IN A COUNTRY INN

After Jerome K. Jerome One day, when George, Harris and I were talking, George remembered a very funny thing that had hap pened 1 to his father when he was young. His father was travelling with another young man through Wales, and, one night, they stopped at a little inn. There were some other young men there and Geor ge’s father and his friend joined them and spent the eve ning with them. They had a very pleasant evening, and sat up late2. When time came to go to bed they (George’s father and his friend) were a bit tipsy3. They were to sleep 4 in the same room, but in different beds. They took a candle with them, and went upstairs. Unfortunately the candle went out when they entered the room, and they had to undress and to find their way to the beds in the dark. It so happened that they both climbed into the same bed, but from different sides, and were lying one with his head, and the other with his feet on the pillow. There was a silence for a moment, and then George’s father said: “Joel” “What’s the m atter5, Tom?” asked Joe from the other end of the bed. “Why, there’s a man in my bed,” said George’s father. “His feet are on my pillow.” “Well, it’s very strange, Tom,” answered the other, “but there is a man in my bed, too!” “What are you going to do with him?” asked Geor ge’s father. “Well, I’m going to kick him out,” answered Joe. “So am I,” said George’s father. There was a short struggle and then a heavy bump, as if two bodies fell down on the floor.

He asked his housekeeper to post him all letters that she would receive 1 during his absence. She promised him to do that. The Englishman rested very well. A month passed but he received no letters. He thought it strange and he rang up his housekeeper: “Why didn’t you post me my letters?” “Because you didn’t leave me the key of the letter box,” was the reply. 26

The Englishman apologized and promised to send her the key. In some days he put the key into an envelope, wrote down his address on it and posted the letter. Another month was passing but still he did not re ceive any letters. When at the end of the month he returned home he spoke angrily with his housekeeper.

After Jerome K. Jerome When you decide to go on leave, the usual luggage question arises. The best way 1 is to make a list of things before packing. I taught my friends how to make that list; I learned it myself many years ago from my Uncle Podger. “Always before you begin to pack,” my Uncle usually said, “make a list.” He was a methodical man. “Take a piece of paper,” he always said, “put down on it everything you want to have with you; then read it. Imagine yourself in bed: what do you wear? Very well, put it down, together with a change. Then you get up: what do you do? — Wash yourself. What do you wash yourself with? — Soap; put down soap. Go on 12 till you finish. Then take your clothes. Begin at your feet: what do you wear on your feet? — Boots, shoes, socks; put them down. Go on till you get to your head. What else do you want besides clothes? — A little brandy; put it down. A corkscrew; put it down. Put down everything, then you don’t forget anything." That is the plan he always followed himself. When the list was made, he usually looked it through carefully, to see that he did not forget anything. Then he looked it through again, and stroke out everything he could do without3. Then he usually lost the list.

As you know, Balzac, the famous French writer, was a man of great talent. But he had a strange habit: he liked to tell a person’s character by his or her hand writing. He was very proud of this ability and often boasted of it among his friends. One day his woman-friend 1 brought him an exercisebook of a young, man and said: “My dear friend, I want to know what you think of this boy’s character. Don’t be afraid to tell me the truth, he is not my son.” Balzac was very glad to demonstrate his ability again and began studying the handwriting. After some minutes of hard work he said: “All right, I’ll tell you the truth. The boy is a bad and lazy fellow.” “It is very strange,” said the woman smiling. “This is a page from your own exercise-book, which you used when you were a boy.”*V I. 1 woman-friend — приятельница VI.

Three times they returned home with wonderful stories of diffi culties which they had to go through К The fourth time Hudson set out from England in a boat called “The Dis covery.” He explored Hudson Strait and Hudson B ay12 and named them after himself, as the first man to disco ver them.

They tied Hudson, his little son, and a few others, placed them in an open boat and left them in an icy sea, far from help, without food and water. Nobody heard about the little boat and its starving crew, and Hudson, this brave explorer died tragically in the waters of the bay which he himself discovered. 1 they had to go through — через которые они вынуждены были пройти 2 Не explored Hudson Strait and Hudson Bay — Он исследовал Гудзонов пролив и Гудзонов залив

THE ISLAND OF IONA Iona is a small island in the North Sea, not far from the coast of Scotland. The people who live there are fishermen and farmers. “Elizabeth” — that’s the name of the ship which brings goods for them. Sometimes this ship brings visitors too as there is a very old Abbey on the 43

island, which was built many centuries ago. People come to Iona from different parts of the country to have a look at the Abbey. The painters like to paint pictures on the island, be cause Iona is so beautiful. The best season on the island is summer — the sun shines and it is very warm. But autumn and winter are very cold there — the sea is rough, the weather is stormy, the wind blows and it often rains. Life on the island is quite different from that in England and Scotland. There are no big houses and large stores there— only some small farms, one fishermen’s village and one shop. There is only one motor-car on the whole island, but almost every family there has a boat. There is neither electricity nor gas on the island — the islanders use candles or oil lamps to light their houses. There is even no running water *11there, so the people have to take water from wells.

One of them had a dog. “See here *, John,” one of the men said. “I am going to put this coin here in the ground. I know my dog will find it.” He put the coin in the ground on the road. Then the two friends went on. In half an hour the man took out the coins he had in his pocket and said to his dog: “I lost a coin, Rex. Go and look for it, quick!” The dog ran back along the road and the two friends went on. At that time a traveller drove along the road. His horse kicked the coin from the ground and the traveller picked it up. The dog scented out the coin in the pocket of the traveller’s trousers and ran after him. Soon they came to an inn. The traveller thought: ‘Poor dog. It lost its master.’ As he liked the dog very much he took it to his room and gave it a good supper. Then the traveller took off his clothes. He put on his pyjamas and his night cap and was ready to go to bed. The dog stood at the door. The man thought: “The dog wants to go out,” and he opened the door. The dog snatched the man’s trousers and ran out of the room. The man ran after it with his night cap on. The dog ran to its master’s house. The man ran after it. He was very angry. “Sir,” said the dog’s master, “my dog is very clever; and if he ran away with your trousers, it is because you have in them money which is not yours.” 47

The traveller became still more angry. “I am sorry12I.,” said the other, “but I know there is in your trousers pocket a coin which you picked up on the road. It’s my coin. That’s why my dog brought me your trousers.”

