Answer:
Once upon a time there was a man called Smith. He was a greengrocer and lived in
Clapham. He had four sons. The eldest was called George, after the king, and it was
arranged that he was to inherit his father's shop. So, at school he went to special botany
classes, and learned about the hundred and fifty-seven different kinds of cabbage, and
forty-four sorts of lettuce. And he went to zoology classes and learned about the seventyseven kinds of caterpillars that live in cabbages, and how the green kind came out if you
sprinkle the cabbages with soapy water, and the striped ones with tobacco juice, and the
big fat brown ones with salt water. So, when he grew up he was the best greengrocer in
London, and no one ever found caterpillars in
his cabbages.
But Mr. Smith only had one shop, so his other three sons had to seek their own fortunes.
The second son was called Jim, but his real name was James, of course. He went to
school and he won all the prizes for English essays. He was captain of the school soccer
team, and played half-back. And he was very clever at all sorts of tricks, and used to play
them on the masters. One day he stuck a match-head into the chalk. It wasn't a safety
match-head either, but one of those blue and white ones that strike on anything. So when
the master started writing on the board he struck the match and nobody did much work
for the next five minutes. Another day he put methylated spirits in the ink-pots, and the
ink wouldn't stick to the pens. It took the master half-an-hour to change all the ink, so
they didn't get much French done that hour, and he hated French, anyway. But he never
did ordinary tricks like putting putty in the key-holes or dead rats in the master's desk.
