جنگل شادی های ساده



صبح بخیر

« ما گرایش داریم که جنگل شادی های ساده را با درختان مشکلات، تیره و تار کنیم.
                         
                                                      کریستین کولانگ»
_______________________________________

But look at it just a second from my point of view. I shall owe my education to you just as much as though I let you pay for the whole of it, but I won't be quite so much indebted. I know that you don't want me to return the money, but nevertheless, I am going to want to do it, if I possibly can; and winning this scholarship makes it so much easier. I was expecting to spend the rest of my life in paying my debts, but now I shall only have to spend one-half of the rest of it.
I hope you understand my position and won't be cross. The allowance I shall still most gratefully accept. It requires an allowance to live up to Julia and her furniture! I wish that she had been reared to simpler tastes, or else that she were not my roommate.

This isn't much of a letter; I meant to have written a lot--but I've been hemming four window curtains and three portieres (I'm glad you can't see the length of the stitches), and polishing a brass desk set with tooth powder (very uphill work) , and sawing off picture wire with manicure scissors, and unpacking four boxes of books, and putting away two trunks full of clothes (it doesn't seem believable that Jerusha Abbott owns two trunks full of clothes, but she does!) and welcoming back fifty dear friends in between.

Opening day is a joyous occasion!
Good night, Daddy dear, and don't be annoyed because your chick is wanting to scratch for herself. She's growing up into an awfully energetic little hen--with a very determined cluck and lots of beautiful feathers (all due to you).

Affectionately, Judy

اما برای یک لحظه هم که شده از چشم من به این موضوع نگاه کنید
به هر حال من این آموزش و پرورش را مدیون شما هستم ، درست مثل این است که شما تعهد خودتان را به خوبی انجام داده اید ،  اما اگر من این کمک هزینه را قبول کنم مثل این است که مقداری از قرض و بدهی خودم را پرداخته ام

می دانم که شما دوست ندارید من بدهی خودم را به شما بپردازم اما من تا آنجا که بتوانم سعی می کنم این کار را بکنم. قبول این کمک هزینه از بار من می کاهد فکر می کنم تمام عمر بدهکارم . اما اگر این کمک هزینه را بپذیرم مثل این است که نصف آن را پرداخته ام

امیدوارم شما وضع مرا تشخیص بدهید. ترا به خدا ناراحت نشوید . من پول توجیبی را با یک دنیا تشکر از شما قبول می کنم. چون دوست دارم مثل جولیا زندگی کنم و از او کم نداشته باشم. من این پول را هم لازم دارم، کاش جولیا را با سلیقه و توقعات ساده تری تربیت کرده بودند یا دست کم بامن در یک اتاق نبود

این نامه آن طور ها هم یک نامه درست و حسابی نیست می خواستم آن را مفصل تر بنویسم. اما من چهارده پرده و سه پشت دری دوخته ام. ( خوشحالم که بخیه های درشت مرا شما نمی بینید) من یک سری لوازم التحریر را با خمیر دندان شفاف کردم، فلز قاب عکس را با قیچی ( مانیکور) ساییدم

چهار بسته کتاب و دو چمدان لباس را بسته بندی کردم و لباس ها در جای خودش آویزان کردم. ( نمی شود باور کرد که جروشا دو چمدان لباس داشته باشد ، اما باید باور کرد) همراه با این کارها از 50 نفر از دوستان عزیزم هم پذیرایی کردم

روزهای افتتاح دانشکده از روزهای خیلی خوش ما به حساب می آید

شب بخیر باباجان

از اینکه جوجه ی شما دوست دارد روی پای خودش بایستد شما هیچ ناراحت نشوید. برحسب تصادف این جوجه کوچولو دارد پر درمی آورد و درشت و گنده می شود و خیلی سرو صدا به راه خواهد انداخت. حالا با اتکای به نفس دارد قدقد می کند. پرهایش حالا خیلی قشنگ شده است. ( همه را از شما دارد
 
با احترام جودی

The Shockproof Dog




Sergey, " Okay, you can get back and bury Fido. It's easy, Quick,Jump!"
Rocky's eyes grew large, and looked at Gloria, " Oh, I see, then I have to jump from the plane, shouldn't I?"

Gloria was completely confused, she stared at Sergey, he grinned, " Don't worry, darling. I'm certain that he'll enjoy parachuting."

Gloria, " Indeed?"
Sergey responded by smiling.