The traveller was amused. He laughed together with the dog’s master. Then he took out the coin and gave it to him. He took his trousers and went to his inn. 1 See here — Послушай 2 I am sorry — Простите

ON “DO’S AND DON’TS” 1 IN GREETINGS AND IN ADDRESSING PEOPLE When visiting Great Britain for the first time it is necessary to know most of the “do’s and don’ts.” Here we are going to speak about the forms of greetings. The very formal “How do you do?” is not a question, that’s why it doesn’t require any other answer than “How do you do?” This form of greeting is used when you are introduced to someone or if you meet someone for the first time. If you often meet someone you usually say “How are you?” The answer to such a greeting must be short, for example: “Very well, thank you, and how are you?” But that is not all. You can, of course, say “Good morning” on entering or leaving, for example, a shop or an office in the morning. You can say it till noon (till about 12 o’clock in the afternoon). Till about 6 o’clock in the evening you say “Good afternoon,” and from that time on “Good evening.” But all these are rather formal greetings. If you meet a friend of yours2 you may just say “Hallo, Sergei” or “Hallo, Mary.” The manner of addressing people in Britain is quite different from ours. First of all never use the words “sir” or “madam” while speaking with equals. A usual form of addressing people is “Mr. Smith,” “Mrs. Smith.” But you must re member that “Mrs.” is the form of addressing a married woman, while “Miss” is used for not married woman. The next rule to be remembered is about shaking hands. British people avoid shaking hands as much as possible. They shake hands with you when they meet you for the first time or when they leave you for long 3. And 3*

remember that it is always the visitor who offers his hand first, even if the person visited is a woman. 1 On “do‘s and don’ts” — О том, htq 2 a friend of yours ■=- ваш приятель 8 for long — надолго

A BROKEN VASE This is an old story about a poor young man who was in love with a rich beautiful girl. They both lived in London. The girl’s house, a big comfortable house, was situated in a quiet street near an old park. The young man lived on the outskirts of the city in an old wooden hut near the docks. One day the girl invited the young man to come to dinner on her birthday. The young man wanted to make 54

There were many fine things there: rings, watches and what not. But all of them were very expensive. Then he saw a vase, it was so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off к That was a good present for his sweetheart, but it was also rather expensive. As he was looking at the vase for about half an hour, the manager of the shop had noticed him 12. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager understood every thing and decided to help him. He showed the young man another vase broken into many pieces and said: “I shall order my servant to pack it and take it to your sweetheart. When he enters the house he will fall down and drop it. The girl will think that the servant broke the vase.” On the birthday the servant came to the girl’s house and fell down as soon as he entered the room full of people. There was horror on the faces of the guests, the girl began to cry. But when she unpacked the vase everybody saw that each piece was packed separately.

FAMOUS NEGRO SINGER One day about thirty years ago, in a forest near Hel sinki, Marian Anderson sang some songs for Jean Sibe liu s— his own songs — and when she finished, he threw out his arms around her 1 and cried: “My roof is too low for you!” Then he called to his wife: “No coffee, but cham pagne!” 58

Marian Anderson was born in a poor Negro family in South Philadelphia. At the age of eight she made her first public appearance, singing a solo hymn in a Bap tist church. Of this performance she says modestly: “It was not such a great event.” She was the first Negro singer permitted to #sing in the Metropolitan Opera House, America’s greatest opera house where only foremost singers, invited from all parts of the world, perform. “I was not pleased with my first perfomance there,” says Marian Anderson. When “the Daughters of the American Revolution” (America’s most conservative organization of women) refused to let her give a concert in Constitution Hall be cause she was a Negro, she was invited to sing at the national monument of Abraham Lincoln who fought all his life for the emancipation of the Negroes. Many thousands of people came there to hear her, and on the platform behind her were cabinet members12, and many senators and representatives. That was called the greatest event in the slow march of the American Negroes to full equality as citizens, and Marian Anderson was its protagonist. The fame of Marian Anderson is securely established, not only in America, but throughout most of the world, as a remarkable artist, and extraordinary personality, and a woman of great dignity and character. 1 he threw out his arms around her — он обнял ее 2 cabinet members — члены правительства

ONE IS DROWNED Once twelve men went out fishing. Some of them were fishing from the bank of the river and some of them from a boat in the middle of the river. When the day was over and evening came, they all gathered on the bank to go home. “Twelve of us went out fishing this morning,” said one of the fishermen, “and I think there are twelve of us to go home.” “We shall count and see,” said another man. He counted his friends but he forgot to count himself and there were only eleven fishermen. “Let me count,” said the third fisherman. So he began to count the fishermen and again did not count himself. Then each man counted and made the same mistake. “One of us is drowned! Let us go back to the river!” they cried. At that moment a man was passing by. He heard the cries and asked: “What is the m atter]? Why are you crying?” “Twelve of us went out fishing this morning and one of us is drowned, there are only eleven of us now,” said one of them. “What will you give me if 1 find your twelfth man?” asked the man. The fishermen took all the money they had and put them into a bag. “See,” they said, “you will have all this if you find our twelfth friend.” “Now,” he said, “come round me and 1 shall find your twelfth man.” They came round him and he began to count: “Onetwo-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten-eleven- twelve! Here is your tweltfh man!” “Thank you very much,” cried the fishermen, “you found our friend for us!” And they gave him the bag of money. The man took it, with a laugh and went away. The fishermen looked at each other and asked: “Why did he laugh?” They could not understand.1 1 What is the matter? — В чем дело? (Что случилось?)

