1. Read the story and render it in English:

Молодий чоловік дуже поспішав. Він застрибнув у таксі і прокричав водієві: «Їдь дуже швидко!»

Вони обминали кути на великій швидкості та випадково запобігали сутичок. Після приблизно десяти хвилин такої шаленої їзди молодий чоловік подумав: «Вже час нам приїхати». Коли він подивився у вікно, то був дуже здивований: «В мене таке відчуття, ніби я ніколи не бачив цієї частини міста раніше,» промовив він до себе. «Куди ви їдете?» запитав він водія. «Вам краще не обманювати мене, та сказати одразу.» «Але я не знаю,» відповів водій. «Якщо б ви мені сказали, куди вас відвезти, я б зараз їхав у цьому напрямку.» І молодий чоловік зрозумів, що трапилось. «Бідний я, бідний,» подумав він. «Як я жалкую, що не сказав йому, куди їхати. А зараз здається, що я спізнився на мій поїзд та спізнююся на своє власне весілля.»

3. Open the brackets using the verbs in oblique moods. The Farmer and the Apples

A rich farmer in England once had a friend who grew very good apples. One day this friend gave the farmer a fine young tree and told him to take it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the present but when he came home he did not know where to plant the tree. He thought: “If I (to plant) it near the road, strangers will steal the apples. If I (to plant) it in my field, my neighbours (to come) at night and (to rob) me. If I (to plant) it near my house, my children (to take) the apples.”

At last he planted the tree deep in a wood where nobody could see it. But the tree could not grow without sunlight and died. When the farmer’s friend heard of it he got very angry and asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a bad place. “Where could I plant it?” said the farmer. “If I (to plant) the tree near the road, strangers (to steal) the apples. If I (to plant) it in the field, my neighbours (to come) at night and (to rob) me. If I (to plant) it near my house, my children (to take) the apples.” “But then somebody (to enjoy) the apples,” said his friend, “and now nobody can have them and you have lost a fine tree.”
