TEXT №17    ‘A FUNNY STORY’.

Once a man went to a shop and bought a pair of trousers. When he came home, he put the trousers on. Then he saw that they were too long for him.

So he went to his wife and said:

"Please make my trousers shorter, they are too long for me, I cannot put them on."

But the wife said: "I have no time now. I must wash the plates. It is late now, I shall do it tomorrow."

The man went to his daughter and asked her:

"Can you make my trousers shorter? I cannot put them on."

"No, I cannot," said the daughter. "I must do my les­sons now. I shall do it tomorrow".  The man went to his sister, but she could not help him. She said: "I must make my dress now. I shall do it tomorrow".  So the man went to bed and left his new trousers on a chair near his bed.

His wife washed all the plates, came into the room, took the trousers, made them shorter and put them back on the chair. When his daughter did her lessons, she came into his room, took the trousers and made them shorter. Late in the evening his sister came too and made the trousers shorter.

The man got up at 7 o'clock in the morning. His wife told him, "I have made your trousers shorter; you can put them on". But when the man put them on, he saw that they were too short for him and he could not wear them.

TEXT №18    ‘HIS FIRST MONEY’.

Somebody once asked Mark Twain whether he could remember the first money he ever earned. "I remember quite well", the famous writer answered.  "It happened at school. Schoolboys in those days had very little respect for their teachers and even less for their desks. The boys used pens and pencils and even knives to draw stars and faces, or to write their names on their desks.  At last, the school principal said: «The next time anybody does such a thing, he will have to pay five dollars, or he will receive a beating in front of the whole school".

"Soon after that, I had to go to my father and ask him to give me five dollars. I was honest enough to explain that I could agree to receive a beating instead, but he said: "No, I can't allow you to connect our name with such things. So I'll pay the five dollars. But you must suffer for what you have done. I'll give you the beating here, at home".

"So he beat me, and then gave me the five dollars to take to school. But I decided that the beating didn't hurt so much, and another beating at school wouldn't be worse.  So I told them to give me a beating in front of the whole school, and I kept the five dollars. And that was the first money I ever earned".