ON CATS AND DOGS After Jerome K. Jerome How I suffered from them this morning nobody can tell! It began with Gustavus Adolphus... Gustavus Adol phus— they call him “Gusty” downstairs — is a very good dog when he is in the middle of a large field, but our

house is too small for him. He stands up — and two chairs fall on the floor; he just moves his tail — and all the things fall down from the table. At dinner-time he usually lies under the table. He lies there for some time and then stands up suddenly. The table moves: we all try to keep it in a horizontal po 67

sit ion; Gustavus Adolphus struggles, and at last 1 upsets the table with the dinner on it. This morning he came into «the room in his usual style — that of an American cyclone — and first of all upset my coffee cup. I rose from my chair and called him, but he ran to the door. At the door he met Eliza, who was coming in with eggs. Eliza said ‘‘Ugh!’’ and sat down on the floor. The eggs fell on the carpet and Gustavus Adol phus left the room. I went after him and told him to go downstairs. Then I came back and finished that what was left of my breakfast. When I looked into the passage ten minutes later, Gustavus Adolphus was sitting at the top of the stairs. 1 told him to go downstairs, but he only barked. Why didn’t he go down? I went to see. It was Tittums. She was sitting on the first step of the stair and the dog was afraid to pass her. Tittums is our little cat. She is very small, but dogs are afraid some times of even very small cats. I put Tittums into my pocket and went back into my room. I sat down to work and forgot about her for a mo ment. But when I looked up I found that she was sitting on my table and was trying to eat my pen. Then she put her leg into the ink-pot and upset it. I put her down on the floor, and there Tim began to quarrel with her. Tim is our two-year-old fox-terrier. Then Tittums’ mother came in and they began to quarrel all three. I was very glad to see them, but I wanted to con tinue my work. So I put them, all three, into the passage. Life with them is sometimes difficult but, in general2, I like cats and dogs very much. They are very good com panions. They are better friends than men. They do not quarrel with you. They never talk about stupid things. They never ask you stupid, questions. They never say any bad things to you. They never tell you of your mistakes. They never ask if you are rich or poor, stupid or clever, good or bad. They are always glad to see you. They are really good friends. Yes, it is good to love animals, but you must not go too far in this. I knew a family where the dog was the central figure of the house. They always spoke about what “dear Fido” did, does, can do, cannot do, must do, was doing, will do, will not do, and so on. The poor dog had not a free minute 68

for himself. Such a stupid love only spoils the good na ture of animals. 1 at last — в конце концов 2 in general — вообще говоря

I THE COUNTRY MOUSE AND THE CITY MOUSE

An African Tale One day a city mouse met a country mouse in the field. The country mouse was eating grains and ground nuts. “Hallo, friend!” the city mouse said. “Hallo!” answered the country mouse. “Why do you eat such bad food?” asked the city mouse. “I always eat only good food and as much as I want “Do you work hard to get your food?” “No, I don’t work at a ll2.” The country mouse was surprised. “Is that so?3” she asked. “Surely. Come with me and see. You will like every thing in the city. You will never think of this field again and you will never want to come back.” The country mouse wanted very much to see the place where her friend lived. She went together with the city 71

mouse. They walked and walked. At last they came to the city. There were many big and small houses in the city and the friends went into one of them. “There is a room in the house,” "said the city mouse, “where the people keep bread and other food. Let’s g o 4 there.” There was a lot of food in the room. The country mouse was very glad. “So much food! I can’t believe my eyes!5 What shall we begin with?” she asked. “Come on!6 Let’s have dinner. You may take what you like,” the city mouse said. They started to eat. At this moment they heard the sound of people’s voices. “Run! Run away quick!” the city mouse cried in fear. And they both ran away very fast. When they stopped at last, the country mouse turned to her friend. “Oh, my heart was in my-mouth7,” she said, “I was very much afraid. I am going back to the field to eat the bad food without fear. I think it is better to be poor and happy than to be rich and live in fear.”*1 1 as much as I want — сколько захочу 2 at all — совсем 3 Is that so? — Неужели? 4 Let’s go — Пойдем 5 I can’t believe my eyes! — He могу поверить своим глазам! e Come on! — Пошли! 7 my heart was in my mouth — у меня душа ушла в пятки (я очень испугалась) У п р аж н ен и я I.

The police began to look for the thief. In two days they found him. They brought him to the police station and found some of the money in his coat. There was a new policeman at the police station, and they wanted to give him some work. “Take this thief to the city,” said one of them. “You must go there by train and it goes very soon. Don’t be late.” The policeman and the thief went to the station. On their way they came to a shop where bread was sold. “We have no food, and we must eat something in the train,” said the thief. “It’s a long way to the city and it will take us much time to get there. I’ll go into this shop and buy some bread. Then you and I can eat it in the train. Wait here for me.” The policeman was glad. “I’ll have some food in the train,” he thought. “Be quick,” he said to the thief. “We haven’t much time.”. The thief went into the shop, and the policeman waited in the street for a long time. He began to worry. He thought about the train, and at last he went into the shop. “Where’s that man who came in here to buy some bread?” asked the policeman. “Oh, he went out by the back door,” said the shop keeper. The policeman ran out but he could not see the thief. So he had to go back to the police station and tell the others about it. They were very angry with him, and he was very unhappy. All the police of the town began to look for the thief again, and they soon caught him. They brought him back to the police station and called the same police man. 75

“Now,” said one of them, “take him to the city, don’t lose him again.” The policeman and the thief went to the station, they came to the same shop. “Wait here,” said the thief. “I want to go into shop anti buy some bread.” “Oh, no,” said the policeman. “You did that once, you ran away. This time, I’ll go into the shop and the bread, and you must wait here for me.”

“How can I do it?” asked Larry. “It is very easy,” said his friend. “Tomorrow I shall invite her for lunch to a restaurant in our street. At 12 o’clock you will drop in. Of course, I’ll see you, in vite you to our table and introduce you to miss Fergu so n — that’s her name. I shall ask you to sit down at our table with us. Then I shall begin talking about myself. And every time I mention anything that belongs to me you will interrupt me and begin to swell me. That’s all. So you boost and boost until she believes that I am a millionaire. “All right,” said Larry. “Leave it to m e4.” Next afternoon Larry entered the restaurant. His friend was having lunch with a girl there. He called Larry and introduced him to miss Ferguson. Then he invited Larry to take a seat at their table. “I was telling miss Ferguson,” began Larry’s friend, “that last Sunday I was out at my little place in the country...” “Little place in the country — huh!” Larry broke in. “Listen to that, lady, he calls it a place in the country! It is an estate, that’s what it is!” • His friend smiled and went on. “No m atter5, old man, so I was out there at my shack...” “Shack, huh?

As far as I know, you have five or six maids and some but lers.” “All right, let it be one of the maids,” said his friend, “and 1 told her to bring me some hot water, sugar and a little whisky.

