Английский язык | 10 - 11 классы

Alberto took one look at his new neighbours and knew that his life was going to get more difficult.

He watched them arrive in their big, noisy car and watched them get out.

There they were, two of them, as big and as noisy as their car, and smelly and stupid as well.

‘Terrible!

’ he thought.

‘How am I going to put up with them?

’ He went to tell Mimi.

Mimi was the friend he lived with.

‘Have you seen the new neighbours?

’ he asked her.

‘No’ she said.

‘Who are they?

‘Two of them.

The ones we don’t like.

Big and noisy and stupid and smelly.

Just like they always are.

‘Oh, no’ said Mimi.

‘How awful!

Still, I suppose we can just ignore them.

‘I suppose you’re right’ agreed Alberto.

‘We’ll just have to ignore them.

For a few days, then, Alberto and Mimi tried to ignore their new neighbours.

When the neighbours went out for a walk, Alberto and Mimi didn’t say hello to them.

When the neighbours were in their garden, Alberto and Mimi went inside.

This was ok for a few days, but, perhaps inevitably, things didn’t stay this way …

One day Alberto woke up from his sleep to find one of the neighbours in his garden.

“Mimi!

” he shouted.

‘Have you seen this?

He’s in our garden!

Look!

‘How terrible” said Mimi.

‘Let’s call our staff and make sure they get rid of him immediately!

Mimi went off to call their staff.

Two minutes later Alberto and Mimi’s head of staff was trying to get rid of the unwelcome neighbour.

‘Go on!

’ he shouted.

‘Get out of here!

Go home!

’ The neighbour didn’t say anything, but gave Alberto and Mimi’s head of staff a dirty look, then he went back into his garden.

Alberto and Mimi felt better, and then asked their head of staff to prepare their lunch for them.

However, it wasn’t enough.

Over the next few days Alberto and Mimi often found one or other or both of their new neighbours walking around their own garden.

It was terrible.

To show how they felt, Alberto and Mimi went into their neighbours’ garden, at night, when the neighbours were inside, and broke all the flowers.

The next morning one of the neighbours came to talk to Alberto.

‘Hey!

’ he said.

‘Hey you!

’ Alberto ignored him, but he continued talking.

‘You came into our garden last night and broke all the flowers!

’ Alberto didn’t say anything, but gave his neighbour a dirty look.

‘Now I’m in trouble!

Continued his neighbour.

They think I did it!

‘Who are ‘they’?

’ asked Alberto.

‘My owners, of course … ‘replied the neighbour.

‘Owners ?

’ said Alberto.

‘You have ‘owners’?

‘Course we do’ said his neighbour.

‘Don’t you?

‘Oh no’ replied Alberto.

‘We have staff.

Alberto went to tell Mimi that the neighbours didn’t have staff, but they had owners.

‘That’s not a surprise’ said Mimi.

‘That explains everything.

That’s why they’re so noisy and smelly and stupid.

We need to make their «owners» become «staff».

The next day, Alberto and Mimi were actually very friendly with their new neighbours.

They tried to explain how to make their owners become «staff.

»

‘Listen’ said Alberto to them.

‘It’s very easy.

First, understand that the house is your house, not theirs … ‘

‘And second’ said Mimi, ‘make sure that you are always clean.

‘Make sure they give you food whenever you want!

‘You should sit on the newspaper while they are reading it!

‘Sleep as much as possible – on their beds!

‘And finally, try not to bark, but to miaow instead.

But it was no good.

The neighbours just didn’t understand.

After a week, they gave up.

‘It’s no good’ said Mimi.

‘They’ll never understand – dogs have owners, cats have staff.

Peter and the children flew over the city and over fields and trees.

They flew over the sea, and

under the moon many times.

Suddenly, Peter pointed and called to the others.

“Look!

" he cried.

“There it is!

There's the Neverland!

The children knew at once, because it was the same as it was in their dreams.

They felt as if

they were coming home.

Peter turned to the others.

“Do you want an adventure?

” he asked.

“Or do you want tea first?

“Tea first, ” said Wendy quickly.

Michael held her hand tightly, nodding his head.

“What kind of adventure?

” asked John.

“There is a terrible pirate down there, ” said Peter.

“Let’s go down and get him!

“A pirate?

” asked John.

“A real one?

“Yes, " said Peter.

“His name is Hook, and he is the worst of all pirates.

“Is he big?

” asked John.

“Not as big as he was, ” said Peter.

“I cut his hand off, you see!

“So, he can't fight?

” asked John.

“oh, he can fight!

" said Peter.

“He has a sharp hook on the end of his arm.

"

The children looked down at the Neverland and saw that the whole island was full of life.

The

Lost Boys were looking for Peter.

The pirates were looking for the Lost Boys.

The Indians were

looking for the pirates, and the animals were looking for the Indians.

They all walked round and

round the island, but they did not meet because they were all walking at the same speed.

The first to stop moving were the boys.

They were tired, and they sat down on the ground near

their underground home.

Only the Lost Boys knew where the underground house was.

The

entrances were seven trees with holes in their trunks.

There was one hole for each Lost Boy (Nibs,

Tootles, Slightly, Curly and the Twins), and one for Peter Pan.

“Where is Peter?

” asked Nibs.

“I want him to come back and fight the pirates, " said Tootles.

“I am not afraid of the pirates, " said Slightly, but the other boys knew that this was not true.

Everyone was afraid of Hook and his men.

Just then, there was a sound.

“Quick!

The pirates are coming!

” cried Nibs.

The boys disappeared into their underground home like rabbits just before the pirates arrived.
