week or so in the car."

"Leaving the rest of the family behind, I suppose!"

"Oh yes. They'll be quite safe with their grandmother - and, besides, they're ever so much happier playing about on the sands than spending long days in the car."

"Where do you go, as a rule?"

"We've tried many seaside-places on the east and south coasts: on the whole, I think we prefer the south. However, it really doesn't seem to matter very much, as long as the youngsters get a good sandy beach."

"What do you do? Take rooms, or stay at a hotel, or what?"

"We've done both, and this year we're taking a furnished house. Why don't you make up your mind to join us? Find a house near by, and make a large party. It'll be great fun."

The king and the critic

A king liked to write stories, which he thought were very good. The people to whom he showed them were afraid to criticize them. They said that his stories were good.

One day he showed some of them to a well-known critic, who said that his stories were bad. The king got angry with him and sent him to prison.

After some time the king pardoned the critic and when he returned invited him to his palace to dinner. Again he showed him some of his stories and again asked him what he thought of them.

The critic turned to the guards who were standing behind him and said: "Take me back to prison."

A street in London

We're in Oxford Circus, half-way along Oxford Street, one of the busiest streets in the West End of London, and that street over there is Regent Street, famous all over the world for its splendid shops. Near one of the street corners you can see the entrance to the subway leading to the Underground Railway, or "Tube" as we call it.

On both sides of the street there are shops, banks and restaurants. In the roadway there's a constant stream of cars, taxis, buses and lorries. In some parts of London there are trolley-buses and trams as well. The noise is deafening, but one soon gets used to it. The pavements are crowded with people, and it's dangerous to attempt to cross the road until the traffic is stopped, either by a policeman on point duty or by the red traffic lights. In any case, before crossing the road, take care to look to your right, and when you reach the middle of the road, look to your left.

At night, the streets are lit by electricity, or in some districts, by gas. You can see the lamp-posts and standards on the pavements, and on the "islands" in the middle of the road. The main streets are flooded with light from the brilliant shop-windows and the illuminated signs and advertisements, so that after dark everything looks as bright as in broad daylight.

The bullet-proof jacket

A man once called on a general, and showed him a jacket which he had invented for soldiers, and which, he said, was bullet-proof.

"Oh!" said the general. "Put it on!"

Then he rang the bell, and said to the servant: "Tell the captain to load his gun and come here."

281

The inventor of the bullet-proof jacket disappeared, and the general never saw him again.

The dumb beggar

A beggar made up his mind that he would pretend to be dumb. He arrived at a town where he had begged before. In one of the streets a gentleman who had given him money, and so remembered his face, met him and spoke to him.

The beggar did not say a word. "Hello!" cried the gentleman, "how long have you been dumb?" "Ever since I was a baby," answered the beggar.

The bell-boy

A traveller was standing at the desk in the lobby of a Washington hotel. He was in a hurry. He had only ten minutes to pay his bill and reach the station. Suddenly he remembered that he had forgotten something.

He called the bell-boy and said: "Run up to Room 48 and see whether I left a box on the table. Be quick, I am in a hurry."

The boy ran up the stairs. Five minutes passed, and the gentleman was walking up and down impatiently. At last the boy came back.

"Yes, sir," he said, "yes, sir, you left it there. It's on the table."

The tailor and the dressmaker

This morning I've been to my tailor's to order a new suit: coat, waistcoat and trousers. I should have liked to order a new overcoat as well as my old one is nearly worn out, but just now I can't afford it. I shall have to wait till next year for that. But I might get a raincoat later on. My tailor always has an excellent stock of materials to choose from, and I think I've chosen what'll be the most suitable for my purpose. I've had my measurements taken and I'm going again in a fortnight's time for the first fitting. After I've tried the suit on, the tailor will probably find it necessary to make a few alterations, and he'll mark the places for pockets, buttons and buttonholes. Then he'll ask me to return later on for a final fitting just to make sure that the suit fits really well. When the suit's ready, I shall pay for it and get a receipt. My wife has also been buying some new clothes this week. She's bought herself a ready-made suit, that's to say, a coat and skirt. She's been trying to find a silk blouse to match, so far without success. But when she went to the milliner's, she did succeed in getting just the right hat, in the very latest fashion, or so she says. It would seem that the one she bought three weeks ago is already out of date.

Ex. 10

An English tourist found himself in Norway with only enough money in his pocket to pay his passage back.

283

As he knew that it would take him only two days to get to England, he decided that he could easily do without food. So he went on board the steamer and bought a ticket.

He closed his ears to the sound of the lunch bell. When dinner time came he refused the invitation to accompany a fellow-traveller to the saloon, saying that he didn't feel well.

The next morning he didn't go to breakfast and at lunch time he again stayed in his cabin. At dinner time he was so hungry that he could not stand it any longer.

"I'm going to eat," he said, "even if they throw me overboard afterwards."

At dinner he ate everything the steward put in front of him and felt ready for the coming row. "Bring me the bill," he said to the steward.

"The bill, sir?" said the man. "Yes," answered the traveller.

"There isn't any bill," was the answer, "on the ship meals are included in the passage money."
