Listening text Hey, y’all, this here is Buford. I come from a big oil town in Texas. Now, y’all need to understand that we ain’t really a state, but a whole ‘nother country. Now let me tell ya a story about when I was just a pup. One hot summer’s day I was swimmin’ with my cousins Little Lester and Big Billy Bob.
We was jumpin’in the water and feelin’ good. Then along comes this catfish ‘bout the size of a house. Well, alright, maybe a little smaller than that. Little Lester starts to thinkin’ it’s goin’ to eat him sure ’nough. Man, you shoulda seen him! He got outta the water fast as lightning and climbed up a tree.
Big Billy Bob and I just laughed and laughed. To this day, Lester won’t go near that place. Hello, everyone, I am Buford’s teacher, Jane, from British. Perhaps you didn’t quite understand everything Buford said. He said that he lives in Houston, a city in Texas.
He wants everyone to know that he doesn’t believe Texas is a state in USA but a different country. Buford says that he would like to tell you a story about him when he was a small child. One hot summer’s day he was swimmin with Big Billy Bob and Lester.
They were jumping into the water, which felt good. Then he says that they saw a catfish almost the size of a house but, he adds, that the catfish was really smaller. Buford says that Lester thought he was going to be eaten by the catfish.
He says, goodness, you should have seen Lester! He says that Lester got out of the water faster than lightning and climbed up a tree. Buford and Big Billy Bob just laughed a lot. To this day, he says, Lester won’t visit that place.