THE DUEL

After N. Tikhonov The German airman was studying the movements of his prey: a narrow yellow strip marked the railway line that ran through a green wood, and the Soviet train was crawling slowly along between the trees. As the train left the cover of the woods, the aircraft dived. Two fountains of mud and earth rose into the air at the point where the train was some moments ago. As the German plane rose into the air, its pilot saw: the So viet train steamed hurriedly back into the forest again and did not advance into the open. The fascist pilot described another circle and thought: “Next time you will not get away from me so easily.” The train was already racing across the open field. The plane dived again. And yet the bombs missed the train. The German pilot took a good look at the countryside and carefully estimated the distance between him and the train. Once more he dived steeply from out of the clouds and almost touched the ground before he dropped his bombs. It seemed as if he must crash into the locomotive. At the last moment, however, he got the impression that somebody pulled the (rain away from him. The explosion 84.

of the bomb sounded loudly in his ears, but he felt in stinctively that he missed again. He gained height and looked dow n— sure enough the train was continuing its way forward. The German airman was mad with rage. He made more and more attacks on the train. At last he was sure of his mark, the locomotive driver made his first mistake,— he stopped in the open,— but he had no more bombs left. He flew the length of the long goods train and showered it with machine-gun bullets. The German leant back in his cockpit exhausted. The sky was clear, and a bright sun was shining. It was a.beautiful, mild autumn morning. He had no more am munition left. The duel was over. The Russian down below him won. The long goods train, loaded with munitions for the Soviet Army, continued its way to the front. Упражнения I. Переведите следующие предложения:

THE JUMPING FROG

After Mark Twain There was a fellow, Jim Smiley by name. He was very fond of betting1. If there was a dog-fight, he bet on it; if there was a chicken-fight, he bet on it; if there were two birds sitting on a fence, he bet on them. One day he caught a frog and said: “I shall educate him.” He called his frog Daniel Webster, was very proud of him, kept him in a little box and carried him to the village for some bet. Daniel Webster was a gifted frog, and Smiley taught him to jump so high that he outjumped any other frog. But Jim was modest and natural. One day a stranger saw Smiley with his frog and asked him: “What have you in that box?” “It is only a frog,” Smiley answered. The fellow took Daniel, examined him carefully, turned him from one side and from the other and asked again: “What is he good for?” “Well,” Smiley answered, “he is good enough for one thing: he can outjump any other frog in the Calaveras county. And I’ll bet forty dollars,” he continued, “he will do it.” “I am a stranger here,” the fellow answered “and I have no frog; but if I had one, I could bet you.” “Well, it is very easy,” Smiley cried out; “if you hold my box a minute, I’ll go and get you a frog.” The stranger took the box, put his forty dollars upon those of Smiley and sat down to wait. While Smiley was away looking for a frog, the fellow got Daniel out of the box, opened the frog’s mouth, took a teaspoon and filled him with shot; then he put him down upon the floor. At last Smiley came back with another frog. “Now,” he said to the stranger, “if you are ready, put him near Daniel with their forefeet upon the same line and I’ll give the signal. One, two, three — advance!” They pinched the frogs from behind. The new frog jumped smartly, but Daniel only lifted up his shoulders and did not jump. The fellow took the money and went away. 88

Smiley was surprised. At last he took Daniel by the skin of the neck lifted him up and cried: “Why, he weighs five pounds!” He turned Daniel upside down, and there came out of the frog’s mouth a double handful of shot. Then he understood all. He set the frog down and ran after that fellow, but he never caught him. 1 заклад.

After O. Henry The girl in grey came again to that quiet corner of the small park. She sat down upon a bench and began to read a book. Her dress was grey and simple. Her face was very beautiful. She came there at the same hour yesterday, and 91

the day before yesterday, and there was a young man who knew it. The young man came near. At that moment her book fell on the ground. The young man picked up the book, returned it to the girl, said a few words about the weather, and stood waiting. The girl looked at his simple coat, common face, and said: “Sit down, if you like', the light is too bad for reading, let’s ta lk 2.” “Do you know,” he said, “that you are very, very fine? I saw you yesterday.” “Don’t forget that I am a lady,” said the girl in an icy tone. “I beg your pardon3,” said the young man, “you know — there are girls in parks, you know,— that is, of course, you don’t know, but...” “Let’s change the subject. Of course, I know. Now tell me about these passing people. Where are they going? Why do they hurry so? Are they happy? I come here to sit because only here I am near the masses of people. I speak to you because I want to talk to a man not spoiled by money. Oh! You don’t know how tired I am of money, money, money! And of the men who surround me! I am tired of pleasure, of jewels, of travel.” “I always had an idea 4,” said the young man, “that money must b e 5 a very good thing.” “When you have so many millions! Drives, dinners, theatres, balls, suppers! I am tired of it,” said the young girl. - The young man looked at her with interest. “And I always liked,” he said, “to read and to hear about the life of rich people.” “Sometimes I think,” continued the girl, “that I should love6 only a simple man. What is your profession?” “I am a very simple man. Did you really mean i t 7 that you should love a simple man?” “I really did,” she said. “I work at a restaurant,” said he. The girl drew back8. “Not as a waiter?” she asked. “I am a cashier in the restaurant that you see on the opposite side of the street.” The girl looked at her watch and rose. “Why are you not at work?” she asked. 92

“I am on the night turn 12345*789,” said the young man, “my work begins in an hour. When shall I see you again?” “I don’t know. Now I must go. Oh, there is a dinner and a concert to-night. Did you notice a white automobile at the corner of the park when you came?” “Yes, I did,” said the young man. “I always come in it. The driver waits for me there. Good night.” 4 “But the park is full of rude men. May I accompany you 101to the car?” “You will remain on this bench for ten minutes.” And she went away n . The young man looked at her elegant figure while she was going to the entrance of the park. Then he rose and followed her. When the girl reached the park gate, she turned her head to look at the white car, then passed it, crossed the street and entered the re staurant. A red-haired 12 girl left the cashier’s desk and the girl in grey took her place. The young man walked slowly down the street, then stepped into the white automobile and said to the driver: “To the club, Henry.” 1 if you like — если хотите 2 let’s (let us) talk — давайте поговорим 3 I beg your pardon — Прошу извинить пеня 4 I always had an idea — Я всегда думал 5 must be — видимо, наверно ® I should love — я полюбила бы 7 Did you really mean it — Вы действительно хотели сказать 8 drew back — отодвинулась 9 on the night turn — в вечернюю смену 10 May I accompany you — Разрешите проводить вас 11 went away — ушла 12 red-haired — рыжеволосая У п р аж н ен и я I.

