In the northern part of Austin there once lived an honest family by the name of Smothers. The fami ly consisted of John Smothers, his wife, and their little daughter.
One night after supper the little daughter was seized with a severe colic, and John Smothers hurried downtown to get some medicine. He never came back.
The little girl recovered and in time grew up to womanhood. The mother grieved very much over her husband’s disappearance and it was nearly three months before she married again and moved to San Antonio.
The little girl also married in time, and after a few years she also had a little girl five years of age.
She still lived in the same house where they lived when her father had left home and never returned One night by a remarkable coincidence her little girl was taken with colic on the anniversary of the disappearance of John Smothers, who would now have been her grandfather if he had been alive and had a steady job.
“I will go downtown and get some medicine for her,” said John Smith (for it was none other than he whom she had married).
“No, no dear John,” cried his wife. “You, too, might disappear forever, and then forget to come back.”
So John Smith did not go, and together they sat by the bedside of little Pansy (for that was Pansy’s name).
After a little, Pansy seemed to grow worse, and John Smith again attempted to go for medicine, but his wife would not let him.
Suddenly the door opened, and an old man, stooped and bent, with long white hair, entered the room.
“Hello, here is grandpa,” said Pansy, for she had recognized him before any of the others.
The old man drew a bottle of medicine from his pocket and gave Pansy a spoonful.
She got well immediately. ” I was a little late,” said John Smothers, “as I waited for a street-car.”

Что посмотреть в США каждому приезжающему сюда туристу? Конечно, Статую Свободы и Голливудскую Аллею звезд, ответят бывалые путешественники. Но есть и еще множество интересных мест в Соединенных штатах, которые наверняка надолго останутся в памяти туриста. Мы же сделали краткий обзор, где описали основные достопримечательности США. Американские достопримечательности отличаются не только разнообразием и масштабностью, но и расположением в разных уголках страны. Популярностью пользуются как однодневные экскурсии в США, так и тематические вояжи, например, по местам, известным из вестернов, территориям индейцев или самым большим мегаполисам. Выбирайте и путешествуйте с удовольствием!

Впервые оказавшись в Америке, люди стремятся увидеть все достопримечательности США. Один из самых известных в мире символов страны – Статуя Свободы – расположен на небольшом острове в порту Нью-Йорка.

Величественная скульптура женщины с факелом в руке, протянутым в небеса, стала олицетворением свободы Америки. Корона на ее голове имеет семь лучей, что обозначает семь континентов и семь океанов (по западной географической традиции). В другой руке она держит плиту с выбитой на ней датой принятия Декларации о независимости.

Изготовили монумент французские мастера по заказу правительства США и по частям переправили на остров. Здесь уже американцы собрали ее на выстроенный цоколь. Статуя Свободы – это не только символ, но и действующий маяк в Нью-йоркской гавани. Высота статуи от начала постамента до верхней части факела насчитывает 93 метра. Сделана фигура из медных пластин, установленных на стальной каркас.

Если вы задаетесь вопросом, что посмотреть в США, обязательно посетите Статую Свободы. Внутри нее оборудован Музей заселения Америки, отображающий исторический путь страны, а также винтовая лестница, ведущая до самого верха, откуда можно обозреть всю гавань. На остров туристов доставляют на пароме, что очень удобно.

Достопримечательности США вызывают большой интерес у туристов. Особое место среди них занимает нью-йоркский Центральный парк. Это оазис спокойствия в бурном деловом потоке Манхэттена. Зеленая зона раскинулась на 4 км в длину и 800 метров в ширину.

Открытие парка состоялось в 1859 году. Десятки тысяч рабочих еще 20 лет облагораживали территорию. Было посажено около 5 млн деревьев, а землю привозили из экологически чистых зон.

