Sunday is a very quiet day in London. All the shops are closed, and so are the theatres and most of the cinemas.
Londoners like to get out of town on Sundays. The sea is not far - only fifty or sixty miles away and people like to go down to the sea in summer or somewhere to the country for skiing in winter.

It is difficult to live without music. You can hear music everywhere: in the streets, in the marketplaces, in the shops, in the parks and in the concert halls. You can even hear it at the seaside and in the forest. We can’t live without music. Modern researches discovered that a human puts music in the third place after the family relations stability and comfort and the job satisfaction. Even sexual realization means less to a human. We like to listen to music, we enjoy to dance to music, we play music instruments. For some people music is their hobby.

 One of Mark Twain’s hobbies was fishing. He went fishing even in the closed season, when fishing was not allowed. Like all fishermen, he sometimes invented stories about the number of fish he caught.
One hot day during the closed season, Mark Twain was fishing under a low bridge. A man who was walking across the bridge noticed Mark Twain and began to watch him. At last he asked, “Have you caught many fish?”
“Not yet,” Mark Twain answered. “I have only just begun. But yesterday I caught thirty great big fish here.”
“You were very lucky,” the man said. “Do you know who I am?”
“No,” Mark Twain said. “I don’t think I ever met you before.”
“I’m the fishing inspector in this place. Do you know that this is the closed season?”
Mark Twain understood how foolish he had been. “Do you know who I am?” he asked.
“No, of course not,” answered the inspector.
“I am the biggest liar on the Mississippi,” Mark Twain told him.

There was a time when many people in Europe had never even heard of tea. This anecdote is about an old woman and her son, who lived before tea-drinking became popular in England.
He was a sea captain, and every time he returned from a far-away country, he brought his mother a gift. Once the young man came back from India with a box of tea for his mother. She didn’t know, anything about tea, but she was proud of her son, and she invited all her friends to come and try the tea. When her son came into the room, he saw cakes and fruit and jam on the table, and a big plate full of brown tea-leaves. His mother and her friends were sitting round the table, eating the leaves with butter and salt. Though they all smiled, it was clear that they didn’t enjoy eating the leaves.
“Where is the tea, Mother?” the captain asked. “Where is the water?”
“The water!” his mother said. “I threw the water away, of course!”

 Tom Robinson’s parents were poor, so Tom had to go to work when he was still a boy. It wasn’t easy to find work that he could do: Tom was small and thin. At last he got a place in an office where the work wasn’t too hard, though there was much of it. Tom was paid only six shillings a week for his work. He wasn’t satisfied with the low pay. But for a long time he was afraid to ask for a rise. At last he decided to go to Mr. Marton’s office and ask for a rise. He decided that he would not leave the room until Mr. Marton had promised to give him four shillings more a week.
He slowly opened the door and asked: “May I speak to you, sir?” Tom’s voice sounded much smaller and thinner, as he told him that he wanted a rise of four shillings.
“You are an honest boy and not afraid of work,” Mr. Marton said. “But don’t you think that ten shillings is too much for such a small boy?”
“No, I don’t,” Tom answered. “I am older than I look. To tell you the truth, since I have worked here, I have been so busy that I haven’t had time to grow.”

 A young man walking in the street saw a girl in front of him who seemed very beautiful to him. He ran forward to look at her face, and it was beautiful too.
“I have fallen in love with you,” the young man cried. “Let me kiss, your hand. I want to marry you.”
“Wait!” the young woman answered. “Go and look at my sister. She is walking there in front of us, and she is more beautiful than I am.”
The young man immediately ran to look at the other woman. But finding her old and not beautiful at all, he ran back to the girl. “You didn’t tell me the truth!” he said. “Aren’t you ashamed to tell lies?”
“And aren’t you ashamed to say the word ‘truth’?” the girl answered. “You said you loved me, but you were ready to run to any woman you thought was more beautiful. You don’t know what love is. I’ll never marry such a man!” And she walked away from him.