IN THE KINGDOM OF PENGUINS

After V. Peskov There are seventeen different species of penguins, but in Mirny there are only “emperors.” These creatures do not resemble birds. They are very much like dolphins. But their black tail coat and white shirt, their gait and pose make them resemble human beings. Watching the “empe rors” is a great pleasure. I first saw the kingdom of penguins from the air. They were like black seeds which were moving. People say that these birds which fear nothing are afraid of planes and especially of helicopters. The penguins were hiding from the wind behind an old snow-covered iceberg about 5 kilometres from Mirny, and I went there. From a distance of two kilometres I heard sounds resembling a concert of swamp frogs. Later I got the impression of approaching a flock of geese. Sud denly I noticed two penguins standing almost chest to chest quite still. This was love. And like all lovers they did not notice the sound of my footsteps. The penguins can stand for one and even two hours quite still while life in the kingdom goes on according to its own laws. In summer time almost the entire adult population leaves for a resort not far from Mirny. There is an open sea there full of molluscs and fish. ■The sun shines brightly. Only the nurse-maids and the growing children remain in the kingdom. Children remain children — somebody must feed them and look after them. This is the way they feed them: the hungry child approaches the nurse-maid who bends down, the child puts his head into the open beak and rapidly begins swallowing a white mash. Of course, some five hundred nurse-maids cannot feed this 98

flock and they go to the resort to put on weight. They are replaced by rested and fattened penguins. The youngsters move slowly day by day closer to the sea, and the nurse-maids are all the time on the lookout for some foolish youngsters. The children have no coats, they wear a flannel garment, and only in the middle of December, which is summer there, finally get black coats. And the entire kingdom moves towards the sea. There the birds, dressed in their new garments, dive into the blue sea. This is the end of childhood. At the end of March, winter sets in and the snow storms begin. A month later the entire kingdom of pen guins moves to the island where they were born. And everything is repeated as it was for thousands of years: the groom selects his bride, she lays one egg. The frost is 50 degrees. The egg lies on the mother’s feet and is co vered by the folds of her skin. The egg is the size of a large potato, and it is rather difficult to move together with it, but the penguins do. If it is necessary to go for food the father takes over the egg. The penguin moves two kilometres an hour and it takes a day to reach the sea which draws far away in winter. In frosts the “emperors” hatch their only egg by standing over it. The egg may roll off, crack from the cold, or a neighbour, who lost her own egg, may seize it. The penguin is born in the coldest time of the year. It is quite bare and sits on its mother’s feet covered by the folds of her skin. Infantile mortality in the kingdom of “emperors” is very high. More than half of the chicks do not live to put on their black parade coats. You cannot find the penguins everywhere in the An tarctic. There are only three kingdoms of penguins on two thousand kilometres of the ice coast. And one of them is not far from Mirny. У п р аж н ен и я I.

After Jack London Keesh lived in the Far North with his father and mother. Keesh was thirteen years old when his father died. His mother was very poor because she had nobody to hunt for her. Keesh and his mother lived in a small dark hut and were often hungry. 103

One day Keesh said to his mother: “My father was a great hunter. Now I must begin hunting. I shall kill a polar bear, bring his meat home, and we shall not be hungry.” When his mother said about it to the people of the village, they laughed: “Your son is a silly boy,” they said. “He is only thir teen years old. How can he kill a polar bear?” Next day Keesh got up very early and left the village. Two days passed and Keesh did not come back. His mother cried and said to the women of the village, who tried to comfort her: “Don’t comfort me, I know that he will never come back.” But on the third day Keesh returned home. He carried the head of a young polar bear on his back. All the people of the village came to the small hut in which Keesh lived. They said: “It is very difficult to kill a polar bear, and Keesh is only thirteen years old. How did he do it? How could he do it?” But nobody could answer these questions. Some days passed and Keesh went hunting again. This time he killed an old polar bear. The people in the village could not understand that. They said: “He always hunts alone and never takes even a dog with him. It is magic. He can’t kill a polar bear without magic.” Keesh was not only strong and clever but he was kind. He killed many polar bears that winter and he gave their meat to the people of his village. And the people built for him and his mother a new hut. It was large and clean, and it was full of light. But once old Klosh Kwan, the head of the village, called Keesh to him and said: “People say, Keesh, that you use magic, that you kill the bears with the help of magic.” But Keesh only laughed and answered: “Is the meat not good? Do you not eat the meat of the bears which I kill?” And all the people laughed at Klosh Kwan. But he be came angry and next day said to the people: “Let us send spies after him, and we shall know how he kills the bears. You will see that he uses magic.” And when Keesh went again to hunt, three men fol lowed him. When they returned they said: “It is magic. 104

We saw how Keesh killed a bear. It was a very big bear. Keesh walked up to the bear and cried something. The bear got up from the ice and then Keesh turned and ran from the bear, and the bear ran after him. When Keesh was running from the bear he dropped little round balls on the ice. The bear stopped, smelt and then swallowed them. And Keesh ran and ran, and the bear ran after him and swallowed all the new balls which Keesh dropped. Then suddenly the bear stopped, cried and began to dance. When he got tired he walked slowly away. Keesh walked after the bear, and we walked after him. And for three days we walked after Keesh. At last the bear fell on the ice and Keesh killed him with his spear.” “It is magic,” said the people of the village. They came to the hut of Klosh Kwan. One man went to Keesh’s hut and said: “Come Keesh, to Klosh Kwan’s hut. The people want to listen how you kill bears. They say it is magic.” “I shall not go there,” said Keesh, “I am hungry and tired. If the people want to know how I kill bears, let them come here and I shall tell them.” And all the people came to Keesh’s hut as they wanted to listen to Keesh. “Tell us, Keesh, tell us,” said Klosh Kwan, “how you killed the last big bear. Was it magic?” Keesh laughed. “No, Klosh Kwan,” he said, “it was not magic. I am a boy and I know nothing of magic. But I know hpw to kill bears and I shall tell you about it. You must take a small bit of whale bone, the ends of which must be very sharp. Then you coil it and cover it with fat. Then you make a small ball and put it on the ice till it freezes. When the bear runs* after you, you must drop a ball on the snow. When the bear smells it, he swallows it. Then the fat melts in his stomach, the bone uncoils and the bear gets sick. And when the bear gets sick and can not fight, I kill him. It is very simple.” “Oh,” said the people to Keesh’s mother, “you have a very clever boy.” Keesh became a great hunter and the head of his vil lage. He lived a long life. There was always meat in his village, and his people were never hungry. 105

