episode 2:Poor Carabas

Carabas was very poor. His roof had holes. His clothes had holes. Even his shoes had holes.

Each morning,Carabas worked in his garden.

"Hello,Carabas"Batista walked by with his donkey. Carabas waved to his brother.

Carabas checked his tomatoes. "Ugh!"He said.Bugs were eating one tomato. Another was rotten.

Suddenlyan apple rolled down from the road. Carabas picked it up. The apple was red and shiny. He licked his lips.

Then Carabas spotted a man with an apple cart. He ran after the cart.

"You dropped an apple." The man thanked him. "You're very honest."

Later, Carabas went into town. He bought a small loaf of bread. Suddenly, he heard music. Carabas peeked inside a cafe. A man was playing a guitar. Carabas closed his eyes. "Beautiful music," he thought.

Nearby some people were talking.

"Did you hear the news?" a man asked. "An ogre came down from the hills." The others gasped.

Carabas gulped. "Where's the ogre now?"

The man shrugged. "Nobody knows," he said.

"Ogres are terrible," a woman said. "I'm locking my door tonight."

Carabas hurried home. He was going to lock his door too.
