16、ed-up nose, went down the steep bank and sat down on a small bench. The bench stood right by the water among some thick young osier bushes. What a wonderful little place! Once you've sat down, you were hidden from the world—only the fish saw you, and the water-tigers, running like lightning over the

17、 water. The young people were armed with rods, nets, cans of worms, and other fishing equipment. Having sat down, they started fishing right away. "I'm glad we're alone at last," Lapkin began, looking around. "I have to tell you a lot of things, Anna Semionovna... an awful lot... when I saw you the

18、 first time.... You've got a bite.... then I understood what I'm living for, understood where my idol was--to whom I must devote my honest, active life... that must be a big one that's biting.... Seeing you, I feel in love for the first time, feel passionately in love! Wait before you give it a jerk

19、.... let it bite harder.... Tell me, my darling, I adjure you, may I count on--not on reciprocity, no! I'm not worthy of that, I dare not even think of that—may I count on .... Pull!" Anna Semionovna raised her hand with the rod in it, yanked, and cried out. A little silvery-green fish shimmered in

20、 the air. "My Lord, a perch! Ah, ah.... Quickly! It's getting free!" The perch got free of the hook, flopped through the' grass toward its native element.... and plopped into the water! In pursuit of the fish, Lapkin somehow inadvertently grabbed Anna Semionovna's hand instead of the fish, inadve

21、rtently pressed it to his lips.... She quickly drew it back, but it was already too late; their mouths inadvertently merged in a kiss. It happened somehow inadvertently. Another kiss followed the first, then vows and protestations.... What happy minutes! However, in this earthly life there is no abs

22、olute happiness. Happiness usually carries a poison in itself, or else. is poisoned by something from outside. So this time, too. As the young people were kissing, a laugh suddenly rang out. They glanced at the river and were stupefied: a naked boy was standing in the water up to his waist. This was

23、 Kolia, a schoolboy, Anna Semionovna's brother. He was standing in the water, staring at the young people, and laughing maliciously. "Ah-ah-ah... you're kissing?" he said. "That's great! I'll tell Mama." "I hope that you, as an honest young man..." muttered Lapkin, blushing. "It's low-down to spy,

24、 and to tell tales is foul and detestable... I assume that you, as an honest and noble young man..." "Give me a ruble and then I won't tell!" said the noble young man. "Or else I will." Lapkin pulled a ruble out of his pocket and gave it to Kolia. Kolia squeezed the ruble in his wet fist, whistled

25、, and swam off. And the young people didn't kiss any more that time. The next day Lapkin brought Kolia some paints and a ball from town, and his sister gave him all her empty pill-boxes. After that they had to give him some cuff-links with dogs' heads on them. The wicked boy obviously liked all the

26、se things very much and, in order to get still more, he started keeping his eye on them. Wherever Lapkin and Anna Semionovna went, he went, too. He didn't leave them alone for a minute. "The bastard!" Lapkin gnashed his teeth. "So little, and already such a real bastard! What's he going to be like

27、later?!" All through June, Kolia made life impossible for the poor lovers. He threatened to tell on them, kept his eye on them, and demanded presents; it all wasn't enough for him, and he finally started talking about a pocket watch. And what then? They had to promise the watch. One time at dinner

28、, when the waffle cookies were being passed, he suddenly burst out in a guffaw, winked an eye, and asked Lapkin: "Shall I tell? Huh?" Lapkin blushed terribly and started eating his napkin instead of the cookie. Anna Semionovna jumped up from the table and ran into the other room. And the young

29、people found themselves in this position until the end of August, until the very day when, at last, Lapkin proposed to Anna Semionovna. Oh, what a happy day that was! Having talked to the parents of his bride, and having received their consent, Lapkin first of all ran out into the garden and started

30、 looking for Kolia. Once he had found him, he almost sobbed from delight and seized the wicked boy by the ear. Anna Semionovna, who had also been looking for Kolia, ran up, and seized him by the other ear. And you really ought to have seen what joy was written all over the lovers' faces as Kolia cri

31、ed and begged them: "Dearest, darling, angels, I'll never do it again! Ow, ow! Forgive me!" And afterwards they both admitted that during the whole time they had been in love with each other they had never once felt such happiness, such breath-taking bliss as during those moments when they were p

She looked at me

34、 and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me." The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gall

35、op he went. Then the merchant went down to the market, and he saw Death standing in the crowd and he came to Death and said, “Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning?” “That was not a threatening gesture,” Death said. “It was only a start of surprise. I was

36、 astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.” Section4 Critical Thinking (20-point bonus) You do not have to do the task in this section, but you will get a 20-point bonus if you do it correctly. Identify errors in logic, if any, in the following arg
