3100 I really enjoyed this film. The story begins in New York in the year 3100. It’s about two people who are from the 21st century and who are in the same city 1,000 years in the future. The acting was really good and the story was very interesting. A really great film. ★ ★ ★ ★

Mr right?  Sandra (Jo-Anne Massey) moves to a new city. She is very unhappy because she has no friends. She meets Josh (Alex Smith) and they go for walks, they go out for dinner and she is very happy. Then she discovers that Josh is married! Jo-Anne Massey and Alex Smith act badly in the film. One to miss. ★

The hands

‘The best film this year.’ So I went to see it! I liked watching the two actors - Nell Ash and Peter Brock - because I think they were both excellent. But the story was awful. After only ten minutes, I guessed the end of the film! OK for a rainy day. ★ ★

1 A Stranger in Woodend 

Dave Slatin

Anna

Peter

n Saturday, 31st October, 1964, a man arrived in the village. It was late in the evening. He was looking for somewhere to stay the nigh t. He knocked at a door and a woman opened it. ‘Go od ev ening, m adam ,’ the man said. ‘I’m sorry it’s so late. But can you help me, please? Is there a hotel in this village? I want to stay here tonight.’ The woman laughed. ‘A hotel? Here in Woodend? No, sir, I’m afraid there isn’t.’ ‘W ha t a pity,’ said the ma n. ‘I’m a stranger here. A nd I want to see your village tomorrow.’ Th e stranger was very polite. He was tall and had dark hair. A nd he had strange green eyes. ‘Perhaps Mrs Harrison can help you,’ the woman said. ‘She has a room. Perhaps you can stay with her. Wait a minute. I’ll get my coat, an d I’ll take you th ere.’ Th e w oman took the stranger to Mrs Harrison’s house. Mrs Harrison gave him a room for the night. He was very glad. It was the last nigh t of October and it was cold. Th e ne xt day was Sunday. The m an looked round the village. He was very interested in the history of the village. He m et some of the villagers and asked them th eir names. But he did not visit the church. Th at was unusual. Th e church in Woodend was the most beautiful building in the village. But the stranger was not interested in it. He did no t go to church tha t night with all the villagers. It was the first Sunday evening of November. W hen the villagers came out of the church, the m an had gone. They h ad all liked him. T he ladies had thou ght he was very goodlooking. A few weeks later, he came back. It was the first Sunday in December. The villagers were coming out of church. It was cold and dark. ‘He llo he said.’ ‘I’m back ag ain. I t’s nic e to see you all onc e mo re.’ His next words surprised everyone. ‘Perhaps you can help me,’ he said. ‘I’m looking for a house. I want to buy a house here.’ ‘Here?’ someone said. ‘But why here? Th ere ’s no work in Woo dend for a young man. A ll the young people leave the village. They find work in Lidney, the nearest town.’ ‘I’ll get a job somew here,’ the stranger said. ‘Perhaps in Lidney.’ Th en one o f the villagers told him about old Mr Sm ith’s house. Mr Smith had died in the summer. His house was empty. It was for sale. The house was on the corner of Main Street and Chu rch Lane. ‘I’ll ask about th e house tomo rrow,’ said the young man. ‘Perhaps I’ll be lucky. Goodbye. I’ll see you soon.’ The villagers watched him leave. They all saw his car. It was very  big an d luxu riou s. H e loo ked rich . A few days later, Mr S mi th’s house was sold. And in the middle of

December, the young stranger arrived. He moved into the house and worked very hard. He fixed the roof. He repaired broken windows. He painted and decorated. He ch anged the whole house. But there was a big surprise for the villagers. On the morning of Monday, 21st December, they saw a big sign on the front of the house. And on the sign were these words: THE CORNER SHOP Proprietor: Dave Slatin

 A few weeks later, he came back. The villagers were c oming out of church.

