1. GOOD LUCK, CARL!
Carl Osbourne lives in Glasgow. He ought to be in The
Guinness Book of Records
because he has had a terrible time this year.
The trouble started one fine morning at the beginning
of January when Carl found that
his car had disappeared from his garage. He hasn't
seen it since that time!
In February he bought a new car, but he hadn't had it
for more than two weeks when he
crashed into a lamp-post.
Three days ago Carl sat on a seat that had been
painted only a few minutes before. He
was wearing a brand-new suit that he had bought only
the previous week.
In the summer Carl spent his holiday at the seaside.
When he arrived home, he
discovered that his house had been broken into. His
television and video-recorder had
disappeared.
Now poor Carl doesn't know what he has done to deserve
this bad luck. He just hopes
that his luck will change soon.
