<i><b>Story 2_A: IT TASTED BETTER THAN A CHICKEN </b></i>

Jack was a young sailor. He was in England, but he was often away
with his ship.

One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neighbors near his mother’s house. They had a pretty daughter, and Jack
soon loved her very much.

He said to her, “My voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I
love you and I’ll marry you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the
<i><b>time. I’ll write to you and send you a present from every port. </b></i>

Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot
from there. It spoke five languages.

When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It
said, “Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a
chicken.”
