In a Small Town

Text 1

Toscanini was a great musician. He lived in America. One day he came to a very little
town. He was walking along the street when he saw a piece of paper in one of the windows.
He read:

Then Toscanini heard the music. Somebody was playing Tchaikovsky.

“Mrs. Smith is playing,” he thought, “she isn’t a very good musician. She
doesn’t play Tchaikovsky well. I must show her how to play it.”

He went up to the door of the house and rang. The music stopped and soon a woman opened
the door.

“Are you Mrs. Smith?” asked Toscanini. “My name is Toscanini and I want to show

Shmily Text 2

My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game
from the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word
“Shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving
“Smily” around the house, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn
to hide it once more.

They dragged “Smily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to
wait whoever was preparing the next meal. They smeared it in the dew on the windows
overlooking the patio where my grandma always fed us warm, homemade pudding with blue food
coloring. “Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower,
where it would reappear bath after bath. At one point, my grandmother even unrolled an
entire roll of toilet paper to leave Shmily on the very last sheet.

There was no end to the places “Shmily” would pop up. Little notes with
“Shmily” scribbled hurriedly were found on dashboards and car seats, or taped to
steering wheels. The notes were stuffed inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily”
was written in the dust upon the mantel and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This
mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture.

It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game.
Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love- one that is pure and enduring.
However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. They had love down pat. It was
more than their flirtatious little games; it was way of life. Their relationship was based
on a devotion and passionate affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.

Grandma and grandpa held hands ever chance they could. They stole kisses as they bumped
into each other in their tiny kitchen. They finished each other’s sentences and shared
the daily crossword puzzle and word jumble. My grandma whispered to me about how cute my
grandpa was, how handsome an old man he had grown to be. She claimed that she really knew
“how to pick ‘em”. Before every meal they bowed heads and gave thanks, marveling at
their blessing: a wonderful family, good fortune, and each other.

But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents’ life: my grandmother had breast
cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her
every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that color so she
could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside.

Now the cancer was once again attacking her body. With the help of a cane and my
grandfather’s steady hand, they still went to church every morning. But my grandmother
grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. For a while,
Grandpa would go to church alone, praying to God to watch over his wife. Then one day,
what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone. “Shmily. It was scrawled in
yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet. As the crowd thinned and
the last mourners turned to leave, my aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family members
came forward and gathered around Grandma one last time. Grandpa stepped up to my
grandmother’s casket and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Though his
tears and grief, the song came, a deep and throaty lullaby.

Shaking with my own sorrow, I will never forget that moment. For I knew then that,
although I couldn’t begin to fathom the depth of their love, I had been privileged to
witness its unmatched beauty. S-H-M-I-L-Y: See How Much I Love You

Thank you , Grandpa and Grandma, for letting me see.

Text 3

In 1608 an Englishman whose name was Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country
and noted down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found
more interesting than the others. In his diary Thomas wrote, “When the Italians eat
meat, they use small forks. They don’t eat with hands because, as they say , do not
always have clean hands”.

Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks.

At home Thomas gave a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the
servant brought the steak, he took out a fork and began to eat like they did in Italy.

Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what it was, they all
wanted to take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians
were very strange people because the fork was very inconvenient.

Thomas Coryate tried to prove the opposite. He said it was not nice to eat with one’s
fingers because they were not always clean.

Everybody got angry at that . Did Mr. Coryate think that people inEngland always had
dirty hands? And weren’t the ten fingers they had enough for them?

Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first
piece of meat he took with the fork fell to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he
had to take the fork away.

Only fifty years later people in England began to use forks.

thousand years old. Many years ago London was a small town on the Thames. There were a lot
of villages round it. After many years London and three hundred villages grew into a very
large city. Some of the names of those villages are the names of the streets in modern
London-Kensington, Westminster.

business centre. East End includes the poor districts. West of London is the West End
where rich people live.

Square there is the column made of granite. On the top of the column there is a

THE STORY OF MY TROUBLES

From my childhood I was an easily taught and obedient boy. My kindness was so
noticeable that my friends made fun of me. I was especially fond of animals and had a
great number of pets. With these I spent most of my time, and never was so happy as when
feeding and playing with them. My character did not change much when I grew up.

I married early, and was happy to find in my wife a character very much like my own.
Seeing my love for pets she never lost a chance of getting the most pleasant animals. We
had birds, gold-fish, a fine dog, rabbits, a small monkey, and a cat.

This cat was a remarkably large and beautiful animal, quite black and surprisingly
clever. In speaking of his cleverness, my wife, who was a superstitious woman, often
mentioned the old popular belief, which considered all black cats to be in disguise.

Pluto- this was the cat’s name-was my favourite pet and playmate. I alone fed him,
and he followed me everywhere about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could
prevent him following me through the streets.

Our friendship lasted for several years, during which my character (I blush to confess
it) had changed for the worse. I became day by day more moody and irritable. It often
happened that I hurt the feelings of others; I suffered myself as I was rude to my wife.
At last I even hit her.

