ответ: My name is Petya. When I was young I was at a rock concert dedicated to the Beatles. So that's why I wanted to tell you about it, because a terrible incident happened on it. One of the group's soloists ended up in intensive care with severe pelvic and head injuries. Unfortunately he died. The police investigated this daunting case soon after two years of waiting. The rest of the band mourned him, and soon the last album of what was left of him would be recorded in memory of him. This situation teaches us that we need to live like the last day, and you never know when you will have it.

Молодец, Пинки!
Сегодня воскресенье. Это наш день уборки. Мы и наш дом убираем в воскресенье, и принимаем ванну в воскресенье.
Сейчас Пинки убирает кухню и ванную. Я убираю в столовой. Блэки убирает спальню. Это весело. Нам нравится. Когда дом чист, Пинки говорит:
— Теперь давайте поработаем в саду. Давайте польем цветы и деревья в саду.
— О нет! — кричим мы с Блэки. — Мы не можем работать в саду. Мы устали.
— Но подумайте о деревьях и цветах! — говорит Пинки. — Вы пьете молоко и воду каждый день, а они не могут этого сделать. У них нет молока или воды в холодильнике. Им хочется пить.
— Откуда ты знаешь? — спрашиваем мы. — Ты говоришь с деревьями?
— Нет, — говорит Пинки, и она очень сердита. — Но я знаю! Смотрите!
Пинки берет стакан воды и поливает пол.
— Вы видите воду? — спрашивает она.
— Да, — отвечаем мы.
— Пол не хочет пить. Он не пьет воду, - говорит Пинки. — Теперь пойдем в сад.
Пинки берет еще стакан воды, и мы идем в сад.
Подходим к дереву. Пинки поливает дерево.
—Смотрите! — говорит Пинки. — Дерево пьет! На земле сейчас нет воды.
Мы смотрим на землю. Она влажная, но на земле нет воды.
— Деревья хотят пить! — говорит Пинки. — Теперь мне их полить.
— Пинки, ты очень умная! — говорю я. — Ты умеешь понимать деревья.
И мы поливаем все деревья и цветы в саду.
Миссис По всегда навещает нас по воскресеньям. Она смотрит на чистые комнаты, на деревья и цветы в саду. Она говорит: «Хорошие котята!»
