3. Read the text and match the parts of the sentences.
Last summer, Maisie went to stay with her grandma. Every evening she filled the watering can and went round her grandma's beautiful big garden. One day she was watching a squirrel. It was collecting seeds and running up and down a tall tree. Then she saw a big black and white bird fly into the tree. The girl thought she saw it carrying a gold ring in its beak, so, Maisie went and told her grandma. "Ah, yes," said her grandma. "That was a magpie. Everyone says that magpies are thieves. They take jewellery because they like shiny things." The next day Maisie climbed the tree to look for the bird's nest. What a surprise! Inside there were lots of leaves and grass, but there was also some gold and silver jewelry. Her grandma decided to call the police and a detective came to the house to collect the jewellery.