Rocky shouted at him, " Be a good loser, " then looked into her sister's eyes, and said in a calmer voice, " All right, you can desert me in these deserts, and enjoy your trip. "

A sparkle shone in Sergey's eye, It seemed that they had got rid off that teenager easily, then Sergey grinned at Gloria, " That's right. Going on a journey has many advantages. "

Gloria stared at Rocky, and felt his upset look scratch her heart, So she said softly, " I never have a good time without you, Rocky."
Rocky got excited, weeping , " Oh, Glory, Glory! You are the best sister in the world."
Although Sergey was burning with angry, he asked, frowning, " What should I do?"
Rocky, " nearly nothing, just return to the city before it will be too late."
Glory, " yes, we should replace new Fido before Mr. Stone comes back home."
Sergey, " New Fido?"
Glory,  "Yeah, Rocky has dozens of dogs."
Sergey, " It sounds surprising! why?"
Rocky, " To save Mr. Stone. He likes Fido very much."
Gloria continued, " Rocky has a golden heart, he always replaces dead Fido with the new one by himself, Mr. Stone knows nothing about this matter. "
Sergey smirked, " This means kindness, it means silliness. Mr. Stone is a big man, he can bear death, can't he?"
Rocky shook his head, " No, he will dive into his house pool."
Sergey, " So What?"
Rocky cried, " The pool is too deep and dry."
Sergey, " What a surprise!"
Rocky, " It's not surprising, he doesn't know how to swim."
Gloria, " Anyway, a life is in danger, we have to help him."
Sergey, " All right, Glory."
 Rocky, " In my view, the pool is the best place to land, it's enough big."
Sergey, " Gee, Pool?"

The Shockproof Dog

Sergey was nervous, but he tried to endure all just for Gloria; replacing a dog mustn't last over half an hour, it isn't difficult.

Now the aircraft was over Mr. Stone's house, Rocky was right, the swimming pool was enough large to touch down.

Rocky jumped off the plane, ran into the gate, glanced around to find Fido, Mr. Messy was standing in front of his Porsche, and looked down at Fido. As soon as he saw Rocky, he laughed, and bent down to hold the dog, Rocky said, "Don't touch him !"

Mr. Messy raised his hands, and looked at Rocky in surprise, " Okay, why are you so angry? he's just slept."

Rocky yelled in a violent way, " Where do you think you are? on a race track? I've told you before Drive slowly."

Mr. Messy laughed, "Calm down, Rocky! Fido is well. For Several times I've ran over him, and I though he's died, but by next day I saw him walk around."

Rocky pressed his lips together to force himself to say nothing, he'd rather the crazy driver think Fido was shockproof.

Mr. Messy grinned, " Yes,Fido is wonderful! and you are so furious, you always tell me to drive slowly."

While Rocky was picking up Fido, answered, " Well, next time you'd better take my advice, Mr. Messy!"

Gloria stroked the pet, " Poor, Fido."
Sergey raised one eyebrow , and looked at Rocky in surprise, " Then why hadn't you buried him? "

Rocky, " At Mr. Stone's home? You must be kidding!"
Gloria, " We must bury him in Fido Cemetery."
Sergey, " Where is it?"
Rocky, " In Uncle Ernest's field, he lives in a village out of the city. "
Sergey, " And what about new Fido?"
Rocky,  " Uncle Ernest keeps my puppies, I have dozens of Fido."

The Potato Field

Uncle Ernest was sitting in front of his cottage, and shaking in that cold weather , his setter walked around, he looked tired. Gloria and Sergey didn't get off, only waved Uncle Ernest, the land was all white after last night's snowfall.

Rocky said hello to the Uncle, and showed his dog. Uncle nodded his head with sadness, "If I were you ,I changed my home. "

Rocky laughed, " that's great idea, Uncle. I'll talk about with my trainer, but I know he likes his house very much."

The Uncle pointed to the spade, Rocky buried dead Fido, and the Uncle brought him a new Fido , just like that one. Rocky held the dog in his arms, and walked towards the aircraft.

Gloria and Sergey were watching him from plane, suddenly Uncle Ernest signaled to his setter, " Snap it!"

Gloria yelled, " Be ware the dog, Rocky!"

Rocky was running, and the sitter after him, the path was snowy and slippery, all at once his foot slipped, Gloria and Sergey couldn't help laughing, Rocky fell on the snow, and let out such terrible shriek that the setter stopped dead in his tracks, Uncle Ernest approached Rocky, and asked, " What's matter?"

