Jane’s Dream

Listen to the story and say what Jane’s dream was about?

     Last night Jane went to bed late. She had a nice dream at night. She and her friend Sam were in the magic country. They came to the gates and saw a nice house behind the gates. There was a beautiful garden round the house. But there was a dog near it. And nobody could enter the garden. Suddenly they saw a cloud in the sky. “I say, Mr. Dog! May I enter your garden?” said Jane. “Yes, you may,” answered the dog. “Thank you,” said Jane and they entered the garden. It became dark. They came to the house. There was an old woman on the stairs of the house. “Good evening, Grandmother,” said Sam. “May we enter your house? It is going to rain.” “Yes, you may. I’ll put you to bed.” Soon Jane and Sam were in beds.  In the morning Jane got up and saw her own room.
