.pdfAn offer. Discussing Tests and Packing
“Now, I’d like to offer you a fine lot of seven cases of Castile soap. The starting price is 11 dollars and 75 cents a case.”
At first Cowperwood was not going to take part in the auction but af ter he had made calculations he understood he could make a good profit.
... People began to offer their price. Soon the price went up to 30 dollars. At that moment Frank decided to participate. When he offered 32 dollars the auctioneer noticed the boy standing in front of him.
“32 — one, 32 — two, sold! Sold to Mr ...?” The man was waiting for the boy’s reply.
“I am Frank Cowperwood, my father works for the Third National Bank. I’ll have to run to the Bank and get the money.”
“Don’t be long. If you are not here in an hour, I’ll sell the soap.” The boy first ran to the store where his mother did her shopping. Mr
Dalrymple, the owner of the store, agreed to buy the soap offered by Cowperwood only if he delivered the goods himself. They settled the matter quickly: Frank was to deliver his case of soap to the store and the owner was to pay him 62 dollars in cash.
Then Frank ran to his father’s bank.
“What’s the trouble?” the father asked when the boy appeared in his office.
Frank explained the situation to him. He said that he could make a profit of 30 dollars and wouldn’t have to do anything special for it.
The father was proud of Frank, who was very clever for his age. He gave him the money and the boy hurried back to the auction where he paid for the soap.
When he delivered it to the store and got the money he understood that since that moment his life would be devoted to business.
(based on Th. Dreiser’s “The Financier”)

A PIECE OF STEAK
When Tom King finished his poor supper he felt that he was still hungry. He alone had eaten that evening. The two children had been sent to bed early without supper. His wife had eaten nothing either.
Tom King was a professional boxer. Boxing was a business with him. People came to watch boxing matches and they paid money to see boxers knocking each other out. The winner took the prize.
Tom had often been a winner. But it was when he was younger. Now he was forty and he felt how hard it became to knock out his partner in the ring. He had no illusions [I'lu^onz] about his future and he was sorry that he hadn’t learned a trade1 in due time. When he was about to leave the room Lizzy said: “Good luck, Tom. You must beat him”.
“Yes, if I win, I’ll get thirty pounds. If I lose, I’ll get nothing — not even a penny to get home. Good-bye, Lizzy.”
That night Tom King was to fight against Sandal from New Zealand ['zi:bnd]. Sandal had everything to win the match. He was young, strong and tireless.
When Tom came to the club, a crowd of fans was waiting outside the door. Inside, on the way to the dressing room, he met the secretary, a young man, who shook his hand.
“How do you feel, Tom?” he asked. “Fit as a fiddle,2” King answered.
The audience applauded when Tom and Sandal appeared in the ring. They shook hands and immediately the fight started.
The first rounds were a success for Tom. He knew how to fight young boxers like Sandal. In the ninth round King struck three blows and each time Sandal fell on the floor. And each time the referee counted the ninth second before Sandal got up.
626
Sport
He had one advantage over Tom: it was his youth against Tom’s ex perience. In the eleventh round Tom King felt he was weakening quickly. And with a bitter feeling he remembered the piece of steak he had not had before the fight. Tom struck a blow but is wasn’t heavy enough and not quick enough. He struck another blow but nearly fell down himself. Tom saw the danger. Sandal’s blows were becoming harder and harder. Suddenly Tom felt a sharp pain. When he opened his eyes, he was in his comer. The audience was shouting and applaud ing Sandal. Tom had lost the match.
When Tom went out into the street he remembered his wife who was waiting for him. He would have to tell her he had lost. That was harder than any knock-out. He sat down on a bench and cried3.
(After Jack London)
1a trade — зд. ремесло
2 fit as a fiddle — в полном порядке, в добром здравии 3 to cry — плакать
VISITING THE STADIUM
Once Mr Adams invited Mr Borisov to the Wembley Stadium.
Adams: It’s a perfect day for football, isn’t it?
Borisov: Yes, it’s a beautiful day and I hope the weather willkeep
|
fine. Which team do you think will win? Liverpool or |
Adams: |
Nottingham Forest? |
I’m a Liverpool fan myself. But no m atter who will win it’s |
|
Borisov: |
going to be an interesting game. |
One of the teams is already on the field. Which team is that? |
|
Adams: |
That’s the Liverpool team. I see that Digby, the reserve cen |
|
ter forward, is playing because Pratt is ill. I hope he won’t let |
|
his team down. He hasn’t got the experience, but I like his style |
|
of playing. |
Borisov: Look! The game is about to start. Here comes the referee. |
|
Adams: |
Now they have started the game, Nottingham Forest is a |
|
pretty good team, but I’ve been supporting Liverpool since |
Borisov: |
my college years. |
Look, Liverpool have the ball and they are going to score. |
|
Adams: |
What a shame!* They have lost a good chance of scoring a |
Borisov: |
goal. They are in bad shape today. |
Don’t get too excited, it’s only a game! |
