- Which one is a letter of Kelly from Edinburgh to a newspaper, and which one is from the children’s book by Roald Dahl?
I’d like to say a big “thank you” to my neighbours, Mr and Mrs Morgan. Every Saturday they give me the First News. Mrs Morgan is a very good gardener and grows lettuce, apples, cherries and other tasty fruits and vegetables. She often lets me taste them. If you are reading this, thanks, Mrs Morgan!
Mr Twit was a twit. He was born a twit. And now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever. Mrs Twit was no better than Mr Twit. In her right hand she always carried a walking stick. The real reason why she carried a stick was she could hit things with it, things like dogs and cats and small children. Mrs Twit was a gardener.
