This threads made memory seep thru my veins... Back in those days it was joy reading our textbooks, I remember we used to craft toys with our hands with raw materials from the environment... Nowadays I don't see kids do that anymore, they are glued to the screens. I'd say we stood up and made things happen while now they sit down and watch things happen.

Ralia's story with her step mother was one story that always make me cry then in the primary school!
I pitied her then!
Again,another one which I won't forget is "Lorry driver,Lorry driver,will you take me for a ride?". "Yes,I will take you for a little ride"

Gandoki lived a charmed life.........one of my favorite story. I remember d picture of Gandoki riding a horse nd bearing a sword. Wen i grew older i figured out Gandoki was probably a Jihadist in his days. Donno if i'm ryt.
Also recall the story of the trader who narrated the funny story about hw he eluded some criminals.

=Agbo lives in the town of Lagoon...Mr and Mrs Malaika...Agbo's new camera...Mike and Uloma's wedding # I always prayed I'd look like Uloma and get a handsome husband like Mike when I grow up...lol#

lol @ Mr Alabi's beautiful goat, "she cries meee....everyday cos she's unhappy"

Mr Nobody
I know a funny little man as quite as a mouse, who does the mischief that is done in everybdy's house. There's no one ever sees his face but yet we all agree, tis he who pulls the buttons from our shirts and make the carpet soil, he put damp woods in the fire so kettles cannot boil....

Railway
Children by the railway dancing round, ...cars by the railway....

Can't rember the title if this one though...
Down by the river side the green grass grows.
There sits nene washing her clothes, she sings so sweet.
Playmates won't you come for tea? Come next sunday at half past three. Tea cakes, pan cakes everything you'd see...

Those sweet memories...lol

In my days it was New Oxford English Course (NOEC) from Pry 1-6. This passage readily comes to mind: Mr. Giwa is a trader. He has a store in David's village. His store is full of things to sell. He
sells knives, soap, etc. One day, Mrs. Mary went to Mr. Giwa's shop. (End of first passage, then questions will follow).
