Перевод текста: once a saw an advertisement in a magazine which said: "thin? weak? it`s not too late-yet! i can make you into a real man.just a few minutes every day with my wonder programme will give you a new body.write me,and you will receive details of my wonder programme immediately.act now-before it is too late.my address is: samuel strongfort,199,54 th street,new york,n.y." i was twelve then,and i decided to become the strongest man in my neighbourhood.i cut out an advertisement from the magazine,i wrote to mr.strongfort,put the letter in an envelope and sent it to him.he wrote back quickly.he said i was certainly intelligent-quite differentfrom the ordinary person,and that i would some day become somebody.his opinion about me was very much like my own.but it was nice to hear it from a man in new york-a man with the finest body in the world.in the letter there were several photos of mr.strongfort with his big muscles and powerful chest.he was a huge man,though he said he had once been small and weak.it was an honour to have him as a friend.
