In 1608 an Englishman whose name was Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country and noted
down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found more interesting than
the others. In his diary Thomas wrote, “When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They don’t eat
with hands because, as they say , do not always have clean hands”.
Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks.
At home Thomas gave a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the servant brought
the steak, he took out a fork and began to eat like they did in Italy.
Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what it was, they all wanted to take a
good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very strange people because
the fork was very inconvenient.
Thomas Coryate tried to prove the opposite. He said it was not nice to eat with one’s fingers because
they were not always clean.
Everybody got angry at that . Did Mr. Coryate think that people inEngland always had dirty hands?
And weren’t the ten fingers they had enough for them?
Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first piece of meat he
took with the fork fell to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork away.
Only fifty years later people in England began to use forks.

Объяснение:
В 1608 году Италию посетил англичанин по имени Томас Кориате. Ему понравилась эта страна и он отметил
вниз по всем интересным вещам, которые он нашел. Но была еще одна вещь, которая показалась ему более интересной, чем эта.
другие. В своем дневнике Томас писал: "когда итальянцы едят мясо, они используют маленькие вилки. Они ничего не едят
с руками ведь, как говорится, не всегда бывают чистые руки".
Перед отъездом в Англию Томас Кориат купил несколько вилок.
Дома Томас устроил званый обед, чтобы показать свое изобретение друзьям. Когда слуга принес
бифштекс он взял вилкой и начал есть, как это делают в Италии.
Все посмотрели на него с удивлением. Когда он рассказал своим друзьям, что это такое, они все захотели взять его с собой.
хорошенько посмотри на эту странную штуку. Все его друзья говорили, что итальянцы были очень странными людьми, потому что
вилка оказалась очень неудобной.
Томас Кориат пытался доказать обратное. Он сказал, что нехорошо есть пальцами, потому что
они не всегда были чистыми.
Все рассердились на это
