II. Translate the underlined verbs into English. Retell the story: Покупая книги
В прошлом году я поссорился с женой. Она говорила, что я слишком много денег трачу на книги. Я понял, что она права, и пообещал, что больше этого не буду делать.
Однако, когда я шел на работу, я увидел очень интересную книгу в киоске. – На этой неделе я еще ничего не покупал, - подумал я. – Если я напишу на этой книге: "За участие в любительском спектакле", жена ничего не скажет.
- Так ты участвовал в спектакле? – удивилась жена. – Почему я тебя не видела? – Я держал на плечах балкон для Ромео и Джульетты, - ответил я. На следующей книге я написал: "С любовью и наилучшими пожеланиями, твой любящий дядя Бела", - Что это за дядя? – спросила жена. Почему я с ним не знакома?
- Бедный милый дядя, - ответил я. – Он дарит мне книги с тех пор, как я научился читать. Он 20 лет живет в Гродно и ни разу не выезжал оттуда из-за своего плохого здоровья.
Потом разные писатели начали дарить мне свои книги из любви и уважения ко мне. Однажды я пришел домой с книгой, которую мне подарил Золя. Жена стояла перед зеркалом. На ней было новое платье. – Ты купила платье? – спросил я. Нет, - ответила она, - мне его подарил твой друг. – Какой друг! – закричал я. Тот самый, который подарил тебе столько книг, Чарльз Диккенс. – Теперь мне ясно, почему у нас последние время были такие плохие обеды.