Rocky, " I guess my ankle is broken, it's painful."

The Uncle intended to call a doctor, but Rocky said he had to bring Fido to his house.

Rocky got onto the plane with Uncle Ernest's aid, Gloria looked worried, " Dear little brother, are you OK?"

Rocky nodded his head , but it was quite obvious his terrible pain from his expression.
Therefore Gloria turned to Sergey, "Please, go to the hospital."
Sergey, " In my opinion, he looks fine."
Gloria bit her lip, " he got pale, and you said that he looked fine!"

Rocky smiled bitterly, "Sergey is in right, I'm OK-- we should take Fido to his house soon."
Sergey, " Where to?"
Gloria, "Oh, to Mr. Stone's home."

The plane was flying over the pool ; Rocky was praying; Gloria stroked Fido VII for the last time, and released him into air.

It looked Fido liked parachuting a lot, he landed slowly on the pool, and barked at the plane, the travelers had a good laugh.

Gloria said, " Now, we  go to the hospital. "
Sergey accepted reluctantly, while the airplane was flying to the hospital, he wondered , " Bad luck!"

Rocky's ankle was twisted, he cried, "Then Bye, I remain here, and look after Fido -- I wish a safe journey for you."

Gloria's tears gathered into her eyes, " We never travel without you" then she turned around, and looked at Sergey, he let out a bitter sight, " Sure."

Gloria smiled, " Thanks, Sergey. "
Sergey grinned, " Then you're going to stay at home, and take care of your brother, aren't you?"

Gloria nodded, "Sure."
Sergey took a deep breath.

Best Wishes

What Your Website Absolutely Needs? ( Free eBook)


Step By Step Page Optimization

  1. A heading tag that includes a keyword(s) or keyword phrases. A heading tag is bigger and bolder text than normal body text, so a search engine places more importance on it because you emphasize it.
  2. Heading sizes range from h1- h6 with h1 being the largest text. If you learn to use just a little Cascading Style Sheet code you can control the size of your headings. You could set an h1 sized heading to be only slightly larger than your normal text if you choose, and the search engine will still see it as an important heading.
  3. Next would be an introduction that describes your main theme. This would include several of your top keywords and keyword phrases. Repeat your top 1 or 2 keywords several times, include other keyword search terms too, but make it read in sentences that makes sense to your visitors.
  4. A second paragraph could be added that got more specific using other words related to online education.
  5. Next you could put smaller heading.
  6. Then you'd list the links to your pages, and ideally had a brief decision of each link using keywords and keyword phrases in the text. You also want to have several pages of quality content to link to. Repeat that procedure for all your links that relate to your theme.
  7. Next you might include a closing, keyword laden paragraph. More is not necessarily better when it comes to keywords, at least after a certain point. Writing " online education" fifty times across your page would probably result in your being caught for tying to cheat. Ideally, some there from 3% - 20 % of your page text would be keywords. The percentage changes often and is different at each search engine. The 3-20 rule is a general guideline, and you can go higher if it makes sense and isn't redundant.
  8. Finally, you can list your secondary content of book reviews, humor, and links. Skip the descriptions if they aren't necessary, or they may water done your theme too much. If you must include descriptions for these non-theme too much. If you must include descriptions for these non-theme related links, keep them short and sweet. You also might include all the other site sections as simply a link to another index that lists them all. you could call it Entertainment, Miscellaneous, or whatever. These can be sub-indexes that can be optimized toward their own theme, which is the ideal way to go.

Now you've set the all important top of your page up with a strong theme. So far so good, but this isn't the only way you can create a strong theme so don't be compelled into following this exact formula. This was just an example to show you one way to set up a strong site theme. Use your imagination, you many comp up with an even better way.

مردم را دوست بدارید




 سلام و دُرود بی پایان

26th September Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

Back at college again and an upper classman. Our study is better than ever this year--faces the South with two huge windows and oh! so furnished. Julia, with an unlimited allowance, arrived two days early and was attacked with a fever for settling.

We have new wall paper and oriental rugs and mahogany chairs--not painted mahogany which made us sufficiently happy last year, but real. It's very gorgeous, but I don't feel as though I belonged in it; I'm nervous all the time for fear I'll get an ink spot in the wrong place.

And , Daddy, I found your letter waiting for me--pardon--I mean your secretary's.

