TWO SONS

Once there lived two men. Each of them had a son. One of them — we shall call him Mr. White — was very strict with his son, and his friend — Mr. Brown — always asked, "Why are you so strict? I am not so strict, but my son is no worse than your son."

One day both men went to see some friends. Their sons were there too.

Soon the two men began again to talk about their sons, and again Mr. Brown said he did not understand why Mr. White was so strict.

Then his friend looked out of the window and called his son. He wrote a note and gave it to him. Then he said: "Take this note home, and bring me an answer from Mother." "Very well, Papa," said his son, and went out.

When he left his father began to speak: "Tom is going downstairs. He is downstairs at the door. He is giving the note to Mother. He is getting the answer. He is on his way here. He is passing in front of the cinema. He is crossing the street. He is at the door of the house. He is knocking at the door. He is going upstairs. He is here now," and then, he looked at the door and called, "Tom!"

"Here I am, Papa," answered Tom.

"Did you go home and get what I wanted?"

"I did. Here is Mother's answer."

"Good, my boy. Thank you. Go to your friends now."

Mr. Brown said then: "My son will do all

this no worse than your son." He wrote a note, called his son in, and told him to take the note to his mother and bring an answer to him.

"Hurry up! 1 need Mother's answer."

"Yes," said the boy. "I understand." And he went out.

His father began to speak as Mr. White did: "Bill is going downstairs. He is at the door. He is going out. He is walking down the street. He is crossing the street. He is turning to the right. He is at the gates of the park now. He is near our house. He is at the door. He is ringing the door-bell. He is going in. He is giving the note to his Mother. He is getting her answer. He is hurrying downstairs. He is in the street. He is turning to the left. He is at the gates of the park. He is walking up the street. He is walking up to the house. He is at the door. He is coming upstairs," and then he looked at the door and called: "Bill!"

"Yes, Papa," answered Bill.

"Give me the answer from Mother."

"I... I... I am here yet, Papa, I am looking for my cap..."
