elling is very important to them, and many Gypsies are unhappy
if they have to stay in one place. Because of this, it is difficult
for Gypsy children to go to school, and Gypsies are often illiter-
ate. In some places, the education authorities try to arrange spe-
cial travelling schools for Gypsy children, so that they can get
the same education as other children.

Text 1
It was two thousand years ago. Two Viking leaders were go-
ing with their men (3) to Ireland in two big boats. The first
leader’s name was O’Neill, the name of the other is not known
to us. They (1) agreed that the first man who touched the Irish
land would be the king of it. At last they were very near the
Irish land. The two boats were going faster and faster. Unfortu-
nately O’Neill’s boat was not as fast (5) as the other one (2).
And O’Neill had an idea. He wanted to be the king so much
that, when the boats were very near the land, he quickly cut off
his right hand and threw it over to the land. He became the king
of Ireland because his hand was the first which touched the
land. This story explains (4) why there is a red right hand on
Irish soldiers’ coats.
