THE PAXTON FAMILY (Episode 3)

Mrs Paxton: Half-term holiday is starting next week.

How about going to Cornwall for a few

days?

Kelly: Great! Ewa, do you want to go there?

Ewa: Yes, I do but I don’t know anything about

Cornwall. Is it in Scotland?

Kelly: No, it’s in the south-west of England.

Aunt Caroline lives in St. Ives. We often

spend holidays there. She’s got the nicest

house in the town, near the sea.

Mum, are we going to St. Ives?

Mrs Paxton: Yes, you are. Aunt Caroline phoned

yesterday. She invited Ewa and you to

stay with her for a week.

Kelly: Look at these photos. I took them in

St. Ives last year.

Ewa: But there are palms in this photo!

Kelly: Cornwall is the warmest part of England.

You can often see palms there.

Ewa: It’s a nice place, I suppose.

Kelly: Nice? It’s the most fantastic place in the

world. There are many art galleries.

Painters come there from all over the

country because of the beautiful

landscapes.

Kelly: Look at this postcard – there’s a famous

nursery rhyme at the back. Can you

answer the riddle?

As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man

with seven wives.

Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had

seven cats.

Each cat had seven kits. Kits, cats, sacks

and wives.

How many were going to Saint Ives?

Ewa: Oh, dear! Where’s my calculator?