Теперь парк имеет целую инфраструктуру отдыха. Это различные игровые площадки, аттракционы, катки и просто лужайки для пикника. На территории парка находятся:

• Центральный зоопарк, разделенный на зоны для детей и взрослых;

• Дайри – здесь можно узнать всю информацию, связанную с деятельностью парка;

• Гапстоу Бридж – каменный мост, место встречи влюбленных пар;

• Овечий луг – огромная поляна, где можно сидеть прямо на траве;

• Бельведер – старинный замок над Черепашьим прудом;

• Сад Шекспира – участок площадью в 4 акра, где высажены растения, воспетые великим драматургом;

• Игла Клеопатры – статуя высотой 20 метров, подаренная Египтом в 1880 году в обмен на в модернизации страны.

Это крупнейшие элементы огромной лесной зоны. Теперь у вас не возникнет вопроса, что посмотреть в США в первую очередь. Центральный парк является самой посещаемой достопримечательностью – 25 млн. человек в год.

The world of childhood is a magical world in which a child can play with dolls, cars, and a ball. And although childhood passes very quickly, it is still very interesting, bright and fun. This is an unforgettable time, a time of dreams, sincere joy and growing up of a child. We must not forget childhood, and we must cherish it in our hearts, and then it will not forget us.Childhood, all about which we can read on the page - it's carefree, fun, joy of every person. When we think about our childhood, we can never say that it was bad for us or that we were bored. These are always good, kind and happy memories of our lives. We grow up, learn about life, and become aware of reality at this age. That is why they start going to school from the age of 6-8 years. We better remember the alphabet, the multiplication table, the rules of the Russian language and other useful information. And children who come to school for the first time still feel like children. They bring toys, dolls and cars with them to classes, and do not realize that this is already, even if it is a small step into the beginning of adult life.

Childhood is freedom, when there are no responsibilities, problems and worries. Many adults often say: "How good it is to be small! You can sleep as long as you want, you can wake up, go to the window and watch people hurry about their business, listen to the noise of the city outside the window. All day you can play different games: hide-and-seek - and hide anywhere, catch-up-run away, for example, from your grandmother. Then you can walk in the fresh air, bask in the sun, lie on the grass and enjoy your freedom. But this is only a dream, because you can not return your childhood!»Every child has a family. The family is the protector. No matter what happens to a child in childhood, no matter who offended him, only in the family there is understanding, support and protection. Perhaps that is why in childhood it is so easy and carefree to live, because parents and family are always on guard. In childhood, there are many different events, and if you eventually forget what happened to you as a child, then mom or dad will always tell you about it.As a child, every holiday pleases us. Always reminds you of delicious cakes, fun and gifts. A birthday is the day we get a year older. We are waiting for him and rejoice in him. Parents congratulate, hugging and kissing, friends come and give gifts. All the kids love it so much!I believe that the world of childhood is a wonderful period in the life of every person. All people have it in different ways, but I have not heard from any person that he said that childhood was bad. After all, there are still some bright unforgettable moments in the life of every person in childhood. After all, childhood is great!In our childhood, there are also unforgettable dates. This can be any trip, travel, and much more. When we talk about it, of course, we are happy and smile, remembering where we have been. Since childhood, we always remember our happy moments, interesting trips.Childhood passes very quickly for everyone, including me. There were many happy moments in my childhood. I would like to mention my mother and I, when we went to Yekaterinburg with my mother, visiting entertainment attractions and especially riding on the "Roller Coaster". I really wanted to ride them, and my mother let me. Since then, I really like this attraction. I will never forget the first time I visited the Limpopo Water Park. Unforgettable are the sensations when you roll down a slide or swing in the pool on artificial waves, as if in the sea. These are amazing memories from my childhood!Yes, maybe as a child you are under the good supervision of your parents, and this only improves your life. Your parents love you, take care of you, and will never let you get hurt. I think that as a child, you live as if in a magical land, in which everything shimmers with different colors and colors, everything sparkles with happiness. Despite the fact that children gradually grow up, the magical land of childhood accompanies a person for many years. Children become adults and smart with age, but they will never forget this magical land – their first school of life, their little life. We all grow up…But you should never forget it, you should remember it with joyful feelings, because these are the first steps in our current, almost adult, life, our first ideas, thoughts and desires. Cherish childhood in your heart, and it will always warm you with a happy thought about it.
