Я их давно уже не видел и думал, что они уже улетели куда-нибудь вниз поворовать винограду. Видно, сами Сороки прекрасно понимали, каким нехорошим делом занимаются, потому что, всегда обычно говорливые, они действовали теперь в полнейшем безмолвии и (по свидетельству Ларри) несли по очереди караул у окна. Поднявшись на холм, Ларри, к своем ужасу, увидел на подоконнике одну из Сорок и громко закричал на нее. Она подала сигнал тревоги, вторая птица сразу вылетела из комнаты, и они обе перепорхнули на магнолию, громко хихикая, словно мальчишки, которых спугнули во время набега на фруктовый сад. Ларри вломился в дом и стрелой полетел в свою комнату, схватив меня по пути за шиворот. Когда дверь распахнулась, из груди Ларри вырвался стон неизъяснимой муки. Ex. V.

Сороки знали множество всевозможных трюков, которыми они несказанно наслаждались. Один из друзей семьи не знал, как пристроить всех отпрысков шотландского терьера. Семья не понимала желания Додо быть одновременно со своим щенком, с одной стороны, а с другой стороны, не расставаться с главой семьи. Ларри смог растянуться во всю длину, наслаждаясь живописной природой. Ex. VI. Answer the following questions.
