One day the wolf says to the fox, “I am very hungry. I want to have a rabbit for dinner but rabbits run too quickly. I can never catch them”. “I know how to help you,” says the fox. “A fat grey rabbit lives in that small house at the oak-tree. Let us ask magpies to chatter that I am dead. I go home and get into bed. You must hide somewhere in my house. I am sure that the rabbit will come to see if I am dead. Then you will jump and catch him”. “The fox is dead, the fox is dead”, chatter the magpies. The rabbit wants to know if the fox is dead. But he does not want to go into the fox’s house. He looks in through the window, and sees the fox on his bed. His eyes are shut, he looks like a dead fox. The rabbit thinks, “1 must see if the fox is dead or not. If he is not dead, he’ll catch me when I go near to him”. He looks at the fox and says, “The magpies chatter that the fox is dead. But he does not look like a dead fox. Dead foxes always open their mouths”. The wily fox hears this, and he thinks, “I’ll show the rabbit that I am dead”. So he opens his mouth- Now the rabbit sees that the fox is not dead. He jumps up and runs away as fast as he can. The fox and the wolf cannot catch him. __________________________________________________ Vocabulary fox - лисиця, лис dead - мертвий wolf - вовк hungry - голодний rabbit - кролик too quickly - дуже швидко to catch (caught, caught) - спіймати, зловити fat - жирний oak-tree - дуб Let us ask magpies to chatter that I am dead. - Давай попросимо сорок розповісти, що я помер. to hide (hid, hidden) - заховатися I am sure that the rabbit will come. - Я впевнений, що кролик прийде. to look in - заглядати he looks like - він схожий на mouth - рот wily - хитрий to hear (heard, heard) - чути to show (showed, shown) - показувати as fast as he could - так швидко, як він міг ____________________________________________Дай відповіді на запитання 1.

THE MAGIC BASKET A mother and her little son live in a little house. They are very poor. All they have is a grey goat. One day the mother says, “We have no money, we have no bread. You must go and sell the goat.” The boy takes the goat and goes to the town. He meets a farmer with a large basket in his hands. “Sell me your goat”, says the farmer. “What can you give me for it?” asks the boy. “I can give you this basket”, says the farmer. “What good is this basket for me?” says the boy. “What can I put in it? I have no bread, I have no eggs, I have no apples!” 5 “My little girl is ill”, says the farmer. “She must drink some milk from a grey goat every day or she will die”. The boy is kind. He is sorry for the litde girl. He gives his goat to the farmer, takes the basket and goes home. When he comes home, he puts the basket on the table and shows it to his mother. The mother looks at the basket and says, “What good is this basket for us, what can we put in it?” But suddenly the basket says, “I am a magic basket.” The basket jumps from the table and runs out of the house. When it comes back to the poor boy’s house, it is full of good things. Now the mother and her boy have dinner. Every morning the wonderful basket jumps from the table and runs out of the house.

One day her mistress gave her a pail of milk and said to her, ‘Dolly, you can have a holiday today Here is a pail of milk for you.” “Thank you,” said Dolly. She was very glad to have a holiday. Then she asked, “May I sell the milk?” “Yes, you may sell it, it is your milk”, answered the mistress. So Dolly put the pail of milk on her head and walked to town. She was happy. She had a lot of plans in her head. “I shall sell the milk,” she thought, “and I shall buy some eggs with the money. Then I shall take one of my mistress’s hens and put it on the eggs. I shall soon have a lot of chicks. My chicks soon will be big and fat, and I shall sell them. I shall buy a pretty new dress with the money. I shall buy a nice red dress and a pair of red shoes. I shall be very beautiful in my new dress.” Dolly was very happy and she began to run and jump. And the pail of milk fell to the ground. Dolly sat down on the grass and cried.

But Water never went to see the Sun and the Moon in their house. “Why don’t you come to see us?” the Sun once asked him. “I have too many friends,” Water answered, “they will come with me. I’m afraid there will be no place for them in your house.” “But I shall build a new big house,” the Sun said. And the Sun built a very big house and then asked Water to come to him. Water came with all the fish and water animals. “May I come in with all my people?” Water asked. “Yes, come in,” the Sun said. Very soon Water in the house was knee-deep for the Sun. Then in a minute Water was up to the Sun’s head, and came higher and higher with all the fish and water animals. At last Water was so high in the house that the Sun and the Moon went on to the roof and sat there. But soon Water came up on to the roof. What could the Sun and 8 -*>■* the Moon do?

KING MIDAS Midas was a very rich king but he was not happy. Every day he counted his gold and wished for more. King Midas had a little daughter Marygold. He loved her very much and wished to make her the richest princess. But Marygold loved the sun and flowers more than all the gold in her Father’s house. One day a man came into the king’s room. The king looked at him and asked, “Who are you?” “I am Mercury - one of the gods. You have much gold, king Midas,” said Mercury. “I have not so much as I wish,” said the king. “Are you not happy, king Midas?” asked Mercury. I want that everything I touch will turn to gold,” answered the king.
