Оригинал: At the end of the summer Hobbit Bill stopped his work on the farm to call his friends round to celebrate the Last Hot Day. Usually his friends came to Bill’s place in the country to fly kites, swim, play football and tennis, and even play hide-and-seek. But this year was special. Master Goodman had come back to the country. Gnomes Mosly and Bosly arrived first. “Always be healthy!” they said. And they presented a big apple cake to Hobbit Bill. A group of elfs arrived then. Their names were Pammy, Patty and Philly. “We wish you a happy Last Hot Day!” they said. And they sang their favourite “Garden Game” song. They brought Hobbit Bill a new football. “What a nice ball! Thank you, my dear friends.” Hobbit Bill was very happy. All of his friends drank tea and ate the big apple cake. Suddenly the door opened and Master Goodman came in. All of the friends were very glad to see him. He gave Hobbit Bill a magic screen. He said, “You can tell us stories about your holidays. And then we can see them on this Magic Screen ” Mosly and Bosly told stories about the sea. All of the guests watched the blue sea and dolphins in the sea on the Magic Screen. The sea was blue and wide. It was sunny and hot. Mosly and Bosly swam and played a lot. The sun was bright and high in the sky. It was great! Then Pammy and Patty told a very interesting story about their summer holidays. In June they went to London to visit their grandpa. London is a very big city. There were a lot of people, cars and tall houses. One day they couldn’t find their way home. They were very much afraid. But a strong and brave policeman saved them. All of the guests watched their story closely on the Magic Screen. It was so interesting! Then it was Philly’s turn. Philly visited Africa in July. He was in a Safari Park and saw a lot of different animals there: camels, monkeys, elephants, tigers, giraffes and snakes. All of the guests saw the largest Safari Park on the Magic Screen. It was amazing! Finally it was Hobbit Bill’s turn to tell his story. Unlike his friends, he was in the country in June, July and August. He was just living on his farm. In the morning he fed his chickens and ducks, his dog Jack and his frog Harry. There were green fields and a long river next to his farm. There was a green garden with apple trees behind his house. He rode his horse through the fields. He saw a lot of cows and sheep there. He talked and talked about his farm while all of his guests looked at him and listened. But suddenly they noticed that the Magic Screen wasn’t working. But why? What was wrong? They were confused. Master Goodman smiled. “Look around, everyone. We are here. We are on Bill’s farm. We can fly kites, swim, play football and tennis, and even play hide-and-seek. Today is the Last Hot Day. We will celebrate this Day! We don’t need the Magic Screen!"
