Dwell upon the title of the chapter. “Playing Pilgrims”
Read the translation of the passage from the poem given below. What is the main idea of it?
Пусть эта небольшая повесть
Все тайное со дна души поднимет, Заставит вас подумать и понять,
Что нету доблести превыше доброты.
Пусть эта небольшая повесть
Представится вам вроде пилигрима, Который вам поведал тьму историй,
Чтоб, их узнав, вы сделались мудрей.
Пусть эта небольшая повесть Заставит вас задуматься о ближнем
И, несмотря на множество преград,
Обучит вас науке милосердия.
Из Джона Беньяна

Какой радостью засветились лица этих несчастных, когда они увидели, что принесли им девочки!
О, майн готт! Верно, это сами ангелы снизошли до нас! - воскликнула женщина, и на глаза ее навернулись слезы.
Хороши ангелы в варежках и капюшонах! – усмехнулась Джо.
Ее слова были встречены дружным смехом.
Несколько минут спустя казалось, что в доме и впрямь потрудились добрые духи. Ханна принесла дрова и развела огонь в очаге, а потом, пустив в ход старые шляпы и собственную шаль, законопатила дыры в оконных проемах. А миссис Марч перепеленала малыша и угостила кашей и горячим чаем больную женщину, уверив ее, что не оставит их в беде.
Девочки накрыли стол и, рассадив детей вокруг пылающего очага, угощали их. Позавтракав, ребятишки принялись весело болтать, перемежая английские и немецкие слова, и девочки Марч с трудом понимали эту причудливую мешанину.
- Как хорошо! Дети-ангелы принесли нам поесть! Теперь у нас сытость в животах и тепло вот тут, - твердили несчастные дети, непрерывно работая челюстями и протягивая руки к весело потрескивающему пламени.
