AN EXPENSIVE DINNER

A gentleman sent home to his wife a parrot for a birthday present. On the same day his wife bought a chicken and said to the cook. “A bird is coming for to-night’s dinner. Cook it. “The parrot arrived first and he cooked it. Then the husband came for dinner. “What’s this? he asked as the cook served the parrot.

His wife had no other choice but to tell him all. “That’s too bad,” said the gentleman. “The bird could speak five languages!”

“Then, why didn’t it say a word?” asked his wife.

THE BOY AND THE CAKES

A train arrived at a small station. A passenger looked out of the window and saw a woman who was selling cakes. The gentleman wanted to buy one, but the woman was standing very far from the carriage.

As the gentleman didn’t want to go out he called a little boy whom he saw near by and asked him, “How much is a cake?” “Three pence, sir,” answered the boy. Then the gentleman gave him six pence and said. “Bring me a cake and with the other three pence buy one for yourself.”

A few minutes later the boy was back. He was eating a cake. He gave the gentleman three pence change and said, “There was only one cake, sir.”

A PIECE OF CHEESE

One day Mr. Wells came to see his friends Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. They were sitting at the table and having tea. There was milk and sugar, some ham and bread and butter on the table, but there was no cheese. The mistress of the house said, “I am sorry, I have no cheese in the house to-day” and gave Mr. Wells another cup of tea.

“Oh, it’s all right,” answered Mr. Wells, though he liked cheese most of all.

Mrs. Wilson’s little boy was also at the table. He didn’t say a word, but got up from his chair and hurried out of the room.

A few minutes later he came back and gave the guest a small piece of cheese. Mr. Wells was about to put it into his mouth when he said, “That’s a good boy! I see you have better eyes then your mother. Where have you found this piece of cheese?” The boy answered with a smile, “In the mouse-trap”.

A MODERN KITCHEN

A cook, who wanted to get a job, came to speak to mistress of the house. She asked her what dishes they liked to have and the mistress said they had three meals a day and liked to have ham and eggs for breakfast, oxtail soup and beef-steak for dinner, chicken or fish for supper. Then the mistress of the house took the cook to the kitchen and showed her the electric stove, the washing and drying-machines and other apparatus.

“It won’t be difficult for you to cook in our house,“ said the mistress, ”I don’t think so,“ answered the cook and began to put on her coat. She was about to leave when the mistress said in surprise:

“Aren’t you going to stay?”

“No,” said the cook, “Your kitchen is too good for me. It’s an engineer you want, not a cook.”

a cook – кухарка, повар; a job - робота; a stove - пічка; apparatus - апарат.
