Liza is a tailor. She owns a tailor shop in town. One day, one of her customers, Mrs Johansen came to

her shop to collect some clothes which she had instructed Liza to sew.

Mrs Johansen started bargaining with Liza. She said that the skirt was too tight and it was not

sewn neatly. Liza finally gave in. She offered Mrs Johansen a three-ringgit discount.

However, Mrs Johansen then said that she left her purse at home and she only brought RM20. She

promised to pay for the remainder later. Liza knew that this lady was up to her trick again so she

pulled out the skirt from the plastic bag and told Mrs Johansen to claim her skirt later when she had

the money.

Mrs Johansen did not expect that. She was shocked. Then, she pretended to search in her handbag

before taking out another twenty ringgit. She gave the money to Liza.

‘No, no, Mrs Johansen. It’s RM52. Another twelve ringgit, please,’ said Liza firmly. Mrs

Johansen reluctantly pulled out twelve ringgit more from her handbag.

Questions 22

Read the story below and answer the questions that follow.

Once, there was a swan that had beautiful golden feathers. It lived in a pond near the house of a poor

woman and her two daughters. One day, the swan visited their home and said, ‘I shall give you one

feather at a time. Take it and sell it. With the money that you get, you can live in comfort.’

After saying this, the swan shed one of her feathers and flew away. The swan would visit the

woman and shed a feather from time to time. In this way, the woman and her two daughters led a

comfortable life. After a while, the woman became greedy and wanted all the feathers at once. She

said to her daughters, ‘We cannot trust the swan for long. She may fly away and never come back. If

this happens, we will be poor again. We will take all her feathers the next time she comes.’

The woman’s daughters tried to stop their mother. ‘Put all her feathers will hurt her,’ they cried.

Their mother, however, had made up her mind. So, when the swan came again, the mother caught it

and pulled out all her feathers. At once, all the golden feathers turned into ordinary white ones.

The golden swan said, ‘I wanted to help you but you are greedy.’
