Ex. 10. Translate into English:
Одного разу зі мною сталася сумна історія. Тоді я не міг знати, яке історичне місце вона посяде в моїй долі.
Якось літнім ранком, коли годинник на башті пробив сім, я вирішив зробити щось корисне для всього людства – якийсь вчинок, про який говорили б не тільки ті люди, колу яких я належу, але людство в цілому.
Оскільки я любив малювати, я вирішив створити шедевр, гідний пензля великого художника. Через три дні картина була готовою. Я був трохи здивований тим, наскільки просто творити великі справи. «А чи не замало я зробив для людства?», - замислився я. І намалював ще один шедевр, через три дня ще один, потім ще... Через місяць в моїй майстерні не залишилося вільного місця. Я був надзвичайно гордий своїм внеском у світову історію.
Чутки про мої шедеври скоро розійшлися по всьому місту, кожен захотів доторкнутися до високого мистецтва. Коли ж критики побачили мої картини, їх думка була єдиною: мої шедеври не варті навіть холстів, на яких вони зображені.
З тих пір я не беру в руки пензля, але тепер я вирішив вирощувати квіти – адже краса врятує світ!

Сьогодні день народження мого нареченого. З цього приводу я вирішила залишитися вдома і старанно підготуватися. Але все виявилося не так просто. Мені постійно щось заважало, я постійно рухала меблі та перекладала речі. Врешті решт, будинок був у повному безладі. Це дуже нервувало мене, і я вирішила викинути всі ці непотрібні речі. Коли повернувся мій наречений і побачив все це, він дуже розсердився. Виявилося, що я викинула його улюблені речі. Він кричав, що від мене одні проблеми, що йому не потрібна така турбота, що з тим же успіхом можна було підпалити будинок, а не прибирати там. У всьому будинку не залишилося нічого, що нагадувало б йому про його затишний куток. Яка неблагодарність!
