A2 Short Stories in English (Vol. 1), Learn English With Africa: Beginner Level

When Lions Come to Town and Other Stories.

Charles always meets an old woman when he is going to school. He is not afraid of her and he often talks to her. In fact, she is very friendly to him but rumour has it that she is a witch! However the old lady has a strong wish.

What is it? Read The Old Witch and the Wish to find out. There are also nine other interesting short stories that you can read at your own pace.

My favourite one is When Lions Come to Town . It is about a courageous boy who learns to fight in a clever way with the help of his grandfather. Happy reading!
