Ответ:
There was once a bright pink pig with green spots all over his body. He belonged to Old Mrs. Loveday. The pig stood on a mantelpiece next to a clock. He was made of china, and underneath him was a little place to lock and unlock him, because he was a money-box. One day Lucy went to see old Mrs. Loveday. She knocked at the door, but nobody said “Come in”. She turned the handle and the door opened. Mrs. Loveday was out. She was in her garden. Lucy looked around the room with red geraniums on the windowsill, a little rocking-chair by the fireplace, a small yellow stool — and, of course, the pig with green spots was on the mantelpiece, as usual. She sat down on the little yellow stool and looked at the clock. It had stopped. Lucy thought it would be a good idea to wind it up. She stood up and took down the clock. She wound it up carefully. She reached up to the mantelpiece to put it back — and then the dreadful thing happened. The pig fell on the floor and smashed into a hundred pieces. The money fell out of the pig too. The silver and copper coins rolled here and there, under the sofa, over the rug — all over the room. Lucy stood and stared in horror. What will Mrs. Loveday say? She had had him for such a long time on her mantelpiece! The girl wanted to run away, but then she felt ashamed of herself. Mummy always said you must never run away from problems. At that moment Old Mrs. Loveday came into the room. She looked down at the broken pieces and all the money on the floor. Lucy waited to be scolded. But the old woman laughed happily. “So that ugly pig is broken at last, and I can get the money out of him. You know, I lost the key ages ago. But I’m glad to see such an ugly creature go, and to get my money. You have done me a good turn.” “Oh, I was so afraid to tell you the truth, Mrs. Loveday!”
“You see, I’m glad of the accident because I badly wanted some money today. A friend is coming to see me, and I want to buy flour and currants and chocolate to bake a big cake for her. And you must certainly have a nice big slice to take home to tea, because you are not a coward, but a brave good girl!”
