Online Class Notes (Jesse)

Reading

Mr Bean is in the library and he reads a book and he sees a family tree, and a woman tells him “be quiet” and points to a “be quiet” sign. Mr Bean also tells to Teddy to be quiet and (he) starts to draw Teddy’s family tree. When Mr Bean is drawing the family tree, he hears a loud sound from the marker and he looks around because he doesn’t want to annoy / bother other people. He shows the family tree to Teddy and he also draws his family tree and the owner of the library sees it and then she points at the people in the pictures and says they look like Mr Bean and they always hold a teddy. He sees there is big castle in Bean’s family so he’s happy and he drives the car to the castle. When he drives the car he looks at a map but he drives to wrong way on the way to scotland. He crosses the border to scotland and when Mr Bean arrives at the castle and he knocks on the door and it’s come an old man comes out of the house and then he sees Mr Bean and he faints because he thinks he is their son.
