Cool co-workers Now for today’s first feature: I am going to tell you a little bit about my good friends and co-workers, Rachel and Ralph. The ray of sunshine on our staff is the lovely Rainbow Rachel. Her dress is all the colours of the rainbow, and her eyes glow just like the sun! What a pretty rat! She is smart and friendly, too. She loves to talk, and you cannot pass her in the street or in the hallways of Radio Rat Pack without having a nice chat with her. Then there is Reporter Ralph. He is a hard worker and a very friendly rat. He travels around and visits exciting places. This makes for good stories, and he shares them all with us. Stay tuned to Radio Rat Pack and you will learn more about famous places in New York.

Retired Roderick times – tider changed – forandret, endret meet – møte hear – høre remember – huske lost count of – kommet ut av tellingen, her: antallet

FACTS

Female rats can give birth to up to 120 rat babies a year.

Ron: Times have changed since this guy was young. Let’s meet Retired Roderick. Welcome to the show, Roderick. Can you hear me? Roderick: Yes, I can. Nice place! I haven’t been in a studio before. Ron: How old are you, Roderick? Roderick: I can’t remember, but I have more than seventy children. I have lost count of my grandchildren.

10


Ron: How is it, being old in today’s world? Roderick: It’s not too bad, but life was better before. Ron: In what way? Roderick: Less traffic in the streets, the foxes and badgers hung out in the forests and rat poison was not invented. Ron: What about today’s food situation? Roderick: That has really improved! I have never seen so many fat rats before. They look like they all need some exercise. When I was young I had to look for food all day. We fought like dogs to get hold of leftovers. I was as thin as a rake then. Ron: I think you still look rather fit. Roderick: I take a walk every day in my neighbourhood. My fur has become grey, though. Ron: Females find that charming, I am told. Roderick: Do they really? Ron: Yes. But now we have to move on in our programme. After talking to you, the lesson must be: better quick and healthy than slow and wealthy!

Activity What would you like to ask Retired Roderick? How is Retired Roderick’s hearing? How many grandchildren does Retired Roderick have? What does Retired Roderick do every day?

Roger: This is the 9 o’clock news, and we start off with a tragic incident in a clothes shop. The sales are on at the moment, and for customers at the popular shop Ravishing Rags for Rats it turned out to be quite a dramatic experience. We have our own reporter there right now. Over to you, Reporter Ralph. Ralph: Thank you, Roger. I am standing here outside the popular shop Ravishing Rags for Rats, and with me is the owner, Retail Rita. Now, Rita, can you tell our listeners what happened here this morning? And spare no details, please, Rita.

12


Rita: As you know, we have some fabulous dresses and outfits, and with such good prices, there were more than a hundred rats queuing up on the pavement outside. Ralph: Yes, and… Rita: Well, two females were fighting over the same spot in the queue. And then, in all the rattle (sorry, Roger!) and noise, with rats running all over the place, a taxi pulled up, and out stepped a Burmese cat! My customers ran in every direction, and some of them were tragically eaten! Ralph: We still don’t know the exact number of casualties, but there are definitely more than ten. In addition to that, twelve rats have lost either a tail or a paw. Minor injuries include broken whiskers and scratches. And now, back to you, Roger!

fabulous – fabelaktig outfits – antrekk queuing – stille seg i kø pavement – fortau pulled up – ankom tragically – tragisk casualties – skadede addition – i tillegg minor – mindre injuries – skader

FACTS

A rat can live for about five years in captivity. Living in the wild, they seldom reach more than two years of age. A rat’s worst enemies are the cat, the fox, birds, like owls or buzzards, and weasels.

tragedy – tragedie crumbs – smuler accept – akseptere

SPEAKERS CORNER

What do you think about shopping? Discuss. Example: In my opinion, shopping is boring because it takes too much time. In my opinion, shopping is fun because I like having new clothes.

14

Roger: Thank you, Ralph. We will be coming back to this terrible tragedy when we have some more detailed information. Now for the rest of the news. Schools are starting again this week. That means lots of delicious crumbs from lunch boxes, but also a lot of giant feet that can step on you. Children are known to like rats, but sometimes they like us so much that they might want to take a rat home. So if you don’t want to end up as a pet in a cage, be careful not to accept any food from children. It is recommended to keep off the main roads from 8 until 9 a.m. and between 2 and 3 p.m.


throwing up – kaste opp apparently – tilsynelatende attics – loft cellars – kjellere

We have been getting reports of two serious cases of rat poisoning here in New York. Two young rats, known as Rock-bottom Roger and Ringleader Ray, were observed throwing up by the stairs of Central Park subway station. Apparently they had been eating some small, pink pellets that they believed to be sweets. All rats are asked to be careful about what they eat and report any cases of pink pellets occurring in attics, parks, bus stops and cellars. Activity What does Retail Rita sell in her shop? What happened when Ringleader Ray and Rock-bottom Roger found the pink pellets? What is dangerous for rats?

