Once upon a time, there lived an old man and an old woman. Once the old man said, "Old woman, bake me a bun." "What can I make it from? I have no flour." "Eh, eh, old woman! Scrape the cupboard, sweep the flour bin, and you will find enough flour. "The old woman picked up a duster, scraped the cupboard, swept the flour bin and gathered about two handfuls of flour. She mixed the dough with sour cream, fried it in butter, and put the bun on the windowsill to cool. The bun lay and lay there. Suddenly it rolled off the windowsill to the bench, from the bench to the floor, from the floor to the threshold and to the porch, from the porch to the courtyard, from the courtyard through the gate on and on...
On its way the Bun met a Hare, a Wolf, a Bear and a Fox. He managed to roll away from the Hare, the Wolf, and the Bear but, alas, the sly and quick Foxie managed to eat the Bun in the end of its travel.
1. If the floor is tiled one can easily hear footsteps on it. 2. Other walls were lined with white bookshelves from which books overflow to the floor. 3. The door between the office and a small dark room at the back always stands open. 4. The floors downstairs were covered with Indian carpets. 5. The walls were pasted with pictures of aircrafts. 6. A staircase lead to from the ground floor to the first floor. 7. The notice was pinned up and became the centre of attention. 8. A typewriter, some writing paper, pens and pencils — everything was carefully arranged on top of the bookcase. 9. The walls in the sitting-room were papered but not painted, which made the room look a lot cosier. 10. The room was full of dark expensive furniture. Oriental carpets, smart lamps, everything first-class. 11. The incident was concealed and nobody ever learned anything. 12. A sick child was nearly lost beneath the heap of blankets. 13. Books, papers, manuscripts, stacks of letters were lying in heaps all around the study. 14. The dining room was separated from the rest of the house by a narrow passage. 15. As the tiny house was painted green, it was almost lost on the green background of the garden.