Will you kindly convey to me a comprehensible reason why I should not accept that scholarship? I don't understand your objection in the least. But anyway, it won't do the slightest good for you to object, for I've already accepted it and I am not going to change! The sounds a little impertinent, but I don't mean it so.

I suppose you feel that when you set out to educate me, you'd like to finish the work, and put a neat period, in the shape of a diploma, at the end.

اسم
objection اعتراض، مخالفت

صفت

gorgeous مجلل، باجلوه

impertinent گستاخ، بی شرم

بابا لنگ دراز عزیز


من دو مرتبه به دانشکده برگشتم. با این تفاوت که به کلاس بالاتر می روم

امسال اتاق مطالعه ما از سالهای پیش خیلی بهتر است. رو به جنوب است و دو تا پنجره ی بزرگ دارد، با مبل و اثاث و غیره

جولیا با پول تو جیبی بی حسابی که دارد دو روز زودتر آمده و با شور و اشتیاق همه جا را مرتب کرده است

تمام کاغذهای دیواری نو شده اند. قالی ها شرقی و صندلی ها از چوب ماغون است، نه آن چوبهایی که آن را با رنگ و روغن مثل چوب ماغون درست کنند. از چوب ماغون درست و حسابی است. خیلی باشکوه شده. احساس می کنم که با این محیط هماهنگی ندارم ، جای من دیگر اینجا نیست

مدام حالت عصبی دارم ، می ترسم جایی را از جوهر لکه دار کنم. بابا وقتی برگشتم نامه ی شما را ( عذر می خواهم نامه ی منشی شما را) دیدم . ممکن است بفرمایید چرا نباید از کمک هزینه ی تحصیلی استفاده کنم؟

من که دلیل مخالفت شما را نمی دانم. به هر حال مخالفت شما هیچ فایده ای ندارد، چون من آن کمک هزینه تحصیلی را قبول کرده ام. نظر من هم تغییر نخواهد کرد. شاید این طور حرف زدن اهانت تلقی شود، اما من به هیچ عنوان قصد اهانت ندارم


شاید به خاطر این که شما کاری را تعهد کرده اید مایل هستید تا آخر این تعهد را ادامه دهید، اما برای یک لحظه هم که شده از چشم من به این موضوع نگاه کنید

« بالاخره یه روز قشنگ حرف می زنم.»



 قبل از شروع مدرسه هیچ چیز نمی توانست جلوی دهانم را بگیرد، ولی حالا متقاعد شده بودم که هر چیزی که از دهانم بیرون می آید غلط است. وقتی تلفن زنگ می زد، یا کسی سؤالی ازم می پرسید، خودم را می زدم به کَری . وقتی متوجه شدم دارم از خودم می پرسم که چرا توی دستگاهِ سکه ای گوشت نمی فروشند، فهمیدم که ترس مغزم را از کار انداخته.  

چه حس آشنایی! این دقیقاً حس خودمه. دیروز داشتم به لیست بلندبالایی از آدم های موفق فکر می کردم که یاد کتابی که هفته ی قبل خوانده بودم - بالاخره یک روز قشنگ حرف می زنم - افتادم، گفتم چرا از « دیوید سداریس» ننویسم؟! حداقل در زمینه ی یادگیری زبان حس مشترکی داریم، تنها دل خوشی ام این است که تنها نیستم.

 
تنها دل خوشی ام این بود که تنها نیستم. با همکلاسی هایم در راهروِ مدرسه جمع می شدیم و با فرانسوی افتضاح مان جملاتی را برای هم بلغور می کردیم، که اگر کسی گوش می ایستاد، فکر می کرد گذارش به اردوگاهِ پناهندگان افتاده. 
 
دیوید ریموند سداریس، در26 دسامبر 1956 در جانسون سیتیِ نیویورک متولد شد. مادرش شارون الیزابت آمریکایی انگلیسی تبار و پدرش لویس هری (= لو) سداریس اصالتاً یونانی است، خانواده ی سداریس در کل، صاحب 6 فرزند شدند؛ چهار دختر و دو پسر؛ دیوید پس از «لیسا» ، خواهر بزرگترش ، دومین فرزند خانواده محسوب می شود، سایر فرزندان عبارتند از « گرچن»، « ایمی»، « تیفانی» - که در سال 2013 درگذشت- و « پل»

آی بی ام از انتقال کارکنان شمالیش به کارولینا لذت می برد و چون « لو » مهندسِ آی بی ام بود از این توفیق اجباری بی بهره نماند؛ دیوید بچه بود که با خانواده اش به حومه ی شهر رالی در کارولینای شمالی نقل مکان کرد ، همان جا به مدرسه رفت و بزرگ شد.