This is the weather forecast from your trusty old weather reporter, Rainbow Rachel. It looks like it is going to be a fine day in New York. There has been some morning haze. Good news for us rats! It makes it harder for cats and foxes to see us when we come home in the morning. I hope you have had just as good a night as I have. I came across some good leftovers last night. I had a real feast! I had fish and chips, a kebab and some potato salad. Anyway, back to the weather. There are still a few clouds, but they are not here to stay. The afternoon will be mostly sunny and warm. Temperatures are going to be between 59 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. There will be no wind today.

20


Things are not looking good for tomorrow. In the morning there will be showers and temperatures between 45 and 60 degrees. The wind will blow from the east at 10 miles per hour. It will begin raining in the afternoon and keep on through the night. So watch out when you cross the street! The water on the roads makes it harder for the cars to stop. We don’t want any accidents. The rest of the week will also be wet and rainy. I think you should all go out and enjoy today. Do your shopping, get your leftovers and stay in for the rest of the week. Ron, the rest of the staff at Radio Rat Pack and I will keep you company! That’s all from me, Rainbow Rachel. Take care!

For or against recycling? debating – diskuterer lovely – nydelig distinguished – stilige, fornemme each – hver create – skape injured – skadet leftovers – matrester

Rattling Ron: In our studio today we have two guests debating recycling. On one side we find the lovely and charming Miss Retail Rita. On the other, our distinguished guest Mr Rich Radcliffe. I will give each of you half a minute to tell the listeners your opinion. Let us start with Miss Rita. Miss Retail Rita: I am against recycling because it can create dangerous situations. Many of us could be injured trying to fight our way to the food. Think how easy it is for the humans to get hold of us. Why should we make it harder for ourselves? Let the humans throw their food and garbage around. That gives us easy access to all their leftovers. I say, vote no! 24


Rattling Ron: I am sure the listeners will be interested in what our next guest has to say about this. Go ahead, Mr Radcliffe. Mr Rich Radcliffe: I am for recycling, because sorting food will mean more quality food. It will mean less paper and garbage to go through. Less chance of getting cut on paper and tin cans and last, but not least, better health. A lot of us are infected by illness, but if we know where the food comes from we can pick and choose. Remember humans are full of disease. So let us pick the healthy and tasty food that will give us healthier children. Rattling Ron: Thank you both for giving us your opinion. Our listeners will now get the chance to call us for Speaker’s Corner and tell us their views on recycling.

Activity What can you recycle? Why do we recycle? What is your view on recycling?

garbage – søppel through – gjennom infected – infisert, angrepet disease – sykdom humans – mennesker

FACTS

Recycling means using products over again. By recycling, there is less stress on nature and its resources.

FACTS

In New York the subway is an underground train system. In London a subway is a tunnel that pedestrians can use to cross a busy road.

Rattling Ron: Let’s start with today’s quiz. Welcome to Rock-Bottom Roger, Ringleader Ray and Ridiculous Rick! Ron: First question: Who is Michael Jordan? Ray: I know. Basketball. He is a famous player! Ron: Excellent, Ray. What is the English name for the Subway? Rick: Isn’t that a fast food chain. I eat there often. Roger: Sorry, I really don’t know.

Ron: Right! Now, the British rats have got Hyde Park and we have got … Ray: Central Park! More questions, please! Time’s almost up! Ron: Correct, Ray! The London rats have the Thames, even if they hardly swim in it, but we have … Roger: The Hudson River. Ron: Very good! Do you know which one is the longer of the two? Roger: It must be the Hudson, everything is bigger and better here in the USA. Ron: What a patriot! But you are right again. The Hudson River is longer than the Thames. Time’s up! We will be back next week at the same time.

A lady with a facelift average – gjennomsnittlig beauty queen – skjønnhetsdronning liberty – frihet facelift – ansiktsløftning hurricane – orkan magnificent – fantastisk, storartet

Rattling Ron: This lady is more than an average princess or beauty queen. This is the majestic Lady Liberty in person! Our pretty lady has had a facelift. She is now ready to welcome new visitors. Ralph Stevens, our trusty reporter, has been to see this lovely lady. And Ralph, I understand that you are in love? Ralph: That’s right, Ron. I have been visiting Liberty Island and the statue here this summer, and she is looking great! The whole place took a bit of a beating during Hurricane Sandy. It was closed for a while, but now, rats, you can come and see for yourselves. Lady Liberty is as magnificent as ever! Ron: A visit is a good idea, Ralph, but I’m sure many of our listeners are wondering how they can get there.

