Number 14, exercise 35A.0:05
Listen to the text Mice and Lions and explain its title.0:10
It was a beautiful morning in early spring.0:22
The sun was shining so brightly that it was impossible to stay in.0:26
That was the reason why Tom Robinson, who was a young biology teacher, decided to take his class to London Zoo.0:31
He phoned his pupils and said that he would meet them at the zoo.0:40
He wanted to show his class some rare species of animals, especially mammals, as that was the subject they were doing at the moment.0:45
So Tom Robinson took his class directly to the cages where animals of savannas were kept.0:55
Not far from the cages there were big baskets for rubbish where people who bought ice creams and other things could throw the papers from them.1:03
While Tom was looking at the lions and thinking of those beautiful huge creatures, he forgot about his pupils for a second.1:13
When he turned to them again, he was surprised to see that there was nobody near the lions cages.1:22
But he was even more surprised when he saw a crowd around the rubbish basket.1:30
He went towards the crowd.1:37
He looked over their heads and saw a little mouse which was running about among the pieces of paper in the basket and looking for bits of food.1:41
It was only a few centimetres from the children, but it was not afraid and the children were happy and more interested in this small common mouse than the wonderful lions.1:52
