Каменный суп
Как-то раз очень голодный солдат пришел в дом к старухе. Но старуха была очень скупой. Она сказала, что у неё нет никакой еды. "Ох", - сказал солдат. "Как жаль. У меня есть волшебный камень. Я могу сделать суп из него. Но мне нужно немного воды". "У меня есть много воды", - сказала жадная старуха, - "Волшебный камень, да?". Она принесла большую кастрюлю с водой. Солдат опустил в неё камень. Затем он попробовал суп. "Он очень вкусный" - сказал он. "Нужно добавить немного соли и перца". Старуха принесла немного соли и перца. Через некоторое время он сказал: "Нужно добавить какие-то овощи. Очень жаль, если у вас нет овощей". Женщина убежала и принесла пару картофелин, морковок, бобов и большую луковицу. Солдат положил овощи в кастрюлю. "Он почти готов. Но нужно немножко мяса. Очень жаль, если у вас нет мяса". Женщина побежала на кухню и принесла немного ветчины и сосисок. Солдат добавил их в кастрюлю. "Правильно, - сказал солдат, - Теперь я не вижу камень. Это значит, что суп готов. Хлеб очень хорошо сочетается с каменным супом. Очень жаль, если у вас нет хлеба". "У меня есть кусочек хлеба", - сказала женщина. Она побежала на кухню и вернулась с буханкой хлеба, маслом и куском пирога. Старуха попробовала суп. "М-м-м. Суп очень вкусный, и ты приготовил его всего лишь с этим волшебным камнем". Перед тем как уйти, солдат сказал: "Это волшебный камень. Ты можешь оставить его себе. Но запомни, для лучшего супа из камня тебе понадобится кусочек мяса, пару овощей и немножко соли и перца".
<span>It is not difficult for me to imagine the city of my dreams. It is large enough and crowded. It has many beautiful buildings. Many houses in the city center are multi-storey, they have offices. And on its outskirts are residential buildings. <span>These houses are low.
</span>In the city of my dreams there are many trees and flower beds. And in each of its districts there is a park where you can take a walk or relax while sitting on a bench. In such parks there are grounds specially equipped for walking dogs. In addition, in every park of the city of my dreams I would like to see a pond on the surface of which swans swans or ducks. Alleys of parks are decorated with sculptures and fountains. They also have playgrounds. <span>And in one of the corners there is a small stage where singers and musicians perform on weekends and holidays.
</span>Transport in the city of my dreams goes so often that all passengers have enough seats and can not stand. In the buses, trams, subway cars under the ceiling fixed TVs, which show passengers good movies. Travel in public transport citizens of the city of my dreams pay a special card. <span>This card is universal - it can pay in any kind of transport.
</span>Many residents of this city are cycling, so there are many bicycle parking lots on its streets. Because of the lack of a large amount of air, the air in the city is clean and fresh. <span>Even on its streets there are special devices that moisturize the air,
so even in extreme heat move around the streets comfortably.
</span><span>In winter, in the city of my dreams there is no ice, because the
asphalt on the streets is constantly heated by special installations.
</span>And in the city of my dreams there are shelters for homeless animals. Therefore, in its streets there are no stray dogs and cats. <span>They are all in the caring hands of shelter workers.</span></span>
