BUGGING SHOWROOMS

* to bug – устанавливать подслушивающие устройства

A couple (to leave) alone in the showrooms have been looking at a brown Panda for some time when the salesman comes out of the back office (to say):

"Well, Fanny, how do you like our new Panda?" (to point) at the car.

"Your husband McKinley told me."

The husband says: "I never told you her name. And how did you know my name was McKinley (never to meet) me before?"

The salesman says: "Well, honestly, I did not know but I took a wild guess. You look like a Fanny and a McKinley. Now let's talk about the car. You want to have a brown car with brown leather seats."

Fanny says (to look) at the salesman: "You must be a mind reader."

"(to be) in this business for many years I know that certain people like certain colours."

"Let's get out of here," says Fanny (to feel) nervous.

McKinley asks (to turn) to the salesman: "Can I talk to my wife alone?" "Of course," the salesman answers (to walk) off to the back office and (to

leave) the couple alone.

"Let's tell him we'll think it over and be back next Tuesday," McKinley starts (to whisper) to his wife.

(to rush) out of the back office the salesman shouts: "Could you make it Wednesday? I don't work on Tuesday, and I'd hate to lose the sale."

Traffic in Britain is getting heavier all the time and the roads of most big cities are almost permanently blocked by a slow moving procession of metal cages.* One-way streets and traffic lights have not settled the problem. The motorist driving in crowded towns gets very little pleasure out of it.

Some time ago, a friend of mine who works in a part of the city I do not know very well, invited me to call on him. It took me hours to get there and I drove round and round looking for a place to park my car. At last I parked it in a backstreet. As I was already three quarters of an hour late I hurried off on foot. Walking quickly along the street, I could not help thinking that, nowadays, it is much easier to walk than to drive.

At noon, just as I was leaving my friend's office, it suddenly struck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car. I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere! I would simply have to look for it myself. Walking down street after street, I looked over each car closely and was happy to see a small green car just behind an old cart.** But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own, it belonged to someone else! Feeling quite tired now, I decided to drop the search for a while and went off for lunch. Some time later, I left the restaurant and was

*клетка

**тележка

walking down the street. Turning the corner, I nearly jumped for joy: my car was right in front of me — and there was no mistake this time. I could not help smiling as I approached it. Stuck on the windscreen was a little ticket which informed me that the car had been visited by a policeman in my absence. On top of all, I had broken the traffic regulations!

ПУДИНГ НЕ ДЛЯ ВСЕХ

В старой английской.сказке рассказывается, что в ночь на рождество приходит Дед Мороз и приносит всем подарки. Но не все англичане пользуются благосклонностью Санта Клауса (так называют в Англии Деда Мороза).

Среди рождественских рекламных объявлений и советов, заполняющих страницы лондонских газет, нелегко найти объяснение этому. Но не подлежит никакому сомнению, что среди обездоленных безработные, члены их семей, сотни тысяч пенсионеров, инвалидов и бездомных.

Разные люди по-разному нынче встретили рождество. Пятеро молодых искателей приключений Плимутского клуба отправились на вершину самой высокой горы Англии пик Сноудон, поднявшись туда с индейкой и традиционным английским пудингом.

А вот восемь мужчин и женщин из Стивэнджа решили обойтись без индейки. Они провели холодное и голодное рождество, устроив голодовку в центре города, чтобы привлечь внимание к тем миллионам людей,

которые остались на праздник голодными.

Мрачными красками рисует репортер одной из лондонских газет положение в Излингтоне. Большинство из 54 тысяч домов и квартир Излингтона — это трущобы, где люди живут в невероятной бедности и тесноте. Эти люди тоже никогда не празднуют рождество.

THE DANGER OF LYING IN BED

after Mark Twain

Last year I travelled twenty thousand miles, almost always by rail-me year before, I travelled over twenty-five thousand miles, half bv sea and half by rail; and the year before that I travelled about ten thousand miles by rail. I suppose, if I added all the little journeys here and there, I may say I have travelled sixty thousand miles during the three years I have mentioned, and never had an accident.

I would say to myself every morning, "Now, I have managed to keep safe so far, and so there is a greater chance that I shall have an accident this time. I will be wise,* and buy an accident ticket.** Then, when I have my accident, I shall be paid something." But I went to bed that night without one bone broken.

I got tired of that, and started buying accident tickets that lasted a month. I said to myself, "One of them must bring me some money."

But I was mistaken. I never got any money. I could read of railway accidents every day — the newspapers were full of them; but somehow they never happened to me. I found that I had spent a lot of money on accident tickets, and had nothing for it. I began to look around for somebody who had

*умный

**The idea is this: a person pays a small sum of money and receives a ticket. Then, if he is hurt in an accident, he receives some money.

won money in this way. I found lots of people who had paid the money for a ticket, but not one who had ever had an accident or been paid anything.

I stopped buying accident tickets, and made a study of the problem. The result was very surprising. THE DANGER WAS NOT IN TRAVELLING, BUT IN STAYING AT HOME.
