диета

My friend Jane has always had low self-esteem.
Sometimes she was unhappy with her eyes; other days she didn't like her nose. Once she told me that she hated herself, but I just laughed.

Last year things started to get worse because Jane had gained a bit of weight. It wasn't a lot but she got upset because she thought that everybody was looking at her. She thought that she was fat. I told her that she was perfectly normal, but she didn't listen. She said that she would only be happy if she was as thin as a supermodel.

Then she started to lose weight. Every week she was getting thinner and thinner. I noticed that she didn't eat her school lunch and she didn't go out with our gang when we went to our local pizzeria. When we asked her to come, she always said that she had just eaten and wasn't hungry. When I asked her if she was on a diet, she always said that she wasn't. When I left for England, Jane was a size 6. We kept in touch by e-mail and she wrote to me that she was all right. From her letters I also knew that she had joined our local drama club and was going to be an actress after school. I was happy for her and thought that she had forgotten all that nonsense about dieting.
We met again three weeks ago when I came back from England. I didn't recognise her. She was pale, thin and a size 2! At first, I thought that she was ill, but then I noticed something: we had spent the whole day together and she hadn't eaten anything. It was then I realized what had happened to my friend. I was going to phone her parents but then I thought that it wouldn't be right.

Misha: I understand. You felt that you'd let your friend down if you told on her.
Emily: Yes, that's what I thought.
Mark: How could you be so stupid, Emily? Do you remember the girl from our school, who was expelled last year?
Emily: Yes, I remember. It was Kate Ferguson. But why was she expelled?
Mark: She had the same problem as your friend Jane. She thought that she was fat and started dieting. In the end she got very thin but she still thought that she was fat and couldn't eat at all. It's a disease called anorexia. It's very dangerous and a lot of young people die from it.

Emily: But why was she expelled?
Mark: The teacher found out that she had been setting a bad example. Other girls also decided to start dieting and stopped eating. Fortunately, they hadn't become ill by the time it all came out.
Emily: That's awful. What should I do now?
Misha: I think we should phone her parents and tell them the truth if it's not too late.

A father and his baby

One Sunday some visitors to Hyde Park, who were sitting on benches quietly enjoying their sandwiches, were suddenly surprised by a strange young man.

The young man was pushing a pram. The baby in the pram was crying loudly. The young man stopped and said softly, "You should take it easy, Tom. You should control yourself, Tom."

The baby calmed down for a minute but then it started to cry again. The young man stopped, took out a little toy out of the bag, gave the toy to the child and said, "You should take it easy, Tom. You should control yourself, Tom."

They went on, but soon the child started to cry again. The young man stopped, took some chocolate out of his bag and gave it to the baby. "Don't worry, Tom. It's OK, Tom. You'll be all right, Tom," he said. But the baby didn't calm down. It just cried louder and louder.

An old woman who had been watching the man came up to him and smiled. "You're a great father," she said, "You know how to talk to your baby, in a nice, quiet voice." Then she looked into the pram and asked, "What's wrong with you, Tom? Why are you crying?"

The father looked at the woman strangely and said, "The baby is a girl. Her name's Sabrina. Tom is my name."

Aesop and the traveller

Aesop, a Greek philosopher, was famous for his jokes. One day Aesop was out for a walk when he saw a man. The man was lost. The man greeted Aesop and asked him, "How long will it take me to get to the town?" "Go," said Aesop. The traveler didn't understand the reply. "I know that I have to go," he said and repeated his question, but Aesop's reply was the same. "Go," he said again very politely.

The traveller went away. "The man is mad," he decided. After the traveller had gone some distance, Aesop shouted after him, "You'll get to the town in two hours."

The traveller came back to Aesop and asked: "Why didn't you tell me that before?" "I didn't tell you because I didn't know how fast you could walk," Aesop replied.
