funny girl. She likes to play of course. She likes to play with her friends and

But Kate
doesn't want to play now – she is ill. Mother gives Kate her nice toys to play
with – a brown monkey, a yellow giraffe, a little white duck, a big black bear,
a red fox and a big doll. But Kate doesn't want to play with her toys – she is
ill.
When Pa comes

with you?"
"I am
ill," says my little sister.
"Oh,
what a pity," says my father. "Do you want to play? Come on. Let's
play. I know you like to play."
"No,
thank you, I don't want to play," says Kate.
"If you
don't want to play, then you are ill," says Father. "I think a doctor
can help you."
"I don't
want a doctor! I don't like doctors!" says my sister.
"But the
doctor is my friend. He is very, very nice. He helps those boys and girls who
are ill. He can help you, too. And he has got a very nice little black bag with

Read the
story, write down unfamiliar words and translate them into Russian using a dictionary.
Five years ago my grandparents lived in the village of Smalville
in Florida. We visited them every summer.
Every day we helped with their
farm. They didn't have a car, but they had a brown horse and a cart. They also
had two cows and a very big bull. I wasn't afraid of him because he was good.
He was three years old and was born on the farm. My grandparents had some hens
and sheep too and a beautiful dog, Ted, but they didn't have any cats.

Near their house there was a
river. My grandad swam but I didn't because I was too small. We liked the farm.
We were very happy there.
Last year my grandparents sold
their house and some of their animals and moved to a village near Los Angeles.
I am glad they didn't sell their horse or their dog. Last month we visited
them. Their new house and village are beautiful. I want to visit them again
soon.

The Boy and the Door
There was a small shop in a little street in an old town. In the
shop there were beautiful things made of silver and gold. The small shop had a
door that opened on the little street. The shopkeeper was standing at the open
door.
“Come and buy! Come and buy!” called the shopkeeper. “Come into my
shop and see all the beautiful things!” again he called. “Come in!
I shall show you beautiful things made of silver and gold.”
One day the shopkeeper
had to go away to the king’s palace. The king wanted a beautiful gold ring and
a silver cup from the shop.
The shopkeeper called the boy who worked for him. “I’m going to
the king’s palace,” he said. “You must stay here. Do not leave the door of the
shop whatever happens. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand,” said
the boy.
The shopkeeper went away, and soon he came to the king’s palace.
He gave the king the ring and the cup. Then he went home. Soon he was back at
his shop. He stopped and looked up in astonishment. “What is this?” he cried.
“Why are so many people going into my shop?” Then the shopkeeper saw that the
door of the shop was gone and so was the boy who worked for him.
Just then, the shopkeeper saw the boy. He was in the street near
the shop. The boy had the shop door on his back. He was standing in the square
looking at some men who were doing tricks.
The shopkeeper ran to the
boy.
“I told you not to leave
my shop,” he cried.
“No,” said the boy. “You

door. I have the door here with me.”
