Text A : The Pot of Gold
Ali and Mariam were Bedouin camel farmers. “Too
many camels, too many camels”, said Mariam.
“Not enough camels”, said Ali. The two of them were

One evening there was a gentle tap at the door. A little

One evening there was a gentle tap at the door. A little
man dressed in green asked, “Can I stay here for two
nights?” “Yes,” said Ali.
“No,” said Mariam.
“I can pay”, said the little man. He took two, shiny, gold
coins out of his pocket. “Well?” he asked, “Can I stay?”
“Yes!” responded Mariam and Ali together and for once they agreed about something.
“Good night and good luck!” whispered the little man all in green. Mariam laughed. “We never

The next day Ali saw a big pile of stones in the dunes. He removed some of the stones and

Text B: The Wind
The wind whistles
Through the mighty ghaf trees.
It brings relief from the heat.
It moves this way,
