(ಥ _ ಥ) I. Прочитайте текст “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” и выполните задания после текста
Once upon a time there lived four little rabbits and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter. They had a mother who loved them very much. The family lived under a very big tree.
“Now, my dear,” said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, “you may go into the forest but don’t go into Mr. McGregor’s garden: your father was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor. Now run along. I am going out.”
Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and umbrella, and went through the forest to the baker’s shop. She bought a loaf of brown bread and five buns.
Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail, who were good little bunnies, went to gather blackberries. But Peter, who was very naughty, ran to Mr. McGregor’s garden. First he ate some lettuces and some beans, and then he ate some radishes. But suddenly whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor! Mr. McGregor was watering young cabbages. He ran after Peter, calling out, “Stop thief!” Peter was afraid; he ran all over the garden and couldn’t find the way back to home. He lost his shoes among the cabbages, and the other shoe among the potatoes. He ran into the tool shed and jumped into a can which had a lot of water in it. Then he jumped out of the window. The window was too small for McGregor, and he was tired of running after Peter. He went back to his work.
