1.2 Summer time - why the sea is salty - part 1 (Page 2/2)

English home language grade 3 Page 2 / 2

Whenever the miller wanted salt to take to the market he would say:

"Salt grinder, salt grinder

Grind me some salt

As much as you please."

Then the salt grinder would grind bags and bags of salt. When all the bags were filled to the brim the miller would say:

"Salt grinder, salt grinder

Please will you stop

The bags are all full

Right up to the top."

The salt grinder would then stop. The miller would load the bags onto his cart and sell them at the market. In this way he became a very rich man. Everyone knew he was a rich man but nobody knew about the magic salt grinder. The miller lived in a humble home and did not waste his money.

Now at the market was a lazy good-for-nothing thief. He was too lazy to work and sat at the market place begging for alms. Some folks felt sorry for him and gave him their dried crusts of bread or rotten apples that they could not sell.

The lazy good- for-nothing watched the miller everyday. He saw him bringing loads of bags of salt to market regularly. He noticed how much money the miller was paid for his salt. He thought of a plan!