This funny story happened to the famous English writer Arthur Conan Doyle. As you know, the hero of his books is Sherlock Hol mes, the well-known detective, who solved the most diffi cult problems by analysing the smallest details. Once Arthur Conan Doyle came to Paris. He took a cab at the railway station and went to the hotel. When he paid for the cab, the cabman said to him: “Thank you, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!” The writer was surprised and asked him: “How do you know my name? I see you for the first time in my life.” “You see, sir, it is like this,” answered the cabman, “some days ago I read in the newspapers about your arri val in Paris from the South. The train in which you came arrived from the South; your hat and the umbrella in your hands told me that you were an Englishman. That’s why 107

when I saw you, I said to myself: “This must be Sir Arttfur Conan Doyle.” “Clever work, very clever work,” said the writer, “you analysed correctly the few facts you had.” “And there is another fact, which helped me too, sir,” continued the cabman, “your name is written on your bags.” V.

They took every bit of roof for TV aerials! THE SOURCES OF HEROISM

After Ilya Ehrenburg I want to tell you about a girl whose name is known only to few of her friends, but whose short life may serve an example for all our young people. Her name was Inna Konstantinova. She was friendly, pleasant and kind-hearted girl. She left a diary in four thick note-books. These four note-books show u's the sour ces of her heroism. The first note-book begins on the 18th of June, 1940, when Inna passed from the 8th to the 9th form. She was an ordinary Soviet girl with joys and sorrows like any body else. On her sixteenth birthday she wrote: 109

“Today one of my oldest dreams came true — I was given a watch!” Some days later she wrote in big letters: “I got my passport!” Inna’s diaries tell us of her first love: “It is a great word, love,” she wrote. Then she tells us of her happiness and excitement — the first time ‘he’ asked her to dance with him — and of her jealousy when he took another girl home. Inna read a lot. She read Leonid Andreyev’s story ‘The Seven Who Were Hanged’, and for the first time in her life thought about death: “What a horrible thing it is to feel that you must die soon. I tried to put myself in their places 1 but I could not. I do not know, but I think I should wait calmly2 for the end and not even think of it; sometimes I think I would beg and pray.” She wrote this on the 29th of June, 1940, and on the 4th of March, 1944, she stood face to face3 with the hangman. She wrote about life at a time when she had all her life before her: “I must not let life drag me along but must do my best4 to make life move. Only then I will have the right to call myself a member of the human race.” This is what a Russian girl, living in Kashino, thought and wrote. These are the ideas of a Young Com munist, and these words written in a still childish hand explain much of what happened later. In 1941 Inna joined a volunteer nursing squad. She nursed the wounded and she suffered with them. The events of those days will always be remembered. On the 16th of July Inna wrote: “If only I could go to the front and fight the fascists!” At last on the 4th of June, 1942, she was sent to a par tisan column. There she learnt the art of scouting. She was sent into towhs and villages where there were Ger man garrisons. She did not look like a partisan, she had such a sweet, girlish face that she could go anywhere without being noticed5. She came back and reported to the partisans the number of Germans in the garrisons, their defenses and the number of units sent to the front. Near Idritsa the Germans arrested Inna. “Are you a partisan? Answer me!” asked the German officer. The girl did not show any fear and the officer burned her hands with a lighted cigar. She spent a night in prison 110

and then escaped. She returned to the partisans with swollen hands. In November she crossed the front line with a group of scouts to bring information to a Soviet Army unit. One of the scouts was wounded and Inna stayed behind the front line with him. She had to carry him 6 and they could only travel at night. During the day they hid in the marshes. On the 4th of March, 1944, Inna and a group of parti sans were given an important mission. They were some eight kilometres from the front line when they were sur rounded by the Germans. Inna decided to cover the retreat of her comrades. She had a tommy-gun and conti nued firing until she was wounded, first in the leg and then in the shoulder. The Germans captured her alive and tortured her to death. She belonged to the people among whom she grew up with; if we look for the sources of her heroism, we see that we know them quite well: they are our society and our people.123456 1 to put myself in their places — поставить себя на их место 2 I should wait calmly — я бы спокойно ждала 3 face to face — лицом к лицу (перед) 4 I must do my best — Я должна сделать- все, что от меня за висит 5 without being noticed — не будучи замеченной 6 She had to carry him — Ей пришлось его нести

THE GREAT RACE

An African Tale Part I The lion, who was the king of all the animals, once said: “We shall have a great race. Everybody can take part in it.” Many animals wanted to be in the race. The lion was very glad to hear it. But then a deer came: he also wanted to be in the race. The deer was the quickest of all the animals and the animals were afraid to race with him. For three days they asked him not to take part in the race: “We know without any races that you are the best runner of all. Now we want to see who is the quickest among us. If you run, everybody will laugh at us.” But the deer did not want to listen to them. He said: “I will take part in the race.” Then all the other animals said: “We do not want to be in the race together with the deer.” The king promised a good prize to the winner. But there were no other runners who wanted to take part in the race. “It is very easy for the deer to win the prize,” the ani mals said. The deer was glad to hear that. The king said to the animals: “Don’t le t1 the deer win the prize so easily. Run with him!” But the animals were silent. Then the king roared out: “If somebody races with the deer, I shall give him a prize too!” But the animals kept silence2. The king got angry 3. Suddenly the animals heard a thin low voice. They looked down and saw a turtle. He said: “I am going to race with the deer for the prize.” There was silence for a moment. Then the animals be gan to laugh. But the turtle did not say a word. He did not smile. He looked very serious. So the king wrote down his name. The animals waited for the day of the race. “The turtle wants to race with the deer," they said, “this is the greatest joke of our timel It is going to be very funny!” V«5*

