Текст: lisa: i was woken up by our counsellor, who asked me to go with her quickly. i got out of the tent and realized it was still night. my counsellor led me straight to the hospital tent. all of the counsellors and the camp ranger had been waiting for us there. i panicked. who was hurt? was it dima? i walked into the tent and saw my brother on a bed. he was very pale, there were bandages on his hand, and his eyes were closed. my heart fell as i rushed to the bed, but dima had already opened his eyes and smiled. "i'm ok," he whispered. and then daniel, david, all of the counsellors and the camp ranger came in. "well, lisa," the ranger said. "let's talk all of us together. we must find out what had happened." we sat down next to dima's bed and listened. this is what he told us. *** "we had all been asleep when daniel came back. but david must have been awake. he must have waited for daniel, because the moment he turned up, david asked him something in an angry voice. his voice woke me up and i started to listen. they were talking very quietly, so i wasn't able to hear them very well, but it was obvious that they were arguing. then i saw the two of them leave the tent and head for the forest. i got up and followed them. but they ran really quickly and i lost them for a minute or two. when i finally caught up with them, they had stopped and were talking in angry voices again. i was lying in the bushes and watching them when i felt something touch my hand. i thought it was a tree branch and tried to move it away. suddenly i felt a terrible pain in that hand and saw before my own eyes a huge bear. it must have scratched me. i cried out and after what seemed like a lifetime, i saw daniel. i was paralyzed with horror and must have lost consciousness, because i don't remember anything else. when i opened my eyes, daniel was still next to me and the bear was gone." when dima finished his story, i turned to daniel and hugged him. "thank you, thank you," was all i could say. daniel looked totally embarrassed. he was so modest. when the ranger asked him about what had happened, he said that he couldn't really remember any detail and blushed. then it was david's turn. i noticed a strange expression come over his face. david looked as if he was about to make some important decision. then he started to talk: "daniel and i had had a small disagreement and went to the forest to discuss it. then suddenly we heard someone ^ cry out. we rushed to the bushes and saw that dima was ч lying on the ground and a bear cub was standing over him. there was blood all over dima and he wasn't moving. this must have saved him because the bear didn't move either. then daniel took a big stick and threw it at the bear and i left to check on something important." "you can't have gone away! " i interrupted him. "but i had to! i told you — i had to check on something important." david answered and suddenly his face relaxed as if he finally made up his mind. "i can't believe you left them. please tell me you didn't," i whispered. "there may have been the cub's mother nearby," said david quietly. and then i started to shout: "of course you left, david! daniel made the choice for you as usual. he stayed with my brother and fought. why is it that the more dangerous task is always taken by someone else? " "i'm sorry that you are upset, lisa. but believe me, i did what i thought was right," said david firmly. he didn't look me in the eyes. what a coward he was! and i went on, "i don't believe you! just admit that you got scared and ran away! won't it be so much more honest? just say that you were a coward! " david's face blushed with anger, but when he spoke his tone was calm but firm. "i didn't run away lisa, but you can think whatever you v/ant. i don't really care." : analyze the behaviour of the people in the story. say what they should/ could/ shouldn't have done. model: dima shouldn't have followed david and daniel
