Walker's ambition is to make a road right round the island and a great part of it already is built . His roads are the joy of his heart and he makes excursions constantly to see that they are keeping in order.
The roads are wide tracks which cut through the jungle. When they are laid, trees are rooted out and rocks are digged up. It is hard work, and all of it is done by the natives who are paid almost nominal wages for it.
Then the day came when the natives learned that larger sums are paid for such work in other places and they stopped the work. Now the wages are discussed in the village. The natives hold together and say they will not return to the work unless Walker agrees to accept their terms. The administrator only promises to give them a feast when the road is finished.
But when Walker found that no attempt was made to start work, he goes to the village and asks the men what silly game is played. The natives are calm and only say they will do it if he will give them a hundred pounds. Walker flies into a rage and says: «If you will not start in a week, take care». Then he turned round and walked away.

эмм,глупый вопрос :)
<span><span>This summer my parents
allowed me to spend June in sports camp with my friends. Our coach went with
us. It was unforgettable. The sea, the sun, the sails. </span><span>
<span>July I spent with my grandmother in the
village. I love to live there. Next to the house there is a small forest and a
river. I go there every year, so I have many friends among the local boys and
girls. We swam and sunbathed, walked in the forest, and, of course, I
helped my grandmother in the garden. </span>
<span>August was the most interesting month. Finally,
my dream came true, and my parents and I went to Moscow (напиши любой город) for two weeks. It
was great! Our relatives promised to show us the capital of Russia, and it
was the first time when I flew by plane! </span>
<span>The second half of August I was home, it was
necessary to have a rest after active holidays.</span></span></span>
