When the new school was built everybody was eager to become the headmaster of it. To grab that juicy bone everybody was trying to show himself.
A young teacher is often called a flibbertigibbet because her eyes flush with enthusiasm.
The bustle of Christmas preparations didn’t let the kids to study. The never-ending rehearsals of percussion bands, mimed nursery rhymes and somersaults made the children irrepressible.
Lazy people always dream of making a packet. Involved in their hare-brained schemes they don’t notice that they have become old, fat, bold and useless.
Some children are stolid and calm. Their work doesn’t appear fast, it is like a slow-growing masterpiece.
The other type of kids are volatile and irrepressible. They are boasting mass-producers who work fast being starry-eyed for glory.
When Charlie cut through all the fold of gummed paper he gave a sudden yelp of dismay, then cast morose glances to the other kids but suddenly start working anew, starry-eyed for the future glory.
Future Christmas works the kids into the state of seething excitement. They become flibbertigibbets.
Mr Allan Foster dreamt of making a packet by publishing encyclopedias and reference-books. His hare-brained schemes irritated Anna and the other teachers.

В суету рождественских приготовлений глаза детей горели от энтузиазма.
Есть люди, которые поглощены своими мечтами и глупыми планами. Они мечтают, что когда-нибудь заработают состояние, ухватят кусок пожирнее, а сами даже не могут выполнять даже простую работу.
В суматохе предновогодних приготовлений все учителя сошли с ума. Но я не пойду по их легкомысленному пути. Все их рождественские песнопения, живые картины и акробатические этюды… Моя же сценка будет как медленно создаваемый шедевр.
Джордж и Майк были друзьями. Все удивлялись, как могут дружить такие разные люди. Майк, флегматичный и спокойный, и Джордж, непостоянный, неугомонный, с блестящими глазами.
В спортзале проходила репетиция ансамбля ударных инструментов, в столовой репетировали акробатические этюды, а в классах повторяли пантомимы и сценки.
Дети, в состоянии сильного волнения, готовили подарки для родственников, вырезая фигурки из вощеной бумаги, рисуя картинки и репетируя рождественские песнопения.
Прорезав случайно всю стопку вощеной бумаги, Джордж вскрикнул от неожиданности, потом нахмурился и весь урок не работал, бросая на остальных детей мрачные взгляды.
