«Соседка, слышала ль ты добрую молву? - Вбежавши, Крысе Мышь сказала, - Ведь Кошка, говорят, попалась в когти льву? Вот отдохнуть и нам пора настала!» - «Не радуйся, мой свет, - Ей Крыса говорит в ответ, - И не надейся по-пустому! Коль до когтей у них дойдёт, То, верно, льву не быть живому: Сильнее кошки зверя нет!»

1What were people doing in High Street? 2Who was sitting in Cinderella's golden coach? 3What music was the town band playing? 4Was the parade going down Lombard Street and High Street? 5What was James Fleet doing at 6.30 pm?
You shouldn't speak with strangers. You should avoid walking along dark roads. You shouldn't go out at night. You shouldn't keep your phone in your hands when you are in the street.
