Ntene In the Sundarbans region in Bangladesh, thousands of people
go into the forests every day to fish, hunt and look for honey and
firewood. The work is difficult and it can also be very dangerous
because the forests are home to lots of wildlife, including about
400 tigers.
In the last year, tigers have killed about 50 people in the Sundarbans
area. The local people feel scared and they worry that the tigers will
come into their villages and attack them. They sometimes go into
the forests and kill the tigers.
With the help of a tiger charity, local people are learning how to live
and work close to tigers, how to look for tiger marks on the forest
floor and listen for the sounds from other animals when there is
a tiger nearby. Charity workers also tell people where the attacks
have happened. If they see a tiger, they learn not to run away, but to
look at it and make lots of noise.
The tiger is a big part of the culture here. The people sing songs
about tigers and tell stories about tiger gods. The charity hopes that
the people will learn to understand the tigers better, and will be
able to live safely with these beautiful animals.

Однажды мальчик пришел с тяжелой корзиной, наполненной рыбой, фруктами и дичью. Он постучал в дверь, и Свифт случайно открыл, "Вот," сказал мальчик хрипло, "мой мастер прислал вам корзину с вещами".
Свифт, недовольный манерами мальчика, сказал ему: "иди сюда, приятель, и я научу тебя как немножко вежливее доставлять посылки. Подойди, представь себя Свифтом, а я буду мальчиком." Затем он вежливо снимает свою шляпу и обращается к мальчику: "Сэр, мой мастер прислал вам небольшой подарок, и умоляет вас сделать ему честь, приняв его."
"Ах, очень хорошо, мой мальчик" , ответил мальчик, "передай своему мастеру, что я очень обязан ему, и вот полкороны для тебя"
Свифт засмеялся от души и дал мальчику корону за его остроумие.
