IV. Reading. Read the text and answer the questions

              In 1608 an Englishman whose name was Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country and noted down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found more interesting than the others. In his diary Thomas wrote, “When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They don’t eat with hands because, as they say , do not always have clean hands”. Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks. At home Thomas gave a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the servant brought the steak, he took out a fork and began to eat like they did in Italy. Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what it was, they all wanted to take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very strange people because the fork was very inconvenient.

             Thomas Coryate tried to prove the opposite. He said it was not nice to eat with one’s fingers because they were not always clean. Everybody got angry at that . Did Mr. Coryate think that people inEngland always had dirty hands? And weren’t the ten fingers they had enough for them? Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first piece of meat he took with the fork fell to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork away. Only fifty years later people in England began to use forks.

1. Why did the Italians eat with the forks?
2. What did he give at home to show the invention of the Italians?
3. Why did his friends begin to laugh?
4. When did people in England begin to use forks?

 A Stolen Horse

                   It was in South America. A rich Spaniard was riding home when suddenly his horse fell lame. As it happened far from his home he did not know what to do for he saw that his horse would not be able to bring him home. A little later he met an Italian riding on a fine horse and asked him to exchange the horses. The Indian refused to do this. But the Spaniard, being much stronger than the Italian, made him give up his horse. And the Spaniard rode away, leaving his lame horse to the Indian who was soon left far behind. But the Indian followed him and came to the town where he found the Spaniard. He went to a judge and said that the Spaniard had stolen his horse.

                 Then the Spaniard was asked to swear that the horse was his own and he had had it for many years. Then the Indian asked to send for the horse. This was done. And the Indian said: “This man swears that he has had this horse for many years; let him therefore tell you in which of the eyes the horse is blind.” The Spaniard said at once: “In the right eye”.

“You are wrong”, said the Indian. “Neither in the right nor in the left, it is not blind at all.”

And so the horse was returned to the Indian.