28


Ralph: The stat statue is on Liberty Island, which is a na national park, and the best g there is by ferry. You way to get can take the ferry from New Yor City’s Battery Park, York yo can go from Liberty or you State P Park. Make sure you go when th there are lots of people and long line lines, so you can hide in the crowd. Ron: Ra Ralph, I am sure many of our liste listeners want to know more about th the Statue of Liberty. Where did it come from? Why is it here?

keeps up with – holder følge med teach – lære bort preserve – bevare, verne ferry – ferge long lines – lange køer crowd – folkemengde

29


keeps up with – holder følge med teach – lære bort preserve – bevare, verne

Ralph: The statue was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. It is a symbol of freedom and democracy. It has been in New York since 1886. Ron: The statue is an old lady, but it seems that she keeps up with modern times? Ralph: Yes, of course. For those of you who want to keep updated on the latest news from the Statue of Liberty, she is on Twitter, Flickr and Facebook. Ron: Speaking of the young ones, is there anything interesting for them to see on the island? Ralph: I should think so. Children can join the National Parks’ Junior Ranger Program, where they learn more about historic sites and preservation of them. As it says on the website: “The activities are fun and teach children about the National Park Service, Liberty Island and why this National Monument is important to protect and preserve.”

30


Ron: Thank you for sharing this with us, Ralph. Do you have any warnings for rats who want to explore the island and the Statue of Liberty? Ralph: Yes, I have, Ron. If you visit the statue on a hot day, make sure you drink plenty of water. If it’s hot outside, it’s even hotter inside. Make sure you’re not trampled on, and take your time when you climb the stairs. It is hard work. Ron: Thanks for that, Ralph. You’ll hear more from me tomorrow night. Until then, take care! Activity What do you know about the Statue of Liberty? Why do you think the French gave the statue to the American people? What would you like to see if you travelled to New York?

Ellis Island cellar – kjeller spot – få øye på busy – travel admit – innrømme

Welcome. Today I am reporting from the Rat Museum of Ellis Island. It is situated under ground in the dark cellar of the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. I am waiting for the elderly and charming Miss Roma Ratullah to meet me here at the doorway of the museum. I think I can spot her somewhere in the dark. Miss Ratullah: Hello, hello, is it Ron the reporter, from Radio Rats, I have in front of me? Ron: Yes, it is. Thank you for giving an interview on such a busy day. I have heard that there are many rats coming to visit this interesting museum? Miss Ratullah: Yes, I must admit opening this small museum has been a great success. I hardly have time for lunch when we’re open.

32


Ron: So you are not open every day? Miss Ratullah: No, we are open only Monday to Thursday, from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. The rest of the week we need to prepare for visitors from abroad. Ron: Oh, so you still have visitors from other countries as well? Miss Ratullah: Yes, lots of rats from all over the world come trying to find out what happened to their ancestors. Ron: Are you able to help them? Miss Ratullah: Rarely. We have very few written documents, just a number of old pictures, the terrible rat traps, a barrel, a sack of grains and some tiny bones from some of those who didn’t make it. Ron: Who was the typical immigrant rat? Miss Ratullah: You have to remember that people from several parts of Europe had little or nothing to eat in the 18th and 19th centuries. That also affected the life of rats, and they had to look elsewhere for food. This led them to New York. Ron: They came by ship, why? Miss Ratullah: Well, there weren’t any planes if that’s what you mean. They followed the people, and people travelled by ship. And on board ships there was food. Perhaps not as delicious and tasty as today, but in those days a slice of bread could taste as good as a steak. Ron: I guess you’re right. I find it difficult to imagine what it’s like to be starving, because I have always had plenty of tasty food. Tell me more about this exciting, but sad part of history.

prepare – forberede ancestors – forfedre rarely – sjelden terrible – forferdelige barrel – tønne sack – sekk grains – korn immigrant – innvandrer bones – bein queue – kø affected – påvirket delicious – deilig tasty – smakfull a slice – en skive starving – sulte

33


steamships – dampskip underneath – under storage rooms – lasterom

Miss Ratullah: Well, let’s go into the gallery. Here we have some pictures of some of the steamships, which brought rats to this country. Here you see a picture of the SS England and the SS Adriatic. In this picture, you can see the cabins in which our ancestors sometimes hid. If you look closely, you will discover the tiny rats underneath the woman’s skirt. Many of us rats tried to hide in storage rooms on the ships, where humans rarely stayed.

FACTS

Rats came from Asia. They came by ship to Europe in the 1500s. In the late 1700s they appeared in North America on boats from England.

Ron: Do you mean to say that many didn’t make it? Miss Ratullah: You have to remember it was hard times. Many rats died either from being killed by people on board the ships or falling overboard during storms. Some even starved to death.

Ron: If you survived, what happened when you finally reached Ellis Island?

