I had a white night.
I had the time of my life.
It was high time to dine.
The island. The island is nine miles long. The island is nine miles long and five miles wide.
Time heals all wounds.
When the wine is in, the wit is out.
Life is not all cakes and ale.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Neither rhyme nor reason.
If you run after two hares, you will catch neither.
If the sky falls, we shall catch larks.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky,
Это муха. It’s a fly.
Сейчас прихлопну, так и знай.
One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.
There once was a man from Deviser,
Whose ears were of different sizes,
One ear was so small,
It was no use at all,
But the other won several prizes.
Give a man a pipe he will smoke,
Give a man a book he will read
And his home is bright
With a calm delight,
Though the room is poor indeed.
Ну, почему считает папа,
Что все медведи косолапы?
Нет, мой медведь не косолап,
Я спросил его “stand up! “
Он встал на две кривые лапы,
- Садись, – sit down, -
Прав мой папа.
Я по-англиски – I,
Пирог с начинкой – pie,
Начинка – cherry jam
I pie, пожалуй съем
Я говорю: «One, two».
И pie летит ко рту:
Считаю: «One, two, three»,
И pie уже внутри.
Такой послушный pie,
А не сказал: «good-bye»
A cat likes rats.
A frog likes gnats.
A lion likes meat.
A pig likes beet.
Если спросят: «Как дела?»
Я скажу: «all right»
Кукла спать моя легла,
Ей шепну: «good night»
По ночам сверчок стрекочет
Всем –good night - спокойной ночи.
All that you do
Do with you might;
Things which are done by havles
Are never done right.

Is still in bed and it’s half past .

The noise is annoying.
Joy is at boiling point.
Noise. Noise annoys. Any noise annoys. Any noise annoys an oyster.
Any noise annoys an oyster but the noisy noise annoys an oyster most.

If he only spoke very slowly.
Oh, no, don't go home alone,
Nobody knows how lonely the road is
Soames never boasts of what the knows
Soames never knows of what the boasts.
But Rose never knows of what the boast.
As you sow you shall mow,
Little strokes fell great oaks.
The North wind will blow
And we shall have snow.
Don't go. Don't go slow. Don't go slowly, Joe. Don't go slowly, Joe, there’s no snow.
Don't go slowly, Joe, there’s no snow on the road.
Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you, because
it doubles troubles and troubles others too.

Twelve twins twirled twelve twigs.

Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.

Will weather the weather.
Or whether the weather
The weather will kill?

Everywhere we saw the white snow.
William was not very willing to wait.
Didn’t this waiter work in Washington last winter?
His work grows worse and worse.
William always wears a very
Warm woolen vest in winter,

Woolen underwear even in the Wild West
When the cat is away the mice will play.
What we give, we had, what we left, we lost.
What is done cannot be undone
Wee Willie Winkie
Runs through the town
Upstairs and downstairs
In his night gown.

Crying through the door;
“Are the children all in bed?
It’s past eight o’clock”.