در نوجوانی گرایشش به هنر اجرا ( = پرفورمنس آرت) بود،مدتی در این زمینه به فعالیت پرداخت، البته خوش ندرخشید، سپس به دانشگاه کارولینای غربی رفت، آن جا هم دلش را زد و ترک تحصیل کرد.


« بعضی وقت ها گریه تنها در شب می کنم.»  
 
سالها با عشق در نیویورک کارهای سطح پایین انجام می داد، تا این که از دور ریختن استعدادش خسته شد، راهی شیکاگو شد تا هنر بخواند.

« برای من همچنین عادی. ولی باش قوی تر تو. کار بیشتر، یک روزی قشنگ حرفی می زنی. مردم شروع می کنند عشق به تو به زودی، شاید فردا، باشه.»
 

چهار سال بعد از دانشگاه هنر شیکاگو فارغ التحصیل شد.


کم کم به همه مان ثابت شد که پیشرفت محال است.
 

استعدادش اتفاقی کشف شد؛تو کلوب شیکاگو دفترچه ی خاطراتش را می خواند، که آیرا گلس، مجری رادیوی شیکاگو ، طنزش را پسندید و از وی خواست تا در برنامه ی هفتگیش « اتاق وحشی» شرکت کند، دیوید از پیشنهاد آیرا استقبال کرد.




من همه چیز رو مدیون آیرا هستم ... زندگیم رو کاملاً عوض کرد، انگار چوب جادوش را تکان داد.

کارش عالی بود؛ برنامه اش گل کرد و به رادیوی ملی دعوت شد و حسابی معروف شد. از دیوید سداریس تاحالا 9 تا کتاب منتشر شده است که عبارتند از :

تب بشکه  ..............................................................    (1994)
برهنه ......................................................................  (1997)
تعطیلات با یخ ..........................................................   (1997)
بالاخره یک روز قشنگ حرف می زنم ..........................     (2000)
بر تن خانواده ات مخمل کبریتی و جین بپوشان ..........      (2004)
کودکان در برابر مجسمه ی هرکول بازی می کنند .....        (2005)
آن گاه که شعله ها تو را می بلعند............................     (2008)
سنجاب در جست و جوی موش خرمایی ..................      (2010)
بیا با جغدها مرض قند را دنبال کنیم .........................      (2013)


 جالب ترین نکته درباره ی دیوید سداریس محبوب ترین فکاهی نویس آمریکایی در 15 سال اخیر، این است که داستانهای بامزه اش با الهام از زندگی شخصیش نوشته شده اند.


از آن جایی که در مدرسه تمام معلم ها جاسوس بالقوه بودند، تا جایی که می توانستم از گفتن کلمه های سین دار اجتناب می کردم : « درسته » شد، « آره» یا « بله» مدل نظامی ها. « می شه؟» شد « اجازه می فرمایید؟» بیشتر سؤال هایم خواهش بود تا پرسش.
 
بعد از چند هفته که به قول خانم سامسون « دردسر تمام نشدنی» بودند و به عقیده ی من « عذاب الیم» مادرم برایم یک لغت نامه ی جیبی خرید که می توانستم در آن برای هر کلمه یک معادل پیدا کنم که سین یا شین نداشته باشد.
 
« بتاز کارولینا!» از کتاب « بالاخره یه روز قشنگ حرف می زنم.»
 

نقل قول های قبل از گلس از داستان « بالاخره یه روز قشنگ حرف می زنم » هستند و این دو تای آخری از داستان « بتاز کارولینا!»

Daddy! Daddy! What do you think? The postman has just come with two letters.
1st. My story is accepted.  $50.
ALORS! I'm an AUTHOR.

2nd. A letter from the college secretary. I'm to have a scholarship for two years that will cover board and tuition. It was founded for 'marked proficiency in English with general excellency in other lines.' And I've won it! I applied for it before I left, but I didn't have an idea I'd get it, on account of my Freshman bad work in maths and Latin. But it seems I've made it up. I am awfully glad, Daddy, because now I won't be such a burden to you. The monthly allowance will be all I'll need, and maybe I can earn that with writing or tutoring or something.

