[showmyads] To achieve this there are a video, a worksheet, a comic and an interactive quiz. I hope you will find them interesting.

If you prefer telling the story yourself, you can use the following comic:

Once you introduce the story, it is time to deal with the language. First, translate the words in the table and then ask the students to read the story again and answer the comprehension questions. Of, course you can play the video instead.
