Ear-Rings For Frankfur

EAR-RINGS FROM FRANKFURT
Stage 2
Do you have any brothers or sisters? They can
sometimes make your life very difficult. If they are
younger than you, then they are always getting into
trouble and needing your help.
And if you know something bad about a person, it is
difficult to forget it. 'Once a thief, always a thief,' people
say. But is that true? Does one mistake make a person
badfor ever? Can't people change?
Jennifer Walton is a nurse. She is quiet and careful and
sensible, but she has a young brother, Richard. Richard
is not careful or sensible. He is always borrowing
money, he never keeps a job for long, he's been in
trouble with the police. Jennifer worries about him a lot.
And when one day the police come asking questions
about him, Jennifer fears the worst.Reg Wright, the author of this story, has taught students
and teachers of English in several countries. He now
livm in Ireland.
