READING AND VIEWING

Activity 5: Predict from title and picture

Read this extract from the story “Lassie come home.” Lassie Come Home Retold by Rosemary Wells She was sable, black and snow white. Her amber eyes lit up the face of anyone who looked into them. All the village of Greenall Bridge said Lassie was the best collie they had ever seen. One May morning, without telling anyone, Joe’s father sold Lassie for fifteen pounds and ten shillings. He sold her because he lost his job for good. This was more than three weeks’ wages. © Impaq

How would he tell his son, Joe? What would Joe do when he found Lassie not waiting for him as he always did after school? When Joe saw the grassy corner of the schoolyard empty that afternoon at four, a panic rose at the back of his mouth. Greenall Bridge was a quiet village, and Joe knew perfectly well Lassie had neither been run over nor stolen. Before he even ran to ask his mother what had happened, a corner of his heart darkened. He dashed home. Clattering into the kitchen, he shouted, “Mother, something’s happened to Lassie! Where is she? She wasn’t at school!” Joe’s mother said, “She’s sold. That’s what, and there isn’t any good you trying to change it.” “Sold!” said Joe. “Sold,” repeated his mother. “Come sit down for your tea, Joe.” “But how could you sell her … how could anyone?” Joe’s voice rose like a child’s, as words of any sense fell away from him. Joe’s father, usually quiet, knocked over his chair and stormed out of the door. He had not, of course, found a way to tell his son. After a time his mother spoke of the closing of the mine where his father worked. She reminded him that they could just pay the rent this month and did not have much left over for more than a little bread with no jam, and tea with no milk. All the time she talked, she scrubbed and polished.
