7. Translate using Past Tenses:

В то утро бабушка варила варенье, и в доме стоял очень вкусный запах. Дик попросил дать ему варенья попробовать, но бабушка дала ему одну чайную ложечку и сказала, что варенье перед обедом не едят, а едят его только после обеда на десерт. И вот уже пять банок были наполнены отличным вареньем, и бабушка пошла отдохнуть. Вскоре Дик заметил, что она спит. Он побежал на кухню и стал есть варенье столовой ложкой. Когда одна банка была опустошена, Дик вымыл ее и поставил на полку. Позже он потратил много усилий на то, чтобы уверить бабушку, что она сварила только 4 банки варенья, а не пять. Однако она не поверила ему, и он был наказан.
