My brother threw a brick by Mohammed Ali

Read the story with your friend.

	When I was ten years old, I went to the shop and I bought some crisps. When I came home, my little brother said, `Give me some crisps.' I said, `Wait a minute.'
I gave the crisps to my mum. My brother had some little wooden bricks. He threw one of the bricks at me. The corner of the brick hurt my head. Lots of blood came out of my head. I went to the hospital and they put a bandage on my head.

7. Did he have some little wooden bricks?

8. Did he throw one of the bricks at his little brother's head?

9. Did his brother throw one of the bricks at him?
