Перевод текста: once a saw an advertisement in a magazine which said: "thin? weak? it`s not too late-yet! i can make you into a real man.just a few minutes every day with my wonder programme will give you a new body.write me, and you will receive details of my wonder programme immediately.act now-before it is too late.my address is: samuel strongfort, 199, 54 th street, new york, n.y." i was twelve then, and i decided to become the strongest man in my neighbourhood.i cut out an advertisement from the magazine, i wrote to mr.strongfort, put the letter in an envelope and sent it to him.he wrote back quickly.he said i was certainly intelligent-quite differentfrom the ordinary person, and that i would some day become somebody.his opinion about me was very much like my own.but it was nice to hear it from a man in new york-a man with the finest body in the world.in the letter there were several photos of mr.strongfort with his big muscles and powerful chest.he was a huge man, though he said he had once been small and weak.it was an honour to have him as a friend.
