Bessie is a little girl. She is only five. She does not go to school and, of course, she does not know how to read and to write. But her sister Mary is a schoolgirl. She is ten. One day Mary sees her little sister at the table with a pen in her hand and some paper in front of her. “What are you doing, Bessie?” she says. Bessie answers: “I am writing a letter to my friend Kitty.” But you don’t know how to write,” says her sister. “Well,” says Bessie, “it doesn’t matter, because Kitty does not know how to read.”
Бесси маленькая девочка. Ей только пять лет. Она не ходит в школу и, конечно, не знает, как читать и писать. Но её сестра Мэри уже школьница. Ей десять. Однажды Мэри видит, что её сестрёнка сидит за столом с ручкой в руке и бумагой перед собой. «Что ты делаешь, Бесси?» - спрашивает она. Бесси отвечает: «Я пишу письмо моей подруге Китти». «Но ведь ты не умеешь писать», - говорит её сестра. «Ну, - говорит Бесси, - это неважно, потому что Китти не умеет читать».

Student: Sorry, I got stuck in a lift. It didn't work. This won't happen ever again, I promise.
