BONFIRE NIGHT
Every year British people make bonfires
on 5th November, called “Bonfire Night”. They celebrate the anniversary of the Gunpowder
Plot. They remember that, in 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes and a group of plotters
tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London.
On that date the King and his leaders were opening the Parliament, an annual ceremony
that takes place every November. Guy Fawkes wanted to kill the King James I. They
were discovered, tortured and executed.
Nowadays on Bonfire Night people light bonfires, let off fireworks, eat warm Bonfire
Night food, like sausages and jacket potatoes and celebrate that the king was not
killed.
During the days before Bonfire Night, children make a life-sized effigy of Guy Fawkes,
called “GUY”, by stuffing old clothes with newspapers.
They put it in prams and on the streets they ask for money saying “A penny for the
guy”. Adults give them money and then they spend it on sparkles and sweets. They
put the guy on the bonfire and burn it.
Every year the Queen Elisabeth II travels on a coach drawn by four horses from Buckingham
Palace to Westminster for the State Opening of the Parliament

Christmas Story
The bunny fun.
A fluffy rabbit lived in the forest. One day he was sitting in the shade of a tree
when a squirrel approached him.
- Hello, sir rabbit, said the squirrel. And looking toward her, she pulled out his
tongue and began to run out.
- Silly, thought the squirrel.
One the way to his burrow, the rabbit met a fawn who also wanted to say hello:
- Good morning, sir rabbit. And again the rabbit pulled out his tongue and began
to run.
And he always did the same when he met an animal in the forest.
One day, all the animals decided to give him a good lesson. They agreed that they
mustn’t say hello when they saw the rabbit.
In the following days, the whole word ignored the rabbit. No one talked to him and
no one greeted him. On day, all animals organized a party and the rabbit appeared
in the middle of the party.
No body took notice of him. Then, the rabbit overwhelmed by the lack of attention
of his colleagues and he decided to leave with his ears low.
The other animals called him and the rabbit promised them not to mock any more of
his friends in the forest. Everybody amused on the party and they lived together
very happy for ever.
