Каникулы Питера
Мистер и миссис Грей жили в большом городе. Мистер Грей работал в банке и проводил много времени на работе. Миссис Грей увлекалась музыкой и искусством. У Греев был сын по имени Питер. Питер хорошо успевал по всем предметам в школе, но он не любил мыться. Он ненавидел воду.
Мистер и Миссис Грей захотели провести каникулы в деревне. Они нашли небольшой милый домик недалеко от офиса Мистера Грея. Миссис и Питер поехали туда на выходные в начале июня. Позже Мистер Грей захотел присоединиться к ним. Питер с мамой уехали туда на две недели. Было уже поздно, когда они приехали в домик. Миссис Грей сказала Питеру:
— Мы пробудем здесь четырнадцать дней.
Мальчик вбежал в дом, зажёг свет и заглянул во все комнаты. Он увидел кухню с белым холодильником, двумя сервантами, плитой и раковиной. В доме было электричество и газ. Ещё он увидел пылесос в углу. Гостиная с длинным зеркалом и красивым камином была великолепна. В ней можно было играть в футбол.
Питер побежал назад к маме и закричал:
— Мама! Это здорово! Но я не видел ванную. Где она?
— Здесь тяжело достать воду, — сказала мама, — и здесь нет горячей и холодной воды.
— Это очень хорошо, мама, — сказал Питер. — Каникулы действительно будут замечательные!
