘Thank goodness everyone is well and safe,’ said Mrs Mack. They all had a big celebration

that night to celebrate the help of the people of (insert school

area).

Later that night, Mr Spud lay in bed. He sat up suddenly. ‘Oh

dear, I can’t sleep! I can’t help getting the feeling that I’ve

forgotten something….’
