THE SAD SONG
Mr. Edwards liked singing very much. He thought that he sang well, but in fact he didn’t.
One evening, he had dinner at a friend’s house. After dinner, one of the guests went up to Mr. Edwards and said, “You can sing, Peter. Please sing us something.”
sad печальный; infact на самом деле; guest гость; goupto подходить, приближаться к
Mr. Edwards went up to the piano and started singing an old song about the mountains of Spain. The guests listened to it for several minutes, and then one of them began to cry. It was a young woman of about 30.
The other guests started comforting her: “There, there. Please don’t cry. Are you Spanish? Are you homesick?”
about 30 около 30; comfort [´kam-] утешать; there, there ну-ну, перестаньте (словаутешения); be homesick тосковать по дому
“No,” she answered, “I’m not Spanish, and I’m not homesick. I am a singer and I like music.”
