1 Read the story and match the pictures to the paragraphs.

A shaggy dog story …a …… Well, this is a completely true story that happened to a friend of

mine … well, more of a friend of a friend, actually. Anyway, it happened a few years ago, oh, about 1999, when my friend was on a walking andcamping holiday in Scotland …

b …… My friend’s called Bobby, by the way. That’s not his real name. He’s really called Kevin Arthur Bishop, but he’s completely bald, like an egg,except for one or two hairs that are really long that he combs across thetop of his head. So everyone called him Bobby, after Bobby Charlton, theEnglish footballer from the 1960s, you know, the only English World Cupwinning football team in 1966.

c …… But that’s not really important to the story … So, where was I? Oh, yes, Bobby was on holiday in Scotland, walking with his tent andtasting the local whisky — that’s a special drink from Scotland and it’s verystrong. Not everyone likes the taste. I don’t. It tastes of petrol to me.

d …… So, Bobby was walking through a lovely village in Scotland. It was a beautiful summer day, the sun was shining, which was quite unusualbecause it normally rains in Scotland. And as Bobby was walking throughthis village, he heard a dog barking.

e ......... Now, Bobby doesn’t really like dogs — he prefers hamsters andrabbits and other small pets — and so when the dog came around thecorner, Bobby was quite frightened. The dog was barking and growlingfiercely at Bobby.

f …… Just then, a sweet little girl holding her dolly appeared from the sameplace as the dog. She stroked the dog on his head and said hello to Bobby.‘Does your dog bite?’ asked Bobby.‘Oh, no,’ said the little girl, very innocently, ‘my little doggy doesn’t biteanyone.’

g …… ‘Oh! That’s good’, said Bobby. He went up to the big dog and strokedit on the head …‘Grrr! Grrr!’ barked the dog.‘Aaargh!’ screamed Bobby, as the dog bit him on the bottom.

h …… ‘You said your dog doesn’t bite anyone’, he said to the little girl.‘My little doggy doesn’t bite anyone’, repeated the little girl, ‘but that’s notmy dog!’
