CITY TRANSPORT IN NEW YORK
Like every big city, New York has its own traffic system (транспортная система). Traffic jams can be terrible, and it's usually the quickest way to go by subway (метро). The New York, subway is easy to use and quite cheap (дешево). It goes to almost every comer of Manhattan. But be careful. It’s better not to go by subway late at night.
You see more, of course, if you go by bus. New York buses are also easy to use. The “Shoppers Shuttle” (Monday to Friday) and the “Cultural Loops” (Saturdays and Sundays) stop at some of the best-known stores and tourist places. You can get on and off as many times as you like in one day with only one ticket.
There are more than 30,000 taxis in New York. They are easy to see, because they are bright yellow and carry large TAXI signs (знак, надпись). Taxis do not go outside (снаружи) the city but they will go to the airports. People give the taxi driver a “tip” (чаевые

The tale of the fisherman and the fish"
made an indelible impression on me. It
tells how a poor old
man caught a goldfish. She was magical
and could fulfill any wishes. The old man
there was a very angry and greedy old woman. He
submitted to her will, went to the sea and asked
the fish to fulfill all her wishes. The old
woman was dissatisfied with everything, scolded, called
the old man names. He had no respect for her,
no matter how high she had risen. This is
evidenced by his appeal to her when
she wanted to become a queen:
"Why are you a woman, have you eaten too much henbane?"
And she became a queen, but she did not
want to stay. She sent the old man to the fish and
said:
"Come back, bow to the fish.
I don't want to be a free queen,
I want to be the lady of the sea,
To live for me in the Okiyan sea,
To serve me a golden fish
And it would be on my parcels,"
Only the fish did not want to serve the old woman and
returned her dugout and a broken trough.
This fairy tale taught me to be a generous
person, never to be stingy and to know
everything in moderation.
