“Can’t you make a story of it?” he asked me. “Not a line,” said I. “There
is nothing interesting in this little adventure; but we have helped Ada. Let us try
to forget it,” said I. I didn’t want to give Tripp his dollar for whisky. Just as we
were walking toward the bus stop, Tripp took out his handkerchief, and I saw a
cheap silver watch chain. Something was hanging on the watch chain. It was a
half of a cent that had been cut into halves.
“What?” I said, looking at him with surprise. “Oh, yes,” he answered,
“my real name is George Brown. But what’s the use?” Without another word I
took Tripp’s whisky dollar out of my pocket and put it into his hand.
(After O. Henry)
Notes:
1. piece - кусок.
2. pale – бледный.
3. probably – вероятно.
4. to pass by – проходить мимо.
5. nonsense – ерунда, чепуха.
6. landlady – хозяйка пансиона.
7. boarding house – пансион, меблированные комнаты со столом.
2. Say what you have learned about:
1) Tripp; 2) Ada; 3) Chalmers.
Think and answer.
1. What made Tripp sure that Chalmers would get interested in the girl’s story?
2. Why couldn’t Ada marry the farmer without seeing George brown first?
3. Why did Tripp want the girl to leave New York?
4. Why didn’t Ada recognize Tripp?
5. Why didn’t Tripp tell Ada his real name?
Choose the proverb which best illustrates the idea of the story. Prove your
choice.
1. A good name is better than riches.
2. East or West, home is best.
3. Lost time is never found again.
Reading IV. Read the dialogue.
Money and paying
(At the greengrocer’s (овощной магазин))
- Good morning. Can I help you?
- Good morning. I’d like a kilo of potatoes, two tomatoes, and one
lettuce (кочан салата).
- A big one?
- Yes, a big one, please.
- Is this one big enough?
- Yes, it’s all right.
