A LOVE SECRET

            There was a girl whose father was very jealous. Even so she had a boy friend Who loved her. He wanted to write her about Love. To avoid problems with her father he invented a new kind of letter. He wrote:

            “The great love I had for you

            is gone, and my hate for you                                          vocabulary:

            increases every Day. When I see you                            jealous- possessive

            I feel bad and displeased.                                              to avoid – to keep away

            The only thing I want to do is to                                                         from

            look the other way. I never wanted to                          to increase- to grow

            marry you. I have a heart                                                 displeased- discontent

            to give, but it is not a heart                                              soon- immediately

            I want to give you. Do me a favor and                           and so on - etcetera

            do not try to

            answer this letter.

            I don´t need you.

            Good bye! Believe me,

            don´t think that

            I am still your love.”

            The girl soon understood that she had to read the first line of the letter, and then the third line, and then the fifth line, and so on, till the end of the letter.