I'm LONGING to go back and begin work.
Yours ever,

بابا! بابا! حدس بزنید، پستچی همین حالا دو تا نامه برای من آورد


اول- داستانی را که برای مجله فرستاده بودم قبول شده است و 50 دلار .... بفرمایید، حالا دیگر اینجانب نویسنده شده ام


دوم- نامه ای از دبیرخانه ی دانشگاه دریافت کرده ام که در آن نوشته شده که کمک هزینه ی تحصیلی دو ساله قسمت من شده است. این مبلغ هزینه ی تحصیل و پانسیون را تأمین می کند


قرار بود کمک هزینه ی تحصیلی را به دانشجویی بدهند که در درس زبان انگلیسی بسیار عالی و در سایر درس ها دانشجوی خوبی باشد . حالا من این جایزه را به دست آورده ام

من پیش از اینکه به ییلاق بیایم درخواست را داده بودم، اما با مردودی در درس هندسه و لاتین هیچ انتظار نداشتم که موفق بشوم. سال اول مردود شده بودم. حالا بابا جان از این خبر خیلی خوشحال شدم، چون از این به بعد مزاحم شما نخواهم بود. همان پول تو جیبی برای من کافی است. شاید با درس دادن و داستان نویسی بتوانم آن پول را هم تأمین کنم

Keep out of Glory's way




Sergey called Rocky, and asked, " Have you met flight controller before? "

While Rocky came towards him, responded, " Jack? yes, sometimes I look in on him on my way to the gym. Do not you think I must know your friends as Gloria's brother."

"Spy", Sergey murmured, then he pressed his lips together, and forced himself not to say anything else.

Rocky, " Hi, Jack-- what's up?"
Jack, " Hi, Calm down, Rocky. here is a bad news for you-- Fido is dead-- Mr. Messy called me two minutes ago, and said--."

Rocky was too shocked to listen to Jack; all he could see was blood-red, " Fido VII, Fido VII! Don't Leave me alone,"  Rocky screamed so terribly that the aircraft was shaking, Sergey seemed frightened, Gloria was marching around Rocky nervously, and repeating, " Dear little brother, are you OK? " till Rocky shouted at her, "Get off, Glory! I feel dizzy."

Gloria frowned. Rocky sat down, and put his head in his hands, then he closed his eyes, and cried loudly. For a while Sergey's puzzled look was shifting from the brother to sister, until he got tired, and asked, " Please, tell me what's happened?"

Rocky moaned, " Fido, cute Fido went forever, and Mr. Stone hasn't known about yet ... Gloria, what on earth can I do? "

Gloria let out a bitter sigh, "Oh my heavens! again?"

Rocky nodded his head, sadly, " That's right, Mr. Messy killed Fido again."

Now Sergey's surprise was even more, he waited for Gloria's explications ; she brought a bitter smile on his face, showed a photo to Sergey, and said, " It's Fido, Mr. Stone's dog." she burst into tears, and Sergey was green with envy.

Gloria continued, " Poor, Fido. he was so lovely, Mr. Stone adored him, now he's gone -- he was run over by a car  when he was playing outside his house."

Rocky cried, " It was my fault, I should not leave him there."
Gloria, " No, Dear little brother, it wasn't your fault --- that mad man killed him, " then she turned to Sergey, weeping " Mr. Messy is Mr. Stone's neighbor, he enjoys driving fast ---  he's ran over the seven Fidos till now."

Sergey sighed deeply, " Seven dogs! That's awful!"
 
A twenty-minute silence was held as a mark of respect, then Rocky got up , and while he was wiping his tears, he shouted, " We get back."

" Right away?" asked Sergey, and Rocky admitted it.

 The pilot's face turned red as if he had felt like hitting Rocky. He said, smirking, " You must be kidding?!"  

Rocky shook his head, " No kidding! I must go and bury Fido in the garden."
Sergey, " Don't be silly! We Can't cancel our journey just for your puppy, Mr. Stone will bury him."

Rocky cried, " Mr. Stone? Are you joking? if he knows about Fido's death he'll kill himself , he adores his dog."



Sergey, " Okay, you can get back and bury Fido. It's easy, Only Jump!"
Rocky's eyes grew large, and looked at Gloria, " Oh, I see, then I should jump from the plane, shouldn't I?"

Gloria was completely confused, she stared at Sergey, Sergey grinned, " Don't worry, darling. I'm certain that he'll enjoy parachuting."




All The Best
