The first explorers to cross Australia
John Stuart decided to cross Australia from south to north in 1859. He wanted to win a prize offered by the South Australian government. This mean to travel across mountains and desert for 3.000 kilometers. He and his three companions kept riding for eight months before reaching the center of the continent. What had they expected to find? So far they had only succeeded in discovering a huge desert. On this expedition Stuart failed to reach the coast, and turned back ill and short of food. He tried to complete the journey they next year, but failed again.
Finally in 1861 he managed to arrive at the northern coast, near the modern city of Darwin. Ever since he has been famous for crossing the continent, though sadly he died soon after his return to Adelaide.

Индеец и два путешественника
Двое мужчин ехали по очень дикой части Америки. В течение многих дней они не видели ни современных домов, ни следов цивилизации. Они встретили лишь несколько деревянных хижин или палаток, в которых жили индейцы. Однажды они встретили старого индейца, который не работал, но охотился на животных и ел их. Он был очень умен и знал все про лес и животных живущих в нем, и многое другое. Он мог также говорить на английском языке довольно хорошо.
"Скажите, какая погода будет в ближайшие дни?- спросил его один из путешественников. "О," - сказал он. "Дождь идет, и ветер..." Затем будет снег в течение дня или двух, но затем солнце будет снова, и погода будет хорошей. "Эти старые индейцы, кажется, знают о природе больше, чем мы со всей нашей наукой", - сказал человек своему другу. Затем он повернулся к старому индейцу.
"Скажи мне, - сказал он, - откуда ты все это знаешь?" Индеец ответил: "Я слышал всё это по радио."
