            Maria and the Friendly Goat 
            
            This is a heartwarming short story in the past simple tense, with exercises: true/false, match-up and comprehension questions. I think it will suit upper intermediates. I wrote the story and it appeared in Zdenda�s ELM magazine last year. I have now added exercises.
