Pierre

By Sara and Stephen Corrin

(A tale in five chapters and a prologue)

Prologue

There once was a boy, named PierreWho only would say, “I don’t care!”Read his story, my friend,For you’ll find that at the end,An important moral lies there.

“Good morning, darling boy,You are my only joy.”Pierre said, “I don’t care!”“What would you like to eat?”“I don’t care!”“Some lovely cream or sweet?”“I don’t care!”“Please, don’t jump on your chair.”“I don’t care!”

Chapter I

One day his mother said,When Pierre got out of bed,“Or pour syrup on your hair.”“I don’t care!”

Pierre said, “I don’t care!”“Your head is where your feet should be.”“I don’t care!”“If you keep standing upside down—”“I don’t care!”“We’ll never ever get to town.”“I don’t care!”So his parents left him there. They didn’t take him anywhere.

I don’t care!

“You are acting like a clown.”“I don’t care!”“And we have to go to town.”“I don’t care!”“Don’t you want to come, my dear?”“I don’t care!”“Would you rather stay right here?”“I don’t care!”So his mother left him there.

Chapter III

Now, as the night began to fall,A hungry lion paid a call. He looked Pierre right in the eyeAnd asked him, “Would you like to die?”Pierre said, “I don’t care!”“I can eat you, don’t you see?”“I don’t care!”“And you will be in me.”“I don’t care!”“Is that all you have to say?”“I don’t care!”

Chapter II

His father said,“Get off your head or I’ll march you up to bed!”

The doctor shook him up and down. And when the lion gave a roar—Pierre fell out upon the floor. He rubbed his eyes And shook his headAnd laughed because he wasn’t dead. His mother cried and held him tight. His father asked, “Are you all right?”Pierre said, “I’m feeling fine, please, take me home,it’s half past nine.”The lion said, “Oh, if you careto get on me, I’ll take you there.”

“Then I’ll eat you, if I may.”“I don’t care!”So the lion ate Pierre.

Chapter IV

Arriving home at six o’clock,His parents had a dreadful shock!They found the lion sick in bedAnd cried, “Pierre is surely dead.”They looked at the lion and asked,“Where is Pierre?”The lion answered, “I don’t care!”His father said, “Pierre is in there.”

I don’t care!

Chapter V

They took the lion into town.

Then everyone looked at Pierrewho said, “Yes, indeed I care!”The lion took them home to restAnd stayed on as a weekend guest. The moral of Pierre is: CARE!

I care!

1. Прочитайте сказку и скажите, нравится ли вам Пьер или нет, и почему.

Ответ:

I didn't like Pierre at the beginning of the story because he was very disobedient and always said "I don't care!" to everything his parents told him. He caused a lot of trouble and ended up being eaten by a lion because of his attitude.

However, I like the new Pierre at the end of the story. After being inside the lion and realizing the consequences of not caring, he learned a valuable lesson. He finally said, "Yes, indeed I care!", which shows he changed for the better, and that's a good thing.

Я не любил Пьера в начале истории, потому что он был очень непослушным и всегда говорил "Мне все равно!" на все, что говорили ему родители. Он доставил много неприятностей и в итоге был съеден львом из-за своего отношения.

Однако мне нравится новый Пьер в конце истории. После того, как он побывал внутри льва и осознал последствия безразличия, он усвоил ценный урок. Он наконец сказал: "Да, мне действительно не все равно!", что показывает, что он изменился к лучшему, и это хорошо.
