Перевод текста androcles and the lion

∧ω∧ok 

it happened in ancient times that a slave named androcles escaped from his master and fled into the forest, and he wandered there for a long time until he was weary and well nigh spent with hunger and despair.just then he heard a lion near him moaning and groaning and at times roaring terribly. tired as he was androcles rose up and rushed away from the lion; but as he made his way through the bushes he stumbled over the root of a tree and fell down twisting his ankle, and when he tried to get up there he saw the lion coming towards him, limping on three feet and holding his forepaw in front of him.poor androcles was in despair; he had not strength to rise and run away, and there was the lion coming upon him. but when the great beast came up to him instead of attacking him it kept on moaning and groaning and looking at androcles, who saw that the lion was holding out his right paw, which was covered with blood and much swollen. looking more closely at it androcles saw a great big thorn pressed into the paw, which was the cause of all the lion’s trouble. plucking up courage he seized hold of the thorn and drew it out of the lion’s paw, who roared with pain when the thorn came out, but soon after found such relief from it that he rubbed up against androcles and showed, in every way that he knew, that he was truly thankful for being relived from such pain.instead of eating him up he brought him a young deer that he had slain, and androcles managed to make a meal from it. for some time the lion continued to bring the game he had killed to androcles, who became quite fond of the huge beast.but one day a number of soldiers came marching through the forest and found androcles, and as he could not explain what he was doing they took him prisoner and brought him back to the town from which he had fled. here his master soon found him and brought him before the authorities, and he was condemned to death because he had fled from his master.now it used to be the custom to throw murderers and other criminals to the lions in a huge circus, so that while the criminals were punished the public could enjoy the spectacle of a combat between them and the wild beasts.so androcles was condemned to be thrown to the lions, and on the appointed day he was led forth into the arena and left there alone with only a spear to protect him from the lion. the emperor of rome was in the royal box that day and gave the signal for the lion to come out and attack androcles. but when it came out of its cage and got near androcles, what do you think it did? instead of jumping upon him it rubbed up against him and stroked him with its paw and made no attempt to do him any harm.it was of course the lion which androcles had met in the forest. the emperor, surprised at seeing such a strange behavior in so cruel a beast, summoned androcles to him and asked him how it happened that this particular lion had lost all its cruelty of character. so androcles told the emperor all that had happened to him and how the lion was showing its gratitude for his having relieved it of the thorn. thereupon the emperor pardoned androcles and ordered his master to set him free, while the lion was taken back into the forest and let loose to enjoy freedom once more.

это произошло в древности, что раб по имени androcles сбежал от своего хозяина и убежал в лес, и он бродил там долго, пока он не устал и хорошо провел почти от голода и отчаяния.именно тогда он услышал, как лев, рядом с ним, ахая и охая и временами рев страшно. устал, как он был androcles поднялся и бросился прочь от льва; но как он пробрался через

From monday to friday i think about weekends or how i will spend saturday and sunday. i don’t have many friends, that’s why i have to come up with the entertaining ideas for me on my own. i’m not a couch potato and hate spending my time only beside the tv-set. i’m likely to go somewhere on foot just to have a walk if i have no other plans. active life captivates me most of all. on saturday morning i never wake up too late. i’d rather wake me up at dawn than lie slugging in a bed till midday. after drinking a cup of coffee, i spend 15 minutes on reading the news about politics. as always they promise to give people high salary and pension but their words speak louder than actions and not the reverse. i don’t get upset, drink another cup of coffee and prepare for a journey to the movies. sometimes i change this plan and go to the exhibition if there’s one in my town. i love visiting operas, theaters and plays too, but last saturday all tickets were reserved in advance. when i came up to a box-office, a ticket seller told me that it was late – no tickets left. as a rule, my day off is always full of events. i never get bored and even if there’s no place where i might go to, i make an effort to do my best and spend this day productively. i read books or learn something, do sports and make plans for the next weekends.
