One Thousand Dollars by O'Henry

Here's a short story that is on Voice of America. Listen to the short story first. Then... listen and read it. Short stories do not take much time to read but they can convey a powerful lesson through the story. Write a summary of the story. Also, do some research on the computer and write a little something about the author, O'Henry. I'll be back on the 25th. Watch for more little assignments. Enjoy the short story :-)

Here's the link.

Before you read or listen to the story, check out this website. You will find some words (written and spoken) that will prepare you for the short story. Have fun!
