You can’t steal the moon
An old man lived in a small hut at the foot of a mountain. He lived a simple life and
had very few possessions. But any kind of house attracts thieves, and one day a
thief came to the old man’s small hut. He wondered what he might find inside and
went up to the door. He looked through the door and discovered that the old man
was not there. ‘What luck!’ he thought, and went quickly into the hut. There was only
one room, and so he could see very quickly that there was nothing at all which he
could steal. There were only one or two pots, a mat on the floor, and some old
clothes.
He was standing angrily in the hut trying to think of what to do next when the old man
returned. ‘You have probably come a long way to visit me here,’ said the old man,
with a smile, ‘and you should not return home empty-handed. I have not got very
much to give, but please accept these clothes as a present.’
The thief was very surprised by this. He took the clothes from the old man, and went
away shaking his head in confusion.
Later that evening the old man sat on his mat looking up at the moon and thinking of
the thief. ‘Poor man,’ he said aloud. ‘I wish I could give him this beautiful moon.’

Read about what she did. Then complete the table after the text and say how much
money she had left.
Candy’s shopping trip
First of all, Candy bought herself a tablet, as she’d wanted one for ages. This cost
1,100 ringgits, but as it was the last one in the shop, and was in the shop window,
she got 10% off. That was good news, but she then had to pay an extra 6% GST.
After that, she went to the market. She bought herself a smart jacket and a matching
skirt for 325 ringgits and a beautiful silk scarf for 80 ringgits. She asked the cashier
to reduce the price by 5 ringgits, and she agreed.
She was hungry, thirsty and tired by now, and so she had a fruit juice and a
sandwich, and this cost her 25 ringgits.
On her way home, she decided to buy some presents for her family. She got her
mum a lovely vase. The retail price was 90 ringgits, but she got it in a sale, and so
got a discount of 15 ringgits. She saw a lovely painting of a sunset. Her dad loves
sunsets. The shopkeeper wanted 180 ringgits, but she persuaded him to sell it to her
for 155 ringgits.