My pets, of course, could feel the change in my character. In fact, I began to treat
them cruelly. As for Pluto, I held back from cruelty as I did treat cruelly the rabbits,
the monkey, or even the dog when they came in my way. But my illness took hold of me- for
what other illness is like alcohol!- and at last even Pluto ,who was now becoming old,
even Pluto began to feel the effects of my temper.

1. Answer the questions:

1. What kind of pets do they have?
2. What was the cat’s name?
3. What illness had the author?
4. Was he a kind man?
5. How long did their friendship last?

Лиса и Журавль

Когда-то давным –давно Лиса и Журавль были близкими друзьями. Однажды Лиса пригласила Журавля на обед и сказала ему:

-Приходи, дружок! Приходи, дорогой! Угощу тебя от души!

Пришел Журавль к Лисе на обед. Лиса приготовила манную кашу и размазала ее по тарелке. Подает ее на стол да гостя потчует.

— Угощайся вкусным обедом, куманек. Это я сама приготовила!

Журавль клювом тук-тук своим клювом, стучал-стучал – но ни крошки угощения подобрать не мог. А Лиса тарелку облизывала, пока всю кашу не съела.

Когда каша закончилась, Лиса и говорит:

— Не обижайся, дружок. Нечем больше тебя угостить.

— И на этом спасибо, дорогая, — отвечает Журавль. – Теперь твоя очередь ко мне в гости приходить.

Назавтра пришла Лиса, а Журавль приготовил окрошку, налил ее в высокий кувшин с узким горлом и Лису потчует:

-Угощайся вкусным обедом, дорогая кума. Право, нечего больше тебе предложить.

Лиса крутится вокруг кувшина, и лизнет, и понюхает, но даже капли супа не смогла достать. Не лезет голова в кувшин.

Тем временем Журавль своим длинным клювом весь суп и выхлебал. Когда съел все, то и говорит Лисе:

— Не обижайся, дорогая. Нечем больше тебя угостить.

Лиса очень рассердилась, ведь хотела наесться на неделю вперед. Так и ушла несолоно хлебавши.

Как аукнется, так и откликнется! И с тех пор Лиса и Журавль больше не дружат.

The Fox and The Crane

It was long, long ago when the Fox and the Crane were close friends. One fine day the Fox invited the Crane to dinner with her and said to him:

«Come, buddy! Come, my dear! I’ll treat you heartily!”

And so the Crane came to the Fox for the dinner party. The Fox had cooked semolina for the dinner and smeared it over the plate. Then she served it and treated her guest.

“Help yourself to tasty dinner, my dear godfather. That was me who cooked it!”

The Crane went peck-peck with his beak, knocked and knocked but couldn’t pick even a bit of fare. The Fox kept licking the cereal until she had eaten it all.

When there’s no cereal at all, the Fox said,

«Don’t feel offended, buddy. There’s nothing more to treat you”.

«And thanks hereon, dear,” the Crane said, “now it’s your turn to visit me”.

Next day the Fox came, and the Crane made okroshka and poured in into a tall pitcher with a narrow neck and treated the fox.

“Help yourself to tasty dinner, my dear godmother. Honestly, there’s nothing more to entertain you”.

The Fox spinned around the pitcher and licked it and sniffed it but couldn’t extract even a drop of the soup. Her head wouldn’t fit the pitcher at all.

Meanwhile the Crane sucked the soup with his long bill. When everything had been eaten, he said to the Fox,

«Don’t feel offended, dear. There’s nothing more to treat you”.

The Fox got very angry as she hoped to be full up for the whole week along. So she left empty-handed.

And that was a tit for tat! So, the Fox and the Crane hadn’t been friends anymore since then.

The Ant and the Grasshopper

One summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping about in the field, singing and chirping to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, carrying with great effort an ear of corn he was taking to his home.

«Why not come and have a chat with me,» the Grasshopper said, «instead of fussing all day long?». «I am busy saving up food for the winter,» the Ant said, «and that would be better for you to do the same.» «Why bother about cold?» the Grasshopper answered; «we have got a lot of food at present.»

But the Ant went on its supply. When the winter came the Grasshopper got very cold and hungry while it kept watching the ants replete with corn and grain from the stores they had collected and saved in the summer.

Then the Grasshopper understood…

Муравей и Кузнечик

Как-то летним днем Кузнечик прыгал по полю, распевая песни и веселясь от души. Мимо проходил Муравей, с трудом тащивший кукурузный початок к себе домой.

— Почему бы не подойти и не поболтать со мной, спросил Кузнечик, – вместо того чтобы суетиться целыми днями?

— Я готовлю запасы на зиму, — ответил Муравей. – И тебе советую заняться тем же.

-К чему волноваться о холодах? – ответил Кузнечик. – Ведь сейчас у нас так много еды.

Однако муравей продолжил заниматься запасами. И когда наступила зима, замерзший проголодавшийся Кузнечик наблюдал, как муравьи сыты благодаря зерну из кладовых, которые они собирали все лето.

И только тогда Кузнечик все понял…