115

The turtle called all the other turtles together and said: “I am going to race with the deer. You must help me. Then we shall win the race and get the first prize.” ' “The deer thinks that he will win. the first prize,” the turtle went on, “but I know how he runs: he stops and eats grass along the way, talks if he meets somebody, and even takes n ap s4. We must take advantage of all th is5. I shall tell you how to do it. “You know that we turtles look very much alike6. We shall run in the long valley. I shall hide near the end of the valley not far from the finish. Each of you will hide under the shrubs all along the w ay7. One of you will take his place with the deer at the start. I am sure that the deer will stop to eat grass, to talk with somebody or to take a nap. Each time the deer stops, one of you up ahead must quietly come out and move on. The turtle who is behind must hide till the race is over. I think the deer will take a nap near the finish. He always does so. And he will think that I am still far behind. The king and the animals will wait for a long time before I come to the fi nish to get the second prize. But the deer will not get the first prize, I shall be the first at the finish.” The turtles began dancing on the green grass where the meeting took place. To be continued1234567 1 Don’t let — He позволяйте 2 kept silence — молчали 3 got angry — рассердился 4 takes naps — дремлет 5 take advantage of all this — воспользоваться всем этим 6 look very much alike — очень похожи 7 all along the way — на всем пути

THE GREAT RACE

An African Tate P a гt И At last the day of the race came. In the morning every turtle hid in his place. Only a few animals came to see the start. All the others went to the far end of the valley where the king was sitting. That was the finish, the place where the race ended. They came to laugh at the turtle, — animals like to laugh. The start took place early in the morning. The few ani mals who were there laughed when they saw that the turtle started bravely and looked happy. They laughed still louder when in a moment the deer was far ahead. He looked back at the turtle and laughed too. “Good-bye-ee,” he shouted. The animals did not stay to look at the slow turtle They left the place. Soon the deer was tired. He stopped to eat some green grass as he had no breakfast before the race. At that moment the first turtle hid under a shrub. The turtle who was ahead came out quietly onto the road. The deer did not see it. After a long time the deer came back to the race-way and ran fast along it. Suddenly he saw the turtle ahead of him. The turtle was moving slowly. He was surprised, but he laughed and passed the turtle. Then the turtle left the race-way. He moved into the shrub and lay still there. The deer stopped many times to eat grass or to talk to some animals. And each time he passed the turtle, he laughed. “Poor turtle! He will be so tired, when he comes to the finish,” the deer thought. When the deer was a mile away from the finish, he decided to take a nap. He wanted to sleep for a short time, but he slept for a long time. The turtles one after another had time to move from one hiding-place to ano ther. The last place was the place of the leader. He came out and moved to the finish. At that time the king and the animals were waiting for the deer. “Soon the deer will come,” they said to one 7__ 71

another and smiled. Suddenly instead of the deer they saw the turtle who was moving as fast as a turtle could move The animals began to laugh. “The deer wants to give us a good show12,” they said. “He let the turtle run ahead for fun3.' He wants to run up to the finish at the very last moment. He wants to laugh at the poor turtle.” But the turtle was moving nearer and nearer. At last he crossed the finish line before the eyes of everybody. When the king saw this, he was surprised. He opened his mouth and roared so loudly that the trees began to shake. The sleeping deer woke up. He said: “It’s time to get to the finish 4,” and ran along the valley. He thought: “The turtle is far behind me,” and smiled happily. He was still smiling as he crossed the line. But then he saw the turtle and understood the terrible truth. The deer fainted when the king handed the first prize to the turtle, and the second prize to the deer. Of course the deer was not happy. All the night the turtles were dancing happily on the green grass. It was a great holiday for the turtles. Since that time the deer never speaks proudly about himself and the turtle still carries his head high. 1 as fast as a turtle could move — так быстро, как только могла двигаться черепаха 2 a good show — хорошее зрелище 3 for fun — ради шутки 4 It’s time to get to the finish — Пора идти к финишу

THE BRIDGE UNDER THE WATER

After K. Simonov ...When General Mukhin received orders to launch an offensive, he called Divisional Engineer Sosnovkin to his headquarters and said: “You’ll have to provide a crossing for .our tanks, but...” Here the General paused for a few seconds. “First of all you must finish the bridge before we begin the offensive, and secondly you must build it without tne Ger mans knowing 1 we are going to start the attack. They must not see your bridge!” Sosnovkin asked twenty-four hours to find a solution to this problem. During these twenty-four hours Sosnov kin thought of many things, at last he found the solution. He came to General Mukhin and told him: “I found a solution. We’ll build a bridge, but there will be two pecu 125

liarities — it will not be an ordinary bridge but one with gaps in it and it will be under the water and not over it. The tanks will be able to cross it but infantry will not. It will be quite safe, because only Soviet sappers will know that it exists.” While the sappers were cutting logs and building the first bridge in the forest for the tanks to practise on, Engineer Sosnovkin studied the river. Like most Russian rivers, the left bank — held by our troops — was low, while the right bank — where the Germans were — was high and steep. The Germans could see everything that the Russians did, so, of course, they could see the bridge. The problem that Sosnovkin had to solve was how to get the logs in position2. After a lot of thought he solved it: the logs will be brought to their places along the Ger man side of the river. The Germans were high up and could see what the Russians were doing on the Russian side, but could not see the water immediately under their own bank. Some distance upstream there was a gully near a bend in the river where the sappers gathered the logs. From here they will push them into the river during the night and float them down to the place where the bridge will be built. The posts were cut ready and fitted together with bolts and screws. Notches were cut in them, and the sap pers knew how to fit them together in the darkness. On the third night the sappers began to build their bridge. It was already November, and there was a thin sheet of ice on the water. But the sappers had to work in it for rather a long time. The icy water cut like a knife. Every man had only one thought — to get his post in place as quickly as pos sible3 and return to the fire to get warm again. All haste was forbidden. The slightest noise, a splash of water, could spoil everything. Two men guided each post into position. Behind came others carrying heavy stones to hold the posts in place. On the third night, when they fixed the last three pairs of posts, the water was even colder. The ice was now thicker, and it cut thd’ men’s hands as they worked. The work lasted all night, «nd when they got back to the dug-outs in the morning, they were so cold that for many hours they could not get warm. 126

