Joy English - Английский с удовольствием! Lazy Jack
Hello, dear readers,
1. Cегодня вас ждет интересная сказка-притча на английском о ленивом Джеке.
Once upon a time there was a boy whose name was Jack, and he lived with his mother on a common. They were
very poor, and the old woman got her living by spinning, but Jack was so lazy that he would do nothing but bask in the sun in the hot weather, and sit by the corner of the hearth in the winter-time. So they called him Lazy Jack. His mother could not get him to do anything for her, and at last told him, one Monday, that if he did not begin to work for his porridge she would turn him out to get his living as he could.
This roused Jack, and he went out and hired himself for the next day to a neighbouring farmer for a penny; but as he was coming home, never having had any money before, he lost it in passing over a brook. "You stupid boy," said his mother, "you should have put it in your pocket."
"I'll do so another time," replied Jack.
2. А для смеха - день эта неделя первоапрельская - вот такой анекдот, about blondes:
Two blondes are talking:
- Sveta, do
you know that Apocalypse is coming?
- Certainly. That`s why I decided to get most fun of it: take loans in banks, bought me a new Jeep, flat, furniture, fur coat and a trip to Paris for a week.
- But if Apocalypse still will not come?
- For me it will definitely be if I have to pay