2 The Village Meeting T

he villagers could no t believe it. A shop in Woodend! Everybody talked about it. There was once a shop in Woodend,  bu t it h ad close d tw en ty years ago. Some people wanted the shop, but others did not. The villagers met in the evening in the village hall. Everybody was there. Everybody was interested in the new shop. ‘The Corner Shop  is a good idea,' someone said. ‘We ne ed a village shop. We won’t need to go to Lidney.’ Then Mrs Harrison spoke. She liked the stranger, Dave Slatin. ‘I agree,’ she said. ‘A village sh op is a good idea. I t’s too qu iet here. Wooden d needs a shop.’ ‘No nsen se,’ said Miss Brown. S he was the village schoolteacher. ‘Lidney is not far away. Ther e are lots of shops th ere.’ Soon everybody was shouting. T hen Mr H art spoke. H e was a very big man, with a loud voice. ‘Listen, everybody!’ he sh outed. ‘We’ve never had trouble in this village before. We ’ve always been quiet a nd happy. No w this shop is causing trouble.’ ‘Let Mr S latin speak ,’ someon e said. ‘It’s his shop. Let him speak.’ ‘Ladies and ge ntlem en,’ said Dave Slatin. ‘I don ’t w ant to cause any trouble. I’m still a stranger in your village. But I want to be one of you. I want to be your friend. I like the people of Woodend!’ He smiled and a few7people clapped. They liked him. ‘The  Corner Shop  will sell lots of things,’ he we nt o n. ‘It will sell food and things for the house. Everything will be cheap, I promise!’ Everybody was listening carefully. ‘And I have another idea,’ he continued. ‘I’ll sell village products.’ ‘W ha t do you me an by “Village products” ?’ asked Miss Brown. ‘I’ll tell you, Miss Brow n,’ he said. ‘I know t h at you ma ke beau tiful  bre ad an d cak es.’ Miss Brown smiled. Yes, she did make bread a nd cakes. Everyone knew that. ‘A nd you, Mr H art, I’ve seen yo ur flowers. You grow beautiful flowers.’  No w M r H ar t sm iled. Yes, h is flowers wer e b eau tifu l. Everyone knew abo ut them. ‘An d Mr E verett makes pots,’someone said. ‘A nd Mrs Davies makes dolls,’ said ano ther voice. ‘A nd I do painting s of th e village,’ said old Miss Lucy Gray. ‘Yes,’ said Dave. ‘You can all do something. You villagers are clever. You make lots of things. We can sell them to the tourists. In the summer, Woodend can make a lot of money!’ ‘But wh at abo ut the money?’ said Mr Ha rt. ‘How will you pay us?’ ‘T ha t’s a good qu esti on, ’ said Dave. ‘An d h ere ’s the answ er. You’ll  bri ng you r t hin gs to me an d I’ll sell th em for y ou. I’ll kee p som e o f the profit. You’ll have the rest.’ ‘W ha t a good idea!’ said Miss Brown. ‘Yes, I agree!’ said Mr Ha rt. All the villagers agreed. Everyone in the village was happy with Dave S latin ’s plan. The Corner Shop  opened on Monday, 4th January, 1965. Soon the shop was busy and Dave needed an assistant. Th e new assistant in The Corner Shop was An na. S he started work in la te January.

The villagers met in the evening in the village hall. Everybody was there.

3 The Corner Shop D

ave Slatin kep t his promises. Things at th e shop were good and cheap. ‘How does he do it?’ asked Mrs H arrison. ‘It’s winter, bu t he ’s selling lots of fruit and vegetables. An d th ey’re cheap. I nev er go to Lidney now.’ Th e o ther villagers agreed. The Corner Shop was a success and Dave seemed happy. He paid An na good wages. Sometimes he r friend, Peter, helped at the shop and Dave gave him money too. Dave advertised in newspapers and the village products sold well. People from Lidney came to The C orner Shop. There were lots of visitors and Woodend became more interesting. T he villagers were surprised, but pleased. Th ey were making a lot o f money. Dave lived alone, in a flat above the shop. He was very popular in the village, but n o one ever went to h is flat. No o ne ever saw inside it. A t the bottom of the stairs there were two doors. One led into the stockroom. The other door had a n otice on it: SPECIAL ORDERS ONLY: KEEP OUT Th e door was always locked. An na never went in to th e Special Orders room.

