Credit Cards
Many businesses, such as department stores, restaurants, hotels and airline companies, use a credit system for selling their products and services. In a credit system, the seller agrees to sell something to the buyer without immediately receiving cash. The buyer receives the goods or services immediately and promises to pay for them later. This “buy- now- pay- later” credit system is quite old. People have been buying things on credit for centuries. But nowadays people use credit cards. There are two types of credit cards. One type is issued directly by a Store to a customer. Many large department stores issue credit cards to their customers. The store credit card can be used to make purchases only at a particular store. The other kind of credit card is issued by a credit company. Credit cards from credit companies can be used to buy things almost anywhere. If you have a major credit card, you can buy airplane tickets, stay at hotels, and eat at restaurants with it. Most large credit companies are connected to large banks. So if you want a credit card from a credit company, you generally have to make an application at a bank. After an applicant receives a credit card, he or she can make purchases, using the card.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf
Once upon a time there was a very naughty shepherd-boy. He often fell asleep while he was watching his sheep. And he told lies. The villagers shook their heads and said, ‘That boy will come to a bad end.’
One day, when he was feeling very bored, the boy decided to play a practical joke on the villagers. He ran down the hill. ‘Wolf, wolf!’ he cried. ‘Help, come quickly. Wolf!’ All the villagers seized their spears and ran to help him. But there was no wolf. ‘He heard you,’ the naughty boy lied, ‘and ran away.’ When everyone had gone, he started to laugh.
Three weeks later, when he was feeling very bored indeed, he decided to play the same trick again. ‘Wolf, wolf!’ he shouted. ‘Help, come quickly. Wolf!’ Most of the villagers hurried to help him. This time the boy laughed at them. ‘Ha, ha… There wasn’t a wolf,’ he said. ‘What a good joke!’ The villagers were very angry. ‘Lies are not jokes,’ they said.
Two days later the boy woke up suddenly. He had fallen asleep in the afternoon sun. What was that big dark animal coming towards his flock? Suddenly it seized a lamb. ‘Wolf!’ screamed the boy. ‘Wolf. Help, come quickly. Wolf!’ But none of the villagers came to help him. He screamed again. The wolf heard him and licked its lips. ‘I like lamb,’ it thought, ‘but shepherd-boy tastes much nicer.’
When the shepherd-boy didn’t come home that night, some of the villagers went to look for him. They found a few bones.
