Контрольная работа: Family and relatives
Pupil 2: Karlsson! How couldn't you understand such an easy thing? You play with your friend Kid in the morning, afternoon or evening. But then you come back to your house absolutely alone. You have nobody to listen to you or to chat with you. Nobody will make you a cup of tea in the evening or in the morning. Nobody will cover you with a blanket as mothers usually do.
Karlsson: I've never thought about it! But maybe you areright ... Why did you make me upset? I don't want to think or talk about these things now!
Kid: And you shouldn't! Dear Karlsson! Today is your birthday and I have an unexpected present for you. My mum, and dad, and sister and brother have loved you as much as I do.
Kid's Father, Mother, Sister and Brother appear.
Kid's Mother: Dear Karlsson! I would be glad to have one more son who is absolutely like you! We've found out that you are smart, funny, sometimes selfish but always full of life and energy!
Kid's Father: Be with us forever, Karlsson! We really love you! Be a member of our family! Stay with us! Be our son! Our naughty, restless, charming son!
Kid's Brother: Yes, Karlsson! We think so too! You are so cool and talented! Let's live and play together!
Kid's Sister: Stay with us, Karlsson! I'll cook tasty cakes for you, I'll ...
Karlsson: Cakes? Will you cook them every day?
Kid's Sister: Whenever you ask!
Karlsson: It suits me! I'm fond of eating cakes with cream. Will they be with cream?
Kid's Mother (laughing): Certainly!
Karlsson: Great! Then I'll try to be your son and your brother. It will be like a new game. «Karlsson has a family now!» It's funny, pupils, isn't it?
Pupil 3: It will be wonderful, Karlsson! Try to do it!
Kid: I'll be so happy to call you a «brother»! But you once said you had a grandmother, didn't you?
Karlsson: Yes, I did! I visit her every summer! She lives in the country in a lovely house near the river. My granny can cook so tasty rolls and pies! Saying nothing of puddings and biscuits! I love my Granny!
Granny appears.
Karlsson's Grandmother: And I love you too!
Karlsson: Granny!
Karlsson's Grandmother: Karlssonchik! (Hugs, kisses him, cries happily)
Karlsson: I have not expected to see you today!
Karlsson's Grandmother: How could I forget about your birthday?
Pupil 3: How do you do, dear grandmother of Karlsson? All of us are glad to meet you.
Karlsson's Grandmother: So am I! You know, children, Karlsson is not as harmful as it seems to be. He is just too energetic. If we find an interesting hobby for him, Karlsson will be much better. I am sure!
Pupil 4: So am I! Dear grandmother of Karlsson, I was always wondering why he lives alone? Where are his parents?
Karlsson's Grandmother: It's a sad story. His father was my only son. His wife and he were the mountain climbers. They both were fond of high places, that's why they built that strange house on the roof of your one. They were very happy together because they loved each other very much. But one day they fell down from the top of the mountain. We lost them forever. (Crying sadly)
Karlsson: Granny ... Why do you ... Granny! I am with you! I love you! Stop crying, Granny! I can't look at it.
Karlsson's Grandmother: Ok! Ok! He is right. He is with me since the age of five. But I had too much work about the house and had no time to bring you up carefully. That's why, children, he usually does whatever he wants. I shouted at him, punished him, but it didn't work. And one day he said that he wanted to live as a grown-up alone in the city. I had to agree with it or he could just disappear to nowhere. So I send him money, food every week, take him on summer holidays. But my dear Karlsson still lives absolutely alone in his parent's house. I worry about him a lot and the worst thing is that he doesn't like to come to school.
Kid's Mother: That's a pity, Karlsson! All my children go to school. They like it, don't you children?
