GRANDMOTHER’S BIRTHDAY
Mary is a pupil of the sixth grade. She
lives with her mother in a house in Sedov Street in Kiev. She has a grandmother
and she loves her very much. But her grandmother doesn’t live with them. She
lives in a house in Shevchenko Street. Her house is rather beautiful and
comfortable. It is near the park where there are many pretty flowers in spring
and summer.
One day Mother says to Mary, “Today is
your grandmother’s birthday. Put this cake and some
nice apples into the basket and take them to your grandmother’s house. And do
not stop on your way there”.1
Mary puts the
cake and apples into the basket; then she takes it and goes out into the
street. In the street she sees her friend Ann. Ann is a pupil too, but she is
in the fifth grade. The girls walk on together2. Then they see a
bench and sit down. They put the basket under the bench.
They talk about their new toys, about their school, their lessons and many
other things.
At that time a
little dog sees the basket. It seems the nice cake3. The little dog
looks at the basket and then jumps into it.
After some time
Mary says, “Good-bye, Ann”. Then she takes the basket and goes to her grandmother’s house.
“Good morning,” she says. “Happy
birthday to you, Granny dear! This cake and these apples are for you”. With
these words she puts the basket on a chair, opens it and… sees a dog, but no
cake and apples.
“And
do not stop on your way there”.1 – не зупинятись по дорозі
walk
on together2 – йдуть разом
It
seems the nice cake3 – чується запах смачного пирога.
