One morning Mrs. Andrews made some sausage sandwiches for her husband’s lunch. There was one sausage left over. Mrs. Andrews didn’t like sausages herself and so she gave the last one to Henry, their little dog. Henry ate it up quickly.
During the morning the dog got ill. He wouldn’t stop shaking his head and he couldn’t stand up properly. Mrs. Andrews thought, “He has eaten something that didn't agree with him. Maybe that sausage was bad…” She suddenly remembered her husband’s lunch and called him at the office.
“Jim, I hope you haven’t eaten any of those sandwiches yet.”
“Yes, I have…”
“You have ? Well. Listen, don’t eat any more. I gave Henry the last sausage and now he’s ill . Go to the doctor, Jim. Tell the doctor about the dog. Get some medicine at once.”
Jim came home at lunchtime and went to bed. “I have a very unpleasant hour with the doctor .” He told his wife. “ The medicine made me very sick.”
The next morning Jim was fine. Henry seemed quite well again, too. At eleven o’clock the milkman came with the milk.
“Good morning, Mrs. Andrews,” the milkman said. “How is your dog this morning? I have been thinking about him…”
“Have you? Well, he seems all right now, but…”
“Yesterday morning he and I had a little accident. He jumped up at me and I dropped a bottle of milk on his head.”

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery Hour. Today we’ll show you two British stories. We hope you’ll enjoy them.
About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England. Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language. They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them. The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there. And her skin color turned back to normal day by day. Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can turn green.
Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland. It’s a very deep and cold lake. For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster(怪物) called Nessie which lives in the lake. About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake. They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water. Since then many people say they have seen the monster. Their descriptions are always the same. It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head. It has a big bump(肿块)on its back. People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear. Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not. Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish.