At last the order was received. At night Sosnovkin, accompanied by some of his heroic sappers, crept down to the river and put up sign-posts on both sides. It was now a regular road-way, and the tanks could cross easily. At dawn, when our tanks drove straight into the river and the ice did not break under their weight, the Germans were astonished: in front of the tanks the Germans saw a man w alk in g --it was Divisional Engineer Sosnovkin, inventor and builder of the underwater bridge. 1 without the Germans knowing — так, чтобы немцы не знали 2 how to get the logs in position — как переправить бревна на место постройки моста 3 as quickly as possible — как можно быстрее

BECAUSE SHE WAS A NEGftO WOMAN

Balashyan arrived in New Orleans on Sunday mor ning on his way to Baltimore. A clerk at the bookingoffice told him: “There are some seats for the train going to Baltimore in half and hour.” Soon Balashyan was sitting by the window in the smoking compartment of a car. He began to look through the newspapers. But then he noticed a young woman sit ting at the window of the next compartment. She was beautiful with black hair. A book lay in front of her but she was not reading it. At a small station the train stopped and a group of young men in military uniform entered the car. One of them took a seat near Balashyan. “Are these today’s newspapers? Do you mind 1 if 1 read them?” he asked Balashyan in French. “Not at a ll2,” he answered. “Are you French?” “No, 1 am Armenian ,” said Balashyan. “Oh, is that so?” the young man cried out in surprise. “I’ve never met an Armenian.” Soon everybody knew about Balashyan and began asking him questions: “What kind of people are the Arme nians? Is your country far from New Orleans? Are the girls in Armenia beautiful?44 But suddenly the conversation was interrupted by a woman’s scream coming from the next compartment. They all jumped up and hurried to see what was hap pening there. This is what they saw: a tall officer was standing in front of the young woman and shouting at her: “I repeat my question: Are you a Negress? I repeat my question. Are you a Negress?” But the young woman said nothing. 4You are! I can recognize Niggers from a distance. Where are you going?” he shouted. “To Baltimore to see my husband. He is in the army too. He is leaving for France tomorrow.” “Why do you go in the car for white people?” asked the man. “But there was no train with a coloured car until eve ning, and I wouldn’t be able to see my husband before he 131

But the officer only laughed. “Throw her out at the next station!” shouted one of his comrades. Here Balashyan broke in: “Look here, gentlemen. You are officers of the AmerL can army. You cannot leave the wife of an American sol dier in such a lonely place at this hour of the night.” But one of the men pushed him aside. The train stop ped suddenly. The officer pulled the woman to her feet, dragged her to the door and pushed her out of the car. Then Balashyan ran to the door, pushed the officer aside and jumped down too.

A DOG

After Mark Twain Parti

“Never ask for money which you did not earn,” I al ways said. Now I shall tell you a story which will show you how honest I was all my life. A few days ago I met General Miles at myfrien house. General Miles was a nice man and webecame great friends very quickly. “Did you live in Washington in 1887?” asked me the general. “Yes, I did,” I answered. “Why didn’t we meet then?” said General Miles. “General,” I said,“You forget that you were already a great general then, and I was a poor young writer whom nobody knew and whose books nobody read.” “You do not remember me,” I thought, “but we met once in Washington at that time.” I remember it very well. I was poor at that time and very often I did not have money even for my bread. I had a friend, who was a poor writer too. We lived together. We did everything together: worked, read books, went for our walks. And when we were hungry, we were both hungry. Once we needed three dollars. I don’t remember why we needed these three dollars, but I remember well that we needed the money by the evening. “We must get these three dollars,” said my friend. “I shall try to get the money, but you must also try to do it.” 136

I went out of our house, but I did not know where to go and how to get these three dollars. For an hour I was walking along the streets of Washington and was very tired. At last I came to a big hotel. ‘I shall go in and have a rest,’ I thought. I went into the hall of the hotel and sat down on a sofa. I was sitting there when a beautiful small dog ran into the hall. It was looking for somebody. The dog was very nice and I began to play with it. I was playing with the dog when a man came into the hall. He wore a beautiful uniform and I thought: ‘That is General Miles.’ I knew him by his pictures in the news papers. “What a beautiful dog!” he said. “Is it your dog?” I did not have time to answer him when he said: “Do you want to sell it?” When I heard these words I thought about my friend and the three dollars which I wanted to get. “Well, I... I think...” “That is good,” said the general, “how much do you want for it?” “Three dollars,” I answered at once. “Three dollars?” he asked, “but that is very little. I can give you fifty dollars for it.” “No, no, I want only three dollars.” “Well, it is your dog. If you want three dollars for it, I shall be glad to buy your dog.” General Miles paid me three dollars, took the dog and went to his room. To be continued Упражнения I.

A DOG

After Mark Twain P a r t II Ten minutes later an old man came into the hall. He looked round the hall. I saw he was looking for some thing. “Are you looking for a dog, sir?” I asked. “Oh, yes! Did you see it?” said the man. “Your dog was here a few minutes ago and I saw how it went away with a man,” I said. “If you want, I shall try to find it for you.” The man was very happy and asked me to help him. “I shall be glad to help you but it will take some of my time and...” “I am ready to pay you for your time,” cried the man. “How much do you want for it?” “Three dollars,” I answered. “Three dollars?” said the man. ‘JBut it is a very good dog. I shall pay you ten dollars if you find it for me.” “No, sir, I want only three dollars,” said I. Then I went up to General Miles’ room. The general was playing with his new dog. “I came here to take the dog back,” I said. “But it is not your dog now, I bought it. I paid you three dollars for it,” said the general. “I shall give you back your three dollars, but I must take the dog back,” I answered. “But you sold it to me, it is my dog now.” “I could not sell it to you, sir, because it was not my dog.” “Do you want to tell me that you took three dollars for a dog that was not yours?” cried the general. “I took the money but I never said: ‘It is my dog.’ ” “But you sold it to me for three dollars.” “How could I sell it to you when it was not my dog? You asked me: ‘How much do you want for the dog?’ and I said ‘I want three dollars.’ But I never told you that it was my dog.” General Miles was very angry. “Give me back my three dollars and take the dog away,” he shouted. 141

When t brought the dog back to its master, he was Very happy and paid me three dollars with joy. I was happy too because I had the money, and I felt that I earned it.
