SATCHKIN PATCHKIN

After Helen Morgan

Part II

New words:

at once [ət 'wʌns] — сразу же

a drop [drop] — капля

a jug [dʒʌg] — кувшин

The little green magic man turned away from the farmer’s house with its closed doors and windows. “Seventeen cows and no milk for me?” he said.

Slowly he went back.

When he came to Mother Farthing’s small untidy cottage, he stopped.

“I must have some milk,” he said. “I must remember its taste or I won’t sleep all night.” He began to knock at the old woman’s door.

Mother Farthing was not sleeping. She was thinking about her cow. She got up at once and went to the window. “Who’s there?” she cried. “What can I do for you?”

The answer came thin and clear, like the sound of a silver bell:

“Satchkin Patchkin!

Will you lift the latchkin?

Satchkin Patchkin!

Will you lift the latch?”

“Of course I will!” cried the old woman. “I am coming!” She went to the door, lifted the latch and saw a little green man. “Come in!” she said. “What is it you want?”

“Just a little milk, nothing more,” said a clear thin voice behind her.

Poor Mother Farthing sat down and cried, “I have no cow any more. I drank the last of her milk for my supper. There is no milk in the house!”

“No milk? Is it all gone? Every drop of it?” asked the little green magic man.

The old woman stood up and looked into the jug on the table. “Only a drop. One little drop,” she said.

“Oh, it’s enough for me,” said the little man. So, Mother Farthing gave him the drop of milk. He drank it slowly. When he finished, he dropped a small ring into the jug. At once the jug was full of sweet new milk.

“You will always have milk now,” said Satchkin Patchkin. “Put this ring into the jug, open the door and say,

‘Satchkin Patchkin!

Hear me lift the latchkin!

Satchkin Patchkin!

Hear me lift the latch!’

And then there will be a lot of milk in the jug.”

“Thank you,” said Mother Farthing.

The little green magic man looked at Mother Farthing and said, “If you need me, just come and call. My name is Satchkin Patchkin and I live like a leaf in the apple tree.”

1. Прочитайте вторую часть сказки и скажите, какова ее основная идея.

Ответ:

The main idea of the second part of the tale is about the little green magic man, Satchkin Patchkin, helping Mother Farthing when she has no milk. He magically turns a single drop into a jug full of sweet new milk, ensuring she will always have it.

Основная идея второй части сказки заключается в том, что маленький зеленый волшебный человечек, Сачкин Пачкин, помогает Матушке Фартинг, когда у нее нет молока. Он волшебным образом превращает одну-единственную каплю в кувшин, полный сладкого нового молока, гарантируя, что у нее всегда оно будет.
