Текст:
“Once upon a time,” said a

Linnet1

, “there was an honest

fellow named Hans.”

“Was he famous?” asked a

Water-Rat.

“No,” answered the

Linnet, “I don’t think he was

famous at all, but he had a

kind heart and a funny, round,

good-humoured face. He

lived in a small cottage all by

himself2

, and every day he

worked in his garden. In all the country-side there was no

garden so lovely as his. Different fl owers grew there, and they

bloomed or blossomed, so that there were always beautiful

things to look at.”

Hans had many friends, but the most devoted friend of all

was big Hugh [hju:], the Miller3

. Indeed, so devoted was the

rich Miller to Hans, that he would never go by his garden

without fi lling his pockets with plums and apples if it was the

fruit season.

“Real friends should have everything in common”, the

Miller used to say, and little Hans nodded and smiled, and felt

very proud of having a friend with such noble4

ideas.

Sometimes, indeed, the neighbours thought it was strange

that the rich Miller never gave little Hans anything in return5

,though he had a hundred sacks of fl our

in his mill, and six cows, and many sheep; but Hans never

troubled his head about these things, and nothing gave him a

greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things the

Miller said about the unselfi shness of true friendship.

So little Hans worked away in his garden. During the

spring, the summer, and the autumn he was very happy, but

when the winter came, and he had neither fruit nor fl owers to

bring to the market, he suffered1

a lot from cold and hunger,

and often had to go to bed without any supper. In winter, he

was very lonely, as the Miller never came to see him.

“There is no good in my visits to Hans while there is

snow,” the Miller said to his Wife, “because when people are

in trouble, no visitor should bother them. This is my idea

about friendship, and I am sure I am right. So I shall wait till

the spring comes, and then I shall visit him, and he will be

able to give me a large basket of roses, and that will make him

so happy.”

“You are certainly very thoughtful about others,” answered

the Wife, as she sat in her comfortable arm-chair by the fi re,

“very thoughtful indeed. It is quite a pleasure to hear you talk

about friendship!”
