28. Read the skeleton story of the Golden Apples and do the task after it.

The Golden Apples (a Greek legend)

When Hera married Zeus, she was given some golden apples. She had them planted in her garden near the Atlas mountains. The attractive apples were guarded by an immortal dragon with a hundred heads and by the three Nymphs called the Hesperides.

One of Heracles' labours was to find the country of the Hesperides and to get some apples from Hera's garden. Heracles had many adventures on the way. One of them was wrestling with Antaeus [æn'ti:əs]. This was far from easy. As long as the giant had his feet on the ground he could draw strength from Earth, his mother. Heracles lifted Antaeus on to his shoulders, breaking his contact with the ground. Then he killed Antaeus by squeezing his throat.

On his voyage Heracles also freed Prometheus. Heracles shot the eagle that had been coming to rip out Prometheus' liver, and released Prometheus from his chains. In gratitude, Prometheus advised Heracles not to pick the apples himself but to ask Atlas to do it for him. The Giant Atlas was responsible for holding up the sky on his shoulders. Heracles offered to hold the sky for him on condition that Atlas picked three golden apples. Atlas fetched the apples but refused to take his burden of the sky back. Once again Heracles had to use all his cunning: he asked Atlas to hold up the sky for a moment while he, unused to such weights, put a cushion on his shoulders. Atlas believed him and shouldered the burden while Heracles snatched up the apples which Atlas had laid down and took to his heels. That was how Eurystheus got his apples.

What you have read is only a skeleton story. Tell it in a proper way adding some colourful details. Use the following words and word combinations:

gloomy enchanted garden, beautiful apples that looked crisp and juicy, gossip had it that they were magic, like a huge rattlesnake, a vague idea of the route, the journey proved to be a real ordeal, Antaeus turned out to be far from amiable, the body flopped on to the ground, lingered at the place where Prometheus was chained, spared the hero his sufferings, pretended to be sympathetic, believed the nonsense Heracles told him.

Ответ:

When Hera married Zeus, she was given some golden apples. She had them planted in her gloomy enchanted garden near the Atlas mountains. These were beautiful apples that looked crisp and juicy, and gossip had it that they were magic. The apples were guarded by an immortal dragon with a hundred heads, which was coiled like a huge rattlesnake, and by the three Nymphs called the Hesperides.

One of Heracles' labours was to find the country of the Hesperides and to get some apples from Hera's garden. Heracles had only a vague idea of the route, and the journey proved to be a real ordeal. One of his adventures was wrestling with Antaeus. Antaeus turned out to be far from amiable. As long as the giant had his feet on the ground he could draw strength from his mother, Earth. Heracles lifted Antaeus on to his shoulders, breaking his contact with the ground. Then he killed Antaeus by squeezing his throat, and the body flopped on to the ground.

On his voyage, Heracles lingered at the place where Prometheus was chained and freed him. In gratitude, Prometheus spared the hero his sufferings by advising him not to pick the apples himself but to ask Atlas to do it for him.

The Giant Atlas was responsible for holding up the sky on his shoulders. Heracles offered to hold the sky for him while Atlas picked three golden apples.

Перевод:

Когда Гера вышла замуж за Зевса, ей подарили золотые яблоки. Она посадила их в своем мрачном заколдованном саду у Атласских гор. Это были прекрасные яблоки, которые выглядели хрустящими и сочными, и ходили слухи, что они были волшебными. Яблоки охранялись бессмертным стоглавым драконом, свернувшимся в клубок, словно огромная гремучая змея, и тремя нимфами, которых звали Гесперидами.

Один из подвигов Геракла заключался в том, чтобы найти страну Гесперид и достать несколько яблок из сада Геры. У Геракла было лишь смутное представление о маршруте, и путешествие оказалось настоящим испытанием. Одним из его приключений была борьба с Антеем. Антей оказался далеко не дружелюбным. Пока великан стоял на земле, он мог черпать силы у своей матери-Земли. Геракл поднял Антея на плечи, оторвав его от земли. Затем он убил Антея, сдавив ему горло, и тело рухнуло на землю.

Во время своего путешествия Геракл задержался у места, где был прикован Прометей, и освободил его. В благодарность Прометей избавил героя от страданий, посоветовав ему не срывать яблоки самому, а попросить об этом Атланта.

Гигант Атлант держал на своих плечах небесный свод. Геракл предложил подержать небо, пока Атлант сорвет три золотых яблока. Атлант принес яблоки, но отказался забрать свою ношу обратно. Гераклу пришлось применить всю свою хитрость: он притворился сочувствующим и попросил Атланта подержать небо на мгновение, пока он подложит себе под плечи подушку. Атлант поверил в ту чепуху, что сказал ему Геракл, и взвалил на себя ношу, а Геракл схватил яблоки и пустился наутек. Так Эврисфей получил свои яблоки.
