I Know What I Know

Listen to the story and say what happens to Ulf.

Once there was a man named Ulf who had three grown-up daughters. Each had married a troll and gone to live inside a hill.

Ulf had not seen any of them since their weddings. One day he decided to visit the eldest. He walked till he came to the hill where she lived.

A door in the hillside flew open. “Welcome!” said his daughter, and she let him in.

“Husband, look!” she told the troll. “My father's here! Will you go buy some meat for the stew?”

“Why buy what is already owned?” said the troll.

He picked up a mallet and hit himself on the back of the head. Thunk! His head flew off into the stew pot, and a new head grew on his shoulders.

“Ah!” said Ulf.

When he got home, he told his wife, “I have learned something wonderful!”

“What have you learned?” she asked.

But Ulf just smiled and said, “I know what I know.”

A few days later, Ulf's wife told him, “We need meat for the stew. Will you go buy some?”

“Why buy what is already owned?” said Ulf. He picked up a mallet and knocked himself on the back of the head. Thunk!

“Oof!” said Ulf. He fell senseless to the floor.

When he came to, his wife said, “Husband, why in the world did you hit yourself?”

“Never mind!” said Ulf grumpily. “I know what I know!”

Ulf spent the next few days in bed. When the bump on his head had gone down, he decided to visit his middle daughter. He walked till he came to the hill where she lived.

A door in the hill flew open. “Welcome!” said his daughter. “Husband, look! My father's here! Will you go buy some candles for the table?”

“Why go far for what is near?” said the troll.

He put his hand in the fire. Ssssss. When he pulled it out, his fingers were lit like candles and made the room quite bright.

“Oh!” said Ulf.

When he got home, he said, “I have learned something marvellous!”

“What have you learned?” said his wife.

Ulf smiled. “I know what I know.”

A few days later, his wife said, “We need candles for the table. Will you go buy some?”

“Why go far for what is near?” said Ulf. He stuck his hand in the fire. Ssssss.

“Yeow!” he cried, and hopped about the room, waving his hand in the air. At last he fell in a faint.

When he woke up, his wife said, “Husband, why in the world did you burn yourself?”

“Never mind!” said Ulf. “I know what I know!”

Ulf had to wear a bandage for over a week. When his hand had healed, he decided to visit his youngest daughter. He walked till he came to the hill where she lived.

A door flew open. “Welcome!” said his daughter. “Husband, look! My father's here! Will you go buy some fish for our dinner?”

“Why fetch what will soon arrive?” said the troll.

They went outside to the well, and the troll jumped in. Splash! Fish after fish came flying out. Then the troll jumped out again.

“Ooh!” said Ulf.

When he got home, he said, “I have learned something wondrous!”

“What have you learned?”

“I know what I know.”

A few days later, his wife said, “We need fish for our dinner. Will you go buy some?”

“Why fetch what will soon arrive?” said Ulf. He brought her outside, then he jumped in the well. Splash!

“Help!” cried Ulf, who couldn't swim.

His wife quickly lowered the bucket. Ulf grabbed the rope and climbed out, then sat dripping and shivering on the ground.

“Husband, why in the world did you jump in the well?”

“Never mind!” said Ulf. “I know what I know!”

“Well, of course you do, silly! But what do you know?”

A Boy Who Cried «Wolf»

Listen to the story and say what happened to the boy who cried “wolf”.

Once upon a time there lived a little boy. His name was Bill. Bill didn't live in town. He lived in the country, and looked after sheep. He was not a very good boy. He often fell asleep watching the sheep, and he also told lies. The people who lived there often said, "That boy will come to a bad end". One day Bill wanted to play a practical joke on the people. He ran down the hill and cried, "Wolf! Wolf! Help! Come quickly! Wolf!"

All the people ran very fast to him as they wanted to save him. But when the people ran up to the boy they saw no wolf. "It heard you and ran away," the boy said. The people went away. Bill began to laugh. "How funny the people are! How silly they are! They are not clever at all".

Three weeks later he wanted to play the same trick again. "Wolf! Wolf!" he cried. "Help! Come quickly! Wolf!" Many people ran to the hill as fast as they could, but again there was no wolf. This time the boy laughed at them. "Ha, ha. There was no wolf," he said. "What a good joke! Don't you think so?" The people became very angry. "Lies are not jokes," they said, and went back home.

Two days later the weather was sunny and warm. The boy was sleeping in the afternoon sun. Suddenly he woke up. He saw a big dark animal. The animal ran to the sheep and grabbed one.

"Wolf!" cried the boy. "Wolf! Help! Come quickly! Wolf!". But nobody came to save the boy this time. Nobody wanted to help him. Nobody believed him. He cried out again. He cried loudly. The wolf heard and said: "I like sheep, but a little boy will taste better. I'll have a real dinner tonight!" When the boy didn't return home that night the people went to look for him. But they never found him and nobody saw him again.
