chick was very boastful.
"You are small, you
must stay in our barn, you must not go into the yard", said Mother Hen.
"I don't want to stay in
the barn", said the chick and ran out into the yard.
An hour later the bad chick
came back and began to boast.
"Everybody is afraid of
me in the yard", said the boastful chick.
"In the yard I saw a very
big rat. But the moment I came to it, the rat ran away more dead than
alive".
What the boastful chick said
was, of course, far from the truth.
He saw the big rat, but it was
in a rat-trap,
"What happened next? Come
on tell us!" shouted the chick's brothers and sisters. They wanted to
know the story of their have brother.
"Oh, well, then I saw a
dog, ten times bigger than the rat!" said the boastful chick.
"The dog began to bark at
me. But the moment I came to it, the dog ran away more dead than alive".

Little girl left him on the ground.
"Are you telling the
truth?" asked Mother Hen.
"Of course, mother, it's
the truth", said the chick.
"You are a hero!"
shouted the chicks.
At that time a little grey
mouse ran across the barn.
"Help! Help!" cried
the boastful chick. "This animal will eat me up!" All the chicks
began to laugh.
"Shame on you", said
Mother Hen. "You are not brave. Now we see that you are boastful. Did the
rat run away from you?" "The rat was in a rat-trap", said, the
chick. "Did the dog run away from you?" "It was a little

A broken vase
9 form
The young man was going to marry a
beautiful girl. One day the girl said to him that the next day she would celebrate
her birthday and invited him to her birthday party. The young man was eager to
make her a present, so he went to a gift shop. There he saw many beautiful
things. Of all the things he particularly liked the vases. But they were very
expensive and he had very little money so he had to leave the shop without
buying anything. Making for the door he suddenly heard the noise: one of the
vases fell on the floor and broke to pieces. A brilliant idea came to his mind.
He came up to the counter and asked the salesman to wrap up the broken vase.
The salesman got a little surprised but did what the young man asked him to.
The young man feeling very
happy, took the parcel and went straight to the girl's place. By the time he
entered the room the guests had already gathered. Everybody was enjoying the
party. Some of the people were dancing, others were talking, joking and
laughing. Saying "Many happy returns of the day" the young man told
the girl that he had bought a small present for her. With these words he began
to unwrap the parcel. Suddenly he got pale and said: "I am afraid, I have
broken it. There were so many people in the bus..." But when he unwrapped
the parcel, he saw that the salesman had wrapped up each piece of the vase separately.