34


Miss Ratullah: When they reached Ellis Island, they were fortunate to be able to continue their journey, not like the humans who had to be examined first. The authorities didn’t want people who were in poor health or, for some other reason, weren’t fit enough to enter the new world. Rats, however, waited until it got dark and sneaked overboard and could continue their journey. We rats are fortunate to have a good sense of smell. This sense is vital when trying to find safer and better places to stay and food to eat.

Ron: Do you have any lists of the rats that immigrated? Miss Ratullah: No, we don’t. Those making it into the new world had to just trust their own ability to survive, I am afraid. Ron: Why do rats come here to visit then? Miss Ratullah: Well, mostly to hear the story I have been telling you. It is almost impossible to track down family members, because we have so many children in a lifetime. And rats don’t live long. My time is soon over. I hope someone will continue my work, when I’m gone. Ron: Oh! Well, thank you anyway for sharing your knowledge with our listeners. Till next time, goodbye. Miss Ratullah: Thank you for coming and goodbye!

My friend says the rules are stupid anyway. My mother says I should spend more time with my other friends. Does she have the right to tell me who I can play with? Susan, 11

Dear Susan, If your friend really is your best mate, she will respect your parents’ rules. She should know that you didn’t make them. Many kids think their parents are too strict. You should sit down with your parents and have a talk with them. Maybe you can work out some rules you all can live with. Good luck! Sandra 50


Dear Sandra, I really want a dog, but my sister is allergic! Is it ok as long as the dog sleeps in my room? Peter, 10

Dear Peter, I don’t recommend that you get a dog if your sister is allergic. It depends on how strong her symptoms are. Still, you do not want to risk it. What if you get a dog and then have to give it away? I would recommend that you get a different pet instead. Goldfish, tortoises, stick insects and spiders are safer for your sister.

I rehearse every day, both at home and at the theatre. I am also lucky to have a good memory.

Eleven: Would you like to take part in other plays? Anthony: Yes, if I get the chance. Eleven: Would you recommend acting to other children? Anthony: Yes. It is great fun and you get to meet new people. Eleven: What do you need to do if you want a part in a play? Anthony: You have to audition. Each person who hopes to get a part in the play is given a number. Then when it is your turn you sing, dance or read lines as best as you can. Eleven: Is it scary? Anthony: No, but I was a little nervous. I think everyone was. Eleven: Thank you for giving our readers advice, and for the interview. Anthony: You’re welcome.

The Lion King – A Musical Review pride – (løve) flokk savannah – savanne (stor gresslette) proud – stolte

FACTS

The Lion King Musical is based on the Disney animated film. The music is by Elton John and the lyrics by Tim Rice.

Josephine has seen the popular musical The Lion King at New Amsterdam Theatre in New York. She has written a review for Eleven magazine.

The story The Lion King is the story of a pride of lions living on the African savannah. The proud Mufasa is a good king to his pride. Simba is his son.

58


Mufasa’s brother, Scar, is a bitter and jealous soul. With the help of the hyenas, he kills Mufasa. He blames the death on Simba, and sends him out on the savannah, alone. He then proclaims himself king of the pride. Simba feels guilty because of his father’s death. While wandering alone on the savannah, he meets Timon and Pumba. The carefree couple soon expands to a trio when Simba joins them. Years pass and life is hard. Nala, who used to play with Simba when they were cubs, has become a young lioness. Scar’s plan is to make her his mate. Nala is about to give in just to save the flock from disaster, when she suddenly meets Simba again. Together they defeat Scar. The story ends with Simba taking over the throne and making Nala his queen.

jealous – sjalu soul – sjel hyenas – hyenene (afrikanske villhunder) blames – skylder på proclaims – erklærer guilty – skyldig death – død carefree – bekymringsløse couple – par expands – utvider joins – slår seg sammen med cubs – her: løveunger lioness – løvinne mate – make disaster – katastrofe defeat – overvinner throne – trone

59


huge – enorm backdrop – bakteppe glowing – glødende stage – scene

The stage The stage was set like an African savannah. There was a huge sun on the backdrop, glowing as if it was real. Then the African animals came on stage. The elephants, the zebras, the leopard, the hyenas, the birds and the giraffes were all very life-like.

60


The actors The giraffes moved as if they were real. Bicycles were used to introduce a flock of gazelles. When the rhinos moved across the stage, it was hard to understand that inside them were human beings. Everything was performed with such grace you could tell the actors had been practising a lot.

The music The music, the voices and the African songs were wonderful. The African drums, together with the rest of the orchestra, made me feel like I was in Africa. As you must have guessed – I loved it! The only thing to beat this is a real-life safari in Africa!

real – virkelig (ekte) bicycles – sykler human beings – mennesker performed – framført grace – grasiøsitet wonderful – nydelige drums – trommer beat – slå, overgå real-life – virkelig
