The House on the Border
We had moved into the house the day before. It was a nice place. That morning when I walked out, our nextdoor neighbor, an old man, was watching the street with avid curiosity and called us from his window.
“You shouldn’t have rented that place,” he cackled. I stared at him coldly. “Is this a new way of greeting neighbors?” I growled. “What do you mean we shouldn’t have moved in there?” He was not fazed.
“Thieves break into that house often,” he announced with relish. “It’s my neighborly duty to warn you.”
As if the thieves couldn’t break into his house too! Why should robbers favor only ours? Rather annoyed, I entered the grocery store at the corner to buy cigarettes. “There are such characters around,” I mumbled.
“What’s the matter?” asked the grocer.
“Some old goat told me that thieves usually rob the house we just moved into,” I
complained.
The grocer nodded. “Well, the old goat was right. You shouldn’t have rented that house.
It’s robbed frequently.”
I was furious. Without answering him, I walked out of the store. The whole day was
ruined, naturally. I fumed till evening. That night a couple from our block visited us. They were nice people.
The Doll's House
by Katherine Mansfield
با ترجمه فارسی
When dear old Mrs. Hay went back to town after staying with the Burnells she sent the children a doll's house. It was so big that the carter and Pat carried it into the courtyard, and there it stayed, propped up on two wooden boxes beside the feed-room door. No harm could come of it; it was summer. And perhaps the smell of paint would have gone off by the time it had to be taken in. For, really, the smell of paint coming from that doll's house ("Sweet of old Mrs. Hay, of course; most sweet and generous!") -- but the smell of paint was quite enough to make any one seriously ill, in Aunt Beryl's opinion. Even before the sacking was taken off. And when it was . . .
There stood the doll's house, a dark, oily, spinach green, picked out with bright yellow. Its two solid little chimneys, glued on to the roof, were painted red and white, and the door, gleaming with yellow varnish, was like a little slab of toffee. Four windows, real windows, were divided into panes by a broad streak of green. There was actually a tiny porch, too, painted yellow, with big lumps of congealed paint hanging along the edge.
THE TRAVELLING MUSICIANS
دانلود متن انگلیسی داستان و فایل صوتی
An honest farmer had once an ass that had been a faithful servant to him a great many years, but was now growing old and every day more and more unfit for work. His master therefore was tired of keeping him and began to think of putting an end to him; but the ass, who saw that some mischief was in the wind, took himself slyly off, and began his journey towards the great city, ‘For there,’ thought he, ‘I may turn musician.’
After he had travelled a little way, he spied a dog lying by the roadside and panting as if he were tired. ‘What makes you pant so, my friend?’ said the ass. ‘Alas!’ said the dog, ‘my master was going to knock me on the head, because I am old and weak, and can no longer make myself useful to him in hunting; so I ran away; but what can I do to earn my livelihood?’ ‘Hark ye!’ said the ass, ‘I am going to the great city to turn musician: suppose you go with me, and try what you can do in the same way?’ The dog said he was willing, and they jogged on together.
