 354  The three bears, and Mrs Knight, and Mr Day, and the Dorkinses came to the village, too - nine of them in Mr Bliss’s car. They saw that a row was beginning. Binks was shouting that Mr Bliss was a thief and Seargent Boffin should arrest him and send him to prison. Mr Binks saw the car and shouted even louder, “He should be in prison! Look at my nice car, now bent and full of bears and strange folk.” “G-r-r-r,” said one of the bears and Mr Binks stepped back and fell into a ditch. Mr Bliss owed money to everyone. Mr Day wanted a new barrow, Mrs Knight wanted a new cart, the Dorkinses wanted a new soup-tureen, Mr Binks wanted his money... Poor Mr Bliss knew nothing of all this. He was having new troubles! When he got to his house, he looked up at his chimney and saw the Girabbit’s head sticking out of the chimney. The Girabbit was munching one of his carpets. That was why he looked like a flag from far away... When the crowd from the village came to Mr Bliss’s house, they all shouted: “Mr Bliss!” Mr Bliss darted indoors and turned all the keys. “I want my money!” shouted Mr Binks. No answer. “He wants his money!” they all shouted in chorus. No answer. “Arrest him,” said Archie to Sergeant Boffin. “I will!” said Boffin. “Ha! ha! I see you,” said the Girabbit at that second sticking his head out of the chimney. He heard them, not saw them, but they did not know that. They looked up and saw him, and that was enough. They were astonished. In fact most of them fell flat on the spot. Then they got up and ran. They fell over one another in their hurry running as quickly as they could. lad [lsed] - парень; sergeant ['sci^ant] - сержант; police [pa'li.s] - полиция; station [’steijn] - участок (полицейский); spend [spend] - проводить (время)] row [rau] - шумная ссора, спор; thief [0i:f] - вор; arrest [o'rest] - арестовывать; bent [bent] - погнутый; folk [fouk] - люди, народ; owe [ou] -быть должным, задолжать; trouble [ЧглЫ] - неприятность; stick out ['stik'aut] - высовывать; munch [rnAntJ] - жевать, грызть; dart [dcut] - бросаться, кидаться; chorus [’koras] -xop; astonish [as'tonij] - удивлять. 354 |
