Where the Belarusians came from

When the world was just beginning, nothing was anywhere. Everywhere there was dead water, and in the middle of the water there was only a huge boulder.

Once Perun was in a playful mood and he started shooting arrows at this boulder. Three sparks sprang from his arrows: white, yellow and red.

Those sparks fell on the water — all the water boiled, and the world darkened like clouds.

But after a while, when everything cleared up, it became clear where the water was, where the land was.

And after a while, life appeared in the water and on the land. There appeared forests, and grass, and animals, and fish, and after that a man: either he came from somewhere, or grew up there.

After a while the man began to establish his own rules. How long he lived like that, we don't know, but soon he had a home, many wives, and even more children. His name was Bai. And when the time of his death came, he called his sons and divided all his possessions. He only forgot one son, who was out hunting, with two Bai's favorite dogs. His son's name was Belopol.

Soon after his father's death Belopol returned from hunting. And the brothers said to him: "Our father divided all his possessions among us, and he left his dogs to you, he also said that you should let them run wild: one to the right, the other to the left. You will have as much land as the distance they will run in a day ".

Belopol caught two birds, one of them flew from the southern sea, the second was from the western sea. Then he let one bird fly south, and said to one of his dogs: "Take it!"

He let the second bird fly to the west and told his second dog: "Grab it! "

As those birds flew: one to the south, the other to the west... And the dogs rushed after them... The dogs never returned, and in their footsteps there appeared two rivers, the Dvina and the Dnieper.

On this land between the two rivers Belopol settled. He had a few wives and they started tribes called the Belarusians. They still live there, plow the land and sow rye.

Откуда взялись белорусы?

Когда мир только начинался, ничего не было. Везде была мертвая вода, а посреди воды торчал только огромный валун.

Когда Перун разыгрался, он начал стрелять стрелами в этот валун. От его стрел вырвались три искры: белая, желтая и красная.

Эти искры упали на воду, и вся вода вскипела, и мир потемнел, как тучи.

Но через некоторое время, когда все прояснилось, стало видно, где вода, где земля.

И через некоторое время в воде и на земле появилась жизнь. Появились леса, трава, животные и рыбы, а после этого и человек: либо он откуда-то пришел, либо вырос тут.

Через некоторое время человек начал устанавливать свои порядки. Как долго он жил так, мы не знаем, но вскоре у него появился дом, много жен и еще больше детей. Его звали Бай. И когда настало ему время помирать, он позвал своих сыновей и разделил все свое имущество. Только забыл он одного сына, который был на охоте, с двумя любимыми собаками Бая. Того сына звали Белополь.

Вскоре после смерти отца Белополь вернулся с охоты. И братья сказали ему: «Отец разделил все свое имущество между нас, а тебе оставил собак, а еще наказал, чтоб ты пустил на волю: одну направо, другую налево. Сколько земли пробегут они за день, та земля и будет твоей».

Белополь поймал двух птиц, одну прилетевшую с южного моря, вторую - с западного. Затем он выпустил первую птицу на юг и сказал одной из своих собак: «Возьми!»

Вторую птицу выпустил на запад и сказал своей второй собаке: «Хватай!»

И полетели птицы: одна на юг, другая на запад ... И собаки помчались за птицами... Собаки так и не вернулись, а по их следам потекли две реки, Двина и Днепр.

На этой земле между двумя реками и поселился Белополь. От разных жен и пошли племена, называемые белорусами. Они все еще живут там, пашут землю, да сеют рожь.

Education is very important in our life. An educated person is one who knows a lot about many things. He always tries to learn, find out, discover more about the world around him. He get knowledge at school, from books, magazines, from TV educational programs. The pupils can get deeper knowledge in different optional courses in different subjects and school offers these opportunities. They can deepen and improve their knowledge by attending different optional courses in different subjects. The result of the educative process is the capacity for Further education. Nowadays the students of secondary schools have opportunities to continue their education by entering, gymnasiums, lyceums, colleges. But the road to learning is not easy. There is noroyal road to learning. To be successful in studies one must work heard. It's for you to decide to learn and make progress or not to learn lose your time. The role of foreign languages is also increasing today. Thanks to the knowledge of foreign languages one can read books, magazines in the original, talk to foreigners, translate various technical articles. Moreover, joint ventures which have recently appeared in our country need specialists with profound knowledge of foreign languages like English, German or French. To know foreign languages is absolute necessary for every educated person, for good specialists. Our country is transferring to a market economy. Research and innovations should improve living, working conditions of our people. That is why it is so important to be persistent in students. English is a world language. It is the language of progressive science and technology, trade and cultural relations, commerce and business. It's the language of international aviation, shipping and sports. It's also the major language of diplomacy. Geographically it is the most widespread language on earth, second only to Chinese in the number of people who speak it hearing a foreign language is- not an easy thing. It's a long and slow process that takes a lot of time and practice. A foreign language is not just a subject learnt in the classrooms. It's something which is used in real life situations. There are many reasons why we begin to study foreign languages. First of all it's an effective medium of international communication. I'm convinced if we are working in any brunch of science we must read books and magazines in other languages. Learning foreign languages opens up opportunities and careers that didn't even exits some years ago. Knowing foreign languages can help us to find a job in such fields as science and technology, foreign trade and banking, international transportation communication, teaching librarian science and others. A more general aim is to make our intellectual and cultures. Learning a foreign language including learning also culture, traditions and mode of thought of different people. Of course speaking and writing in a foreign language is a difficult art and it has to be learned. Needless to say that English has become very popular today. About 350 million people speak English as its first language. About the same numbers use it as a second language. It's an official language in 44 countries. It's the dominant language of medicine, electronics and space technology, of international business and advertising, of radio. It has replaced French in the world of diplomacy and German in the field of science. As for me, I'm completely convinced that to know a foreign language is absolutely necessary for all educated person and modern specialists. Everything depends on our own efforts.
