1. Read the text and do the tasks that follows. Once upon a time there was an old man who dearly loved his only son. His son enjoyed riding
horses and swimming in the swift waters of mountain rivers, but most of all he liked hunting. The
old man was proud that his son was full of courage but he was afraid of his passion for hunting.
Once in a dream he saw that his son would be killed by a huge lion. The poor father was afraid that
this dream would come true and decided to save his only son. The man built a nice big house for his
son and set in a high place where he could keep his eye on him. The father didn't allow the young
man to leave the house. In order to please and entertain his son, the old man put paintings of every
kind of animal in one of the rooms. There was a buffalo, a wolf, an elephant, a rhino and deer in the
pictures. Among them there was a lion. But looking at all the animals did not distract the young man
from his boredom.
One day, he approached the painting and spoke angrily to the lion in it: "You damned beast, it's
because of you and my father's lying dream that I am kept here in this prison. I can't do what I want.
I can neither climb the mountains nor hunt in the forest. It's your fault. What can I do to you?" And
as he said this, he struck his fist against the wail to blind the lion. But a small sharp piece of wood
got under his fingernail and the young man could not get it out. The old man called for a doctor but
the doctor wasn't able to help his son. The finger became red and hurt unbearably, it increased to an
enormous size. Soon the young man died of the fierce fever.
The lion, even though it was only a painted one, had indeed killed the young man, just as his father
had foreseen.
