Text “He never heard her in «Carmen»”

Once Mark Twain was invited to the opera. He accepted the invitation. The box where he had a seat belonged to a very rich man. The rich man and his wife were very proud because all their friends saw them with the famous writer in their own box. During the performance the man and his wife talked all that time. They talk, loudly and so much that it was often impossible for Mark Twain to listen to the opera.

Mark Twain was very much annoyed. He liked music and always enjoyed listening to the opera. He realized that neither the rich man nor his wife understood music and they came to the opera just to show that the famous writer was a friend of theirs.

Mark Twain was very sorry he had accepted their invitation. That was very foolish of him. Still there was no way out. He had to wait until the end.

Towards the end of the performance the rich lady turned to Mark Twain and smiled. She was quite sure that the famous writer had enjoyed the opera. So she invited Mark Twain to listen to another opera. She told him that she and her husband would be happy to see him in the box the following Friday. She added that “Carmen” would be on. The great writer expressed his gratitude for the invitation and said:

“That’ll be fine. I never heard you in “Carmen”.

Finish the sentences.

1 .He took his seat in the box...

a) on the left side of the stage; b) opposite the stage; c) belonged to a very rich man.

Text “The last gold piece”

Once a rich merchant arranged dinner for poor people, ex-soldiers. Mr. Lebeau was among the guests. After dinner Grandin, the host, showed his guests a large gold coin. Each man examined it with interest as it passed around the long table. However, talking and drinking the men soon forgot all about the coin. Later on the guests were about to leave the house. Grandin thought of the coin and asked for it. But the coin was gone. The village lawyer being one of the guests suggested that everybody should be searched. All at once agreed but Lebeau. His friends looked at him with surprise. “I cannot allow it”, he said. “I did not steal the coin. I will not allow anybody to search me”, he repeated. One by one the rest turned out their pockets but the coin was not found. Lebeau would not turn out his pocket though his friends were persuading him to. It seemed suspicious to everybody. From that day on nobody respected Lebeau. A few years passed.

When this episode had become almost legendary, Grandin decided to rebuild his house. A workman found the gold coin between two planks of the floor of the room in which the dinner had taken place.

Grandin hurried to Lebeau’s poor home and told him that he had found the coin and apologized for having suspected him. “But why did you not allow us to search you if you had not taken the coin?” he asked. Lebeau answered, “ Because I was a thief all the same. For weeks my family and I had not enough to eat and my pockets were full of food that I had taken from the table to carry home for my wife and hungry children”.