‘Wh y do y ou lock th at room , Dave?’ A nn a asked one day. ‘W ha t’s in there?’ ‘It’s for special o rders,’ he replied. ‘Big orders.’ ‘But you w on’t get any big orders in W ood end,’ said Anna. Dave said nothing. He did no t want to talk about th at room.

The new assistant in The Corner Shop was Anna. Sometimes her friend, Peter, helped at the shop.

91

F

or three m onths, everything was normal. Then , one day in April, an unusual customer came into the shop. The new customer was a very beautiful woman. She was wearing expensive clothes and arrived in a large car. ‘Is this The Corner ShopV   the woman asked. She looked round and seemed a little surprised. ‘Yes,’replied A nn a. ‘Th is is The Corner Shop.  It’s the only shop in the village.’ ‘I’m looking for Mr S latin, th e ow ner of the sh op,’ said the woman. ‘I thin k h e’s ups tairs,’ said A nn a. ‘I’ll go and get him. Does he know your name?’ ‘Yes, I thin k so,’ was the reply. ‘Tell him . . .’ Th e w oman stopped. ‘Tell him Miss Gordon is here. Miss Greta Gordon.’ A nna was amazed. ‘Are you G reta G ordon, the film star?’ ‘Yes, th at ’s righ t.’ The woman smiled, but she was nervous. ‘Wa it a minu te,’ said A nna . ‘I’ll tell Mr Slatin t ha t you’re here .’ A nn a ran to the bottom of the stairs and called ‘Dave! Dave! Th ere ’s someone to see you!’ ‘W ho is it?’ asked Dave from upstairs. ‘Miss Gre ta Gord on!’ shouted A nna. ‘It’s Greta Gordon! The film star!’ ‘I’m com ing!’ he said, and he came do wn immediately. ‘I’m pleased to me et you, Miss Go rdon ,’ he said. ‘Good m orning,’ said Greta G ordon. She and Dave shook hands. She had beautiful hands and she was wearing beautiful diamond rings! A nn a had never seen so many diamonds before. Miss Gordon looked round. ‘Is this where you work, Mr Slatin?’ she asked. Once again, she seemed nervous. ‘Yes,’ said Dav e. ‘It’s a small place, bu t i t’s big eno ugh for me. Please follow me, Miss Gordon.’ A nna was surprised. Dave and Greta Go rdon did not know each other. He did not call her ‘Greta’, and she did not call him ‘Dave’. He seemed to be in a hurry, and she seemed to be frightened. An na watched them. Dave and Greta Gordon went to the back of the shop and into the Special Orders room. Greta Gordon was a Special Order customer! Anna thought that was very strange. She wan ted to tell someone abou t Greta Gordon. Anna loved films. She wanted to tell Peter about the film star. But she had to stay in the shop. Ten minutes later, G reta Go rdon came o ut of the Special Orders room. Dave went straight upstairs and G reta Gord on came to the front of the shop. The film star looked terrible! She was pale. She was crying. Her eyes were red w ith tears. ‘W ha t’s wrong?’ asked An na. ‘Ca n I help you, Miss Gordon? ’ ‘No, thanks . I’m all right,’ said Greta G ordon . ‘Do you w ant to sit down?’ said Anna. She got a chair and the film star sat down. ‘Sha ll I get the doctor?’ said Anna . ‘No! N o!’ said Greta. ‘Please tell no one abou t my visit here. Please tell no one.’ An na was disappointed. She wanted to tell everyone about Greta Gordon. She w anted to tell everyone about her famous customer.

92 

‘I want to give you somethin g,’ said Greta G ordon . ‘He re’s a photo grap h of me. I’ll sign it.’ She signed the photograph an d gave it to Anna. ‘Please keep this,’ said Greta. A n d please keep our secret. Please don ’t tell anyone .’ ‘All r ight,’ said An na. ‘I promise.’ Th e film star kissed Anna. She held A nna ’s hands. W hat a beautiful woman, though t Anna. A nd w hat beautiful hands! Then Anna noticed something. The diamond rings were gone.

Then, one day in April, an unusual customer  came into the shop.
